about us
Endless Summer Tanning Salon was founded in 1998 in Loveland Colorado when our owner couldn't find a salon that she was comfortable tanning in. More often than not, she was finding that old bulbs, dirty rooms, and a lack of education around tanning products were the norm. This of course began creating a very frustrating experience, rather than the intended relaxing one. This frustration was exactly what she needed though! From it came the inspiration and desire to design a tanning salon that would break through current industry standards. Producing a salon that she herself would love to spend her extra time in became a passionate goal for her. This meant pursuing a golden standard of always having new bulbs, competitive fees, knowledgeable team members, fashionable clothing, and the cleanest and coolest tanning suites in town. From the beginning, Endless Summer has prided itself in maintaining and surpassing each of these attributes and many more. In 1998 we opened our Loveland location with only 800 square feet, in 2003 we expanded to 1600 square feet, and most recently expanded to 2400 square feet! In 2008 we also were able to successfully transition to Longmont Colorado and recently have extended into a fashionable clothing boutique at both locations. To ensure the right tan for your skin type and occasion, each of our Bronze Angels are Smart Tan certified. The certifications are regarded as the best in the industry and stay relevant to what is going on in the tanning community. We are extremely excited to invite you into the Endless Summer Tanning salons so that you too can see what a difference it makes when standards are set to the highest bar!

accelerate & intensify
Accelerators assist in building your initial 'base tan'. They deliver essential moisture and nutrients to your skin that can help jumpstart the tanning process. These products are made specifically for tanners who are just getting started with developing their initial color. Intensifiers, or bronzers, are for tanners who have reached a plateau with their current color. They may have developed light base tans, but can't seem to get the deep, dark color they're really after. Intensifiers can kick your suntan into overdrive, taking your skin from having a nice bit of color to a deep, dark tan.

tingle

tingling & warming
Tingle lotions are great for the advanced tanner that has "peaked" out in their color and may be finding it difficult to achieve their highest level of bronze. A tingle is a lotion that stimulates the tissue in order to bring oxygen cells to the surface of your skin. When melanin is exposed to oxygen, it bronzes at an accelerated pace delivering the optimum tan. When using a tingle lotion, your skin may feel hot or itchy. This is common and will decrease with in a thirty minute time from to a few hours. It is recommended to stay away from children and avoid touching your face while using tingle lotions.

moisturize & extend

extend & maintain
Sun tan extenders are specialized lotions designed to extend the life of your sun tan. They are made to replenish your skin with all the nutrients, vitamins, and moisture that is lost during UV exposure. Skin that is healthier and more moisturized will maintain a tan for much longer.

Why Tan? There are various physiological and psychological reasons why exposure to light is desirable and necessary. There is a growing body of scientific evidence showing people actually require light exposure to function effectively. Light exposure causes the brain to suppress the release of the hormone melatonin that then acts as a depressant in the body. As well, exposure to light produces various health benefits, such as the production of the very necessary Vitamin D3 that aids in the prevention of bone diseases (i.e. osteoporosis) and in the improvement of psoriasis symptoms.People that are exposed to longer hours of UV light tend to feel happier and are able to enjoy life. Potential health benefits include but are not limited to: production of Vitamin D, decreased risks of breast and colon cancer, and reduced risk of sunburn. The psychological benefits of tanning are also well researched. Sunlight deprivation has been linked to some mental disorders. There are numerous reasons, physical and psychological, why exposure to ultraviolet light is desirable. FDA regulations at the present time prevent the indoor tanning industry from making any medical representations or claims related to indoor tanning exposure. And of course, people know that a great tan looks good, feels good, and can add to personal confidence and desirability.How does my skin tan?Tanning takes place in skin’s outermost layer, the epidermis, with special cells called melanocytes. When exposed to UV-B light (the shorter wave length of ultraviolet light) melanocytes produce the pigment, called melanin. Melanin is the pinkish pigment that travels through the epidermis and is absorbed by other skin cells; when melanin is exposed to UV-A light (the longer wave length of ultraviolet light) it begins to oxidize or darken, therefore producing a tan. This is your skin’s natural SPF against the sunlight and how it protects itself from overexposure to UV light. Your lips and your eyelids do not produce melanin, and therefore they should be protected when exposed to UV light.How long will it take to see results?One should see a skin tone change after the first few tanning sessions, resulting in a good base tan within 8-10 tanning sessions then 1-3 tanning sessions a week should maintain a tan in an entry level bed. To create a good base tan, it is recommended to tan regularly. Allowing too much time between visits will cause a tan to fade. Most people will see a skin color change after the first few sessions. Each person has a different amount of melanin in their skin. Fair-skinned, fair-haired people generally have less than dark-haired, dark-skinned people. This determines, for the most part, how quickly and how dark your skin will tan. What should I wear to tan? Some people choose to wear a swimsuit, just as they would at the beach. Because of the privacy of indoor tanning, most people tan in the nude to avoid tan lines. Any skin that has never been exposed to ultraviolet light before will be more sensitive. These parts must acquire a tan slowly. Cut down the exposure time for these areas to 1/3 or less of the total time recommended by your tanning professional. When you can't see any tan lines on your body at all, it is ok to expose that skin the same length of time as the rest of your body.I am new to tanning indoors…are there some precautions I need to be aware of? Yes, here are few things you want to keep in mind as you begin to tan:• Don't try to rush your tan. A tan should be obtained progressively over time. • Gradually increase your exposure times, 1 to 2 minutes at a time. • Consult your physician if you are taking any medication. Some medication can cause extra sensitivity to the UV light, causing overexposure. • You may want to consult your physician if you have any type of skin irritation or other skin conditions.• Always wear protective eyewear! Ultraviolet light will penetrate the eyelids and can damage your eyesight over time.Can I use outdoor oils and lotions in the tanning bed? NO, just as the word indicates outdoor products should ONLY be used outdoors, as they can cause a film on the acrylic that in turn can also crack the acrylic. This actually inhibits the tanning process too, rather than acting as an amplifying agent. There are many excellent indoor tanning products for that purpose. Ask our tanning professional for recommendations.Why should I use indoor tanning lotions? Indoor tanning lotions also known as "accelerators" add nutrients your skin needs to produce melanin. Our line of quality accelerators contain vitamin A, C, E, and botanicals that moisturize and increase blood flow, thus increasing oxygenation of melanin cells to help speed up the tanning process. UV rays reflect off of dry skin, the moisturizers in tanning accelerators help you absorb UV rays for better results. Because of this a tan is produced twice as fast and kept twice as long.I can't get tan outdoors will tanning in a tanning bed help?There is a possibility it may not help to tan indoors. Some skin types tan quickly and easily while others just don't have the pigmentation necessary to develop much of a tan. People with "type 1" skin are recommended not to tan at all. Type 1 skin is skin that always burns easily and severely, tans little and peels. This condition is most common with people that have fair skin, blue eyes and freckles. Approximately 5% of the population is unable to tan. It is recommended to try a UV free tanning option.Is indoor tanning as effective as outdoor tanning? Yes, in fact, sometimes more so because it is considered a controlled environment. When tanning outdoors the skin is exposed to uncontrolled and often excessive amounts of multi-frequency UV light that cause the skin to burn and therefore leave permanent damage to the skin. The skin produces a tan the same way in an indoor tanning salon as it does when out in the sun: through ultraviolet (UV) light. However, the amount of UV light and exposure cannot be controlled; along with trying to achieve an all-over even-body tan is very difficult. Indoor tanning controls the amount of UV light, and is easier to obtain an all-over even tan. With indoor tanning, gradually increase the exposure time which will eliminate a sunburn. The results and convenience of an "indoor tan" allows a year round healthy looking tan without concerns of prolonged exposure to the burning rays of the sun.How do I keep my tan? Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! Healthy skin tans faster, darker, and retains a tan longer. Drink plenty of water and make sure to keep skin moisturized with a high quality lotion especially formulated for tanning. Skin is constantly renewing itself and the dryer skin becomes the faster it wants to shed its top layers and bring new skin to the surface. As the body loses the top layers of the skin a tan fades. Dry layers on the surface of the skin will block the UV rays from getting to the other layers to tan them. Even with moisturizing a regular tanning schedule needs to be maintained, or at least once a week, to keep your tan, because your skin is reproducing new cells all the time.Why does my tan disappear?The skin cells in the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis, are constantly reproducing and pushing older cells upward toward the surface of the skin, where they are sloughed off in about every 26 to 30 days. As the skin replaces these cells, the cells full of melanin are removed, therefore creating a new layer of skin. So the tanning process must continue with the new layer of cells.I'm really in a hurry... can I tan more than once on the same day? Only if you do a "Double Dip". To give an "instant" tan or an "extra boost" to a tan, consider using our sunless spray booth immediately after tanning in a bed or booth. In just seconds one can have the natural bronze color that is desired. There is no such limitation for spray booth tans and spray booth tanning is allowed on the same day as a traditional tanning session.How much time should I let pass between tanning sessions? The FDA requires 24 hours between tanning sessions. It is recommended to allow at least 2 days in between sessions whenever time allows.Is it okay to shower right away after tanning? It is recommended to wait at least 4 to 8 hours if possible when using a tanning lotion, because the UV light in conjunction with an accelerator or bronzer will continue to develop over time. Tanning is a process that can take up to 24 hours to develop. It is not possible to "wash" away a tan, unless a self-tanner has been used, shaving right away, or exfoliating.Should I use SPF on my lips? Yes! Use an SPF on your lips because your lips can't tan and it protects them from being burned.What is the difference between low pressure units & high pressure units? Low pressure units emit both UVA & UVB at a low energy level. Low pressure units will give more of a red tone tan, and needs to be maintained more often. High pressure units generate UVC, UVB, & UVA, but by means of a sophisticated filtering system, only UVA and small amounts of UVB are emitted during a high pressure tanning session. It only takes 3-4 sessions with a high pressure unit to build a golden tan and only 1-2 sessions every 10 days to maintain it.How old do I have to be to tan without my parent's consent?By law a person must be 18 years or older in order to tan without parental consent. State law requires signed parental permission for anyone less than 18 years of age. Anyone under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present with them to sign the Release Form before tanning the first time in our salon. After signing the Release, parents do not need to be present on subsequent visits. We will not accept notes from home, phone calls or parents of friends or other relatives to sign for them as we cannot verify their authenticity.Do I really have to wear eye goggles? Yes! It is very important that eye protection is worn inside the tanning beds. Your skin can tan - your eyes cannot. Federal law requires all tanning salons to supply customers with proper eye protection. This eyewear must meet federal government standards by blocking 99% of UVA and UVB rays. Closing the eyelids or using sunglasses or cotton balls is not adequate protection as the UV rays will easily penetrate these things and continue into the eyes.Can I tan if I'm pregnant? Please consult your physician. Although we know that there is no danger from UV rays since they cannot penetrate deeper than the dermis (skin layer). Pregnant women are advised to be cautious with saunas, hot tubs and other things that can cause excessive heat to build up in the uterus. Endless Summer does not allow pregnant women to tan, therefore if your physician okay's your tanning, written consent from your physician/doctor will need to be provided.When shouldn't I tan? When taking photosensitizing medication it is not recommended to tan outdoors or indoors. Always consult a physician about UV light exposure when taking medications or ask our tanning consultant to see a list of medications, which can greatly increase the risk of overexposure. A partial list, by no means inclusive, appears below.Many common medications and even ingredients in food, shampoos & soaps can cause photo sensitivity which may lead to overexposure. Perfumes and colognes containing Furocoumarins, compound from natural products such as plants and fruits, can cause your skin to become highly sensitive to UV light. Food and fruits that contain photosensitizing agents are: celery, carrots, lime, coriander, parsley, fennel, dill, buttercup, mustard and fig. Not everyone will experience a photosensitive reaction. Also, someone who experiences a photosensitive reaction once will NOT necessarily experience it again or every time.Medications will NOT cause the same degree of skin reaction in all individuals.The following list is the most common photosensitizing prescription and over the counter medications that may cause a reaction to UV exposure, however is not an exhaustive list of everything that could have photosensitizing effects. For answers to any question about a drug or product that you use, it is recommended to consult your physician.AccutaneAchromycinActidilActifedAdrueilAldactazideAldoclorAldorilAmbenylAncobonApresolene-EsidrixAquatensonAsendinAzo GantanolAzo GantrisinAzulfidineBactrimBainetarBarbituratesBenadrylButazolidinCapotenCesametCiproClinorilCompazineDanocrineDapsoneDeclomycinDeconamineDiabetaDiabineseDilantinDimetaneDincardin DluloDiupresDiurilDiutensen-RDyazideDyreniumElavilEndepEnduronylEsidrixEsimilEstar GelEtrafonExnaFansidarFlexerilFolexFulvicin U/FGantanolGaramycinGlucotrolGrisactinHaldolHibiclensHispril Spansule HydromoxHygrotonInderideIntal InhalerIntron ALasixLibriumLimbitrolLozolLudiomil MarplanMaxzideMellarilMeperganMexateMexate-AQMinizideMinocinModureticMotrinMykroxNaquivalNaturetinNegGramNeptazaneNormozideNoroxinNorpraminOptimineOreticylOrnade SpansuleOrudis CapsulesPamelorPediazolePeriactinPermitilPertofranePhenerganPhisohexPolaramineProlixinQuindexQuinidineQuinineRauzide ReneseRu-Tuss II CapsulesSeldaneSeptraSer-Ap-EsSerentilSerepasilSinequanSparineStelazineSumycinSurmontilTacarylTaractanTavistTegretolTemarilTenoreticTerramycinThalitoneThorazineTimolideTofranilTolazamideTolinaseTrandate HCTTriaminic TRVasereticVasotec TabletsVelbanVivactilVoltaren TabletsZaroxolyn What causes white spots? Tinea Versicolor, a skin condition, caused by a microscopic fungus from the scalp, that falls onto arms, shoulders, and other body parts and leaves bleached-looking areas on the skin, which can spread. It is treatable with topical aids such as leaving the active ingredient in Selsum Blue dandruff shampoo on for 10 minutes along with applying Tea Tree oil twice daily for mild cases. For more resistant conditions, a doctor may prescribe pills for treatment. Since tinea versicolor covers skin cells and acts as a sun screen with high SPF factor, the affected areas will not tan and should be protected from further ultraviolet light exposure until those bleached areas have begun developing melanin again. Can indoor tanning cure acne? Phototherapy (use of UV light) has been used in treating the skin problems of this condition. Tanning dries the skin and this can help keep acne outbreaks to a minimum in acute cases and can help eliminate outbreaks in mild cases. There are also many drugs, including tetracycline and Retin-A, which are also used for the treatment of acne. Because these drugs can render the skin photosensitive, one must take extreme care with UV exposure when medicated.How do I get rid of pressure points?Pressure points are usually found on the shoulder blades, tailbone and elbow area. In order to prevent this it is recommended to change positions several times during the tanning session to allow oxygen to reach that area of the skin. Within a few tanning sessions they should disappear.Does tanning help treat depression or Seasonal Affective Disorder? Scientific evidence does exist showing that some people require more light exposure in order to function properly. Bright light exposure, such as the mid-day summer sun, causes the brain to suppress the release of the hormone melatonin which acts as a depressant in the body if generated during the daytime. Effected people, exposed to longer hours of bright light, feel happier and more able to enjoy life. Bright light sources emitting only visible light are now frequently used to successfully treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Sub-syndrome Seasonal Affective Disorder (SSAD).What is the best lotion?The way indoor tanning lotions work is that they stimulate the production of melanin in the body. The purpose of this is to increase the effects of the UV rays that you expose yourself to in a tanning booth (which is why you can get a tan more quickly indoors than outdoors). There are different ways that different indoor tanning lotions stimulate melanin production. One of these is to use chemicals which cause the blood to flow to the skin more quickly than normal, moving the melanin to the skin. You know that feeling when your foot falls asleep and then the blood rushes back in to it and it tingles? It’s more or less the same idea, except that you increased blood flow instead of blood returning to the body after levels decreased. There is not a correct answer to this question. Everyone has their personal preferences as to what they expect a lotion to do and the results they expect to receive. There are other variables to take into account also, such as: skin type, tanning experience, oily skin, dry skin, the type of tanning lamps and tanning bed used etc. There are simply too many factors involved to determine what the “BEST” lotion is. Please speak with a team member who will best be able to advise you according to your needs and expectations. What is this tingle factor?A "tingle" is a stimulation of the epidermal layers of your skin. Most people feel their skin heat up or tingle after applying these lotions. The skin stimulation (irritation) brings blood closer to the surface of the skin. The blood brings melanin with it and will tan the skin more quickly. What is a Bronzer? Bronzers are a dye that changes the color of the skin instantly. Some people love them and others hate them. Applying a bronzer evenly is suggested to avoid streaking; also be careful when applying to dry areas of the skin as they will absorb more of the bronzer and leave the skin a different color. Elbows, knees, between the fingers, and palms of hands are the most common spots. Many people that use bronzers will take wet wipes with them to clean these areas and hands immediately after applying bronzers.Can I use any moisturizer for my dry skin?Using moisturizers that are specifically designed and developed for indoor tanning will extend the life of your tan. It is advised to use it frequently while tanning and also when not tanning, because properly moisturized skin tans much easier.What can I do to tan my face & legs better?Use a moisturizer at least twice daily. It's a fact that moist skin tans much better than dry skin. Ask a tanning consultant about lotions specially made to enhance tanning with the face and legs. I just can't get any darker. What can I do?Skin actually becomes thicker as tanning progresses and making it more difficult for UV light to penetrate the upper layers of skin. This is commonly referred to as a tanning "plateau." Moisturizer is extremely important at this point. Your skin cells are standing up as much as 45°and are actually reflecting the UV rays. Using a lot of moisturizing lotion will help these cells lie down and become more translucent, therefore more receptive to UV rays.Can I use my tanning lotion outdoors?Please do not! Indoor lotions usually DO NOT contain SPF, which will leave you with no sun protection from the sun’s UV rays. Outdoor UV rays can vary daily even hourly in intensity. It is recommended you use a SPF while tanning outdoors.Can I use outdoor lotion in the tanning beds?Outdoor tanning lotions are not recommended for indoor use, as they can cause a film on the acrylic and will inhibit the tanning process.When tanning, I get extremely itchy skin...Is there something to prevent this?Most likely the skin is either photosensitive to UV light or allergic to a chemical in the tanning lotion. Try taking a shower and washing off all existing chemicals from your skin then go to your tanning session and tan without lotion. If you don't have a good base tan, cut your tanning session down a few minutes. After the tanning session it will be apparent whether it is UV sensitivity or a problem with your lotion. Considering a hypo-allergenic lotion may be suggested as well.Is it true that a sunburn will fade into a tan? NOT true! Many people FALSELY assume that sunburns will eventually "fade" into tans. Sunburning is associated with permanent skin damage!!!! A sunburn is an injury on top of your tanned skin. That's why it can be so painful! Never! Never! Never! burn the skin intentionally. Endless Summer believes in smart tanning.Did you know...? Because your skin needs oxygen to produce a tan, pressure points that cut off blood circulation to the skin can cause un-tanned spots. Shoulder blades, calves and even the buttock are often affected. Try flipping over mid-way through your session, or using a session in our high speed stand-up beds help reduce these pressure points. Did you know...? The heat that you feel while tanning is from the infrared spectrum of light and has absolutely nothing to do with the tanning process. Did you know...? Your skin may need more than 24 hours to recover after being exposed to ultraviolet light. We recommend that you space your tanning sessions 24-48 hours apart to allow proper recovery time and reduce the risk of overexposure.
