Teenage megastar Miley Cyrus drops into a tanning salon in Blackpool (no, we can’t quite believe it either)

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Just last week, Miley Cyrus was sunning herself in a skimpy pink bikini by the pool in Miami. But after flying into wintry England on Friday, the teen star is clearly concerned about losing her healthy glow.

After arriving in Blackpool yesterday ahead of her performance at the Royal Variety Show tonight, the 17-year-old decided to top up her tan at a sunbed shop. Accompanied by her mother Tish, the teenager spent half an hour at the Sunseekers tanning salon in Church Street, a short distance from her suite at the Hilton Hotel.

Despite the chilly 8C evening, Miley was wearing a leopard-print coat over bare legs and ankle boots. Michelle Preston, 19, who works in the tanning salon said she was shocked to see the star in Blackpool.

ETS Tan Debuts New e3(TM) Indoor Tanning Bed Line that Features Sleek Design, Body-Contouring Fit, High Energy Efficiency

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

The LegendNine new alluring, body-contouring and eco-friendly tanning beds make up a new line of commercial tanning beds that begin shipping soon from tanning equipment leader ETS Tan. The e3 line of tanning beds feature the latest in energy-saving science, ergonomic design principles and eco-friendly lamp configurations. The line includes four beds in the Ultimate Envy collection, two Epic beds and two Legend beds.

“Our new tanning beds feature the latest in energy-saving science, ergonomic design principles and eco-friendly lamp configurations,” said ETS Tan CEO Bill Pipp. “I’m excited that after two years of development and testing this day is here. We’re eager to see these sleek, energy-efficient tanning beds inside salons throughout the nation.”

e3 tanning beds feature illuminated panels that change color and add movement, energy and ambiance to any salon. An easy-to-use control panel that includes a timer display for clear understanding of bed operations and optional voice prompts is directly in front of tanners on each bed’s canopy handle. e3 beds have an integrated sound system compatible with MP3 players.

Each e3 tanning bed features electronic ballasts that reduce energy consumption and can lower a salon’s operating costs by up to 30 percent. e3 beds operate at cooler temperatures, allowing salons to scale back air conditioning in the summer months, and use Wolff System lamps that contain less mercury, making them more easily disposable than non-green lamps.

ETS Tan also upgraded its popular Rejuvasun with Omnilux spa bed with e3 technology. The Rejuvasun with Omnilux is the only tanning and skin rejuvenation bed in the marketplace that offers FDA-cleared, medically proven light therapy panels that can reduce fine lines and wrinkles in the face and neck areas by up to 75 percent.

“We kept the investment that salons make when they choose ETS tanning beds at the forefront of our design plans,” Pipp said. “e3 beds are higher output beds that require less space and feature smart access panels that allow easy access to all internal components without removing any bulky covers. All beds feature impact-resistant covers that look great and will stand the test of time.” For more about the new e3 line of tanning beds from ETS Tan, visit etstan.com or the company’s Facebook Fan Page.

Salon owners should ensure beds stay super clean at all times for customers

tanning bedOne of the main problems people have with indoor tanning is the idea that the beds they are laying on are not properly sanitized.  Even if you have your own home tanning bed, sanitation is a key element of your tanning experience.  Fear of disease, germs, and plain old disgust at the idea of trying to relax where someone else’s sweaty backside has been often keeps potential tanners from ever giving it a shot.  This is completely understandable, especially since some tanning bed users prefer to tan in the nude.

To help combat this often paranoid idea of the disgusting tanning bed we present to you some  tips to check how clean the tanning bed you are about to make extended contact with is, and a few easy ways to clean it yourself when it isn’t quite up to snuff.

Tip No. 1: Closely inspect the tanning bed and make sure that the acrylic covering inside of it is not coated in grime and leftover tanning lotion. This tip is fairly straight forward and is good common sense.  If you see any signs of dirt, smudges, fading, staining or rat droppings do not get in without having the tanning bed cleaned and disinfected by a salon employee or yourself first.

Tip No. 2: If the bed appears dirty, clean it with a disinfectant cleaner with the power to sanitize a pit toilet. After each tanning session you should disinfect any area of the tanning bed that touches the tanner’s body.  You need to be sure to thoroughly scourge the acrylic shields where people actual lay on the bed as this is the spot where the most bacteria-infested contamination is located. There are lots of different cleaners made just for tanning beds and are crucial to keeping a clean, cockroach free tanning environment.  Here is a list of a few tanning bed specific cleaners.

Australian Gold Tanning Bed Cleaner: Australian Gold’s tanning bed cleaner is a one-step cleaner with no fuss and no mess. It’s a disinfectant with a neutral pH and it acts as a sanitizer, deodorizer, virucide and fungicide. This is one of the best cleaners out there.

Lucasol Tanning Bed Cleaner: Lucasol is another one-step brand of deodorizing disinfectant. It’s hospital-grade and free from any dyes or scents.

Novus Tanning Bed Cleaner: This disinfectant is part sanitizer and part polish. It leaves behind a protective sheen that repels dust and minimizes static.

Tip No. 3:  Enjoy your germ-free tanning bed. Now that your tanning bed is safely sanitized and clean enough to eat off of enjoy relaxing in the comfortable, irradiated glow for a while, but always remember to tan in safety and moderation.
