Tanning Tips 101 💫

Redlight first, then UV. Why do people love this combo? 🔴☀️

Redlight is the skincare part of the visit. With regular use, it may help improve the look and feel of your skin. Your UV session develops the colour 💛 your lotion and aftercare help keep skin feeling smooth so that colour looks vibrant and radiant. 🤎✨

🔴 START WITH RED LIGHT ON CLEAN SKIN.
🧴 APPLY YOUR SALON APPROVED TANNING LOTION AFTER RED LIGHT.
☀️ THEN ENJOY YOUR UV SESSION.
✨ MOISTURIZE AFTERWARD.

Do you add red light to your tanning visits? 🙋‍♀️

THIS is why I love getting Melaplus updates!! 😍☀️

Julita sent me these shots and I immediately had to zoom in on that tan line 🤩 Thank you for sharing your photos with me Julita | Sunbed Supplier | Skincare Wholesaler | Salon Owner 💛🫶🇬🇧 J SOLUTIONS SERVICES LTD - Commercial Sunbeds Specialists

Here’s why I keep telling people to make Melaplus part of they’re routine, not just tanning day:

☀️ Use it as your tanning lotion before a session
💛 Use it daily to keep your skin moisturized between sessions
✨ Aloe, jojoba, carrot, olive and safflower oils help nourish your skin and leave it feeling soft
🤎 No DHA or cosmetic bronzer. The colour you develop is your own tan

It’s one bottle you can use on tanning days and every day in between. That’s why I’m always talking about Melaplus! 🤩 It’s such an easy addition to any skincare routine!

Ready to try Melaplus? It’s available at www.johnabate.com and at participating salons. DM me if you want more info! ☀️💛

“Dear person behind me,
the world is a better place
with you in it.

Love,
the person in front of you.” ❤️🫂

Yesterday, we sat by the water and watched the sun go down. 🌅🌊 I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately, but in that moment, I didn’t need to figure anything out. We just sat there, sharing a quiet moment while the sky turned gold. ✨

I don’t know how to explain what the sun does for me. I feel its warmth, take a deep breath, and suddenly I feel a little more like myself again. It’s healing for my soul. ☀️❤️‍🩹

And I hope the words on my sweater reach someone who needs them today. You matter. Your presence makes a difference. The world is a better place with you in it. 🫶💛

Tan Fun Facts ☀️

Your skin is smarter than most people realize. ☀️🧬

Melanin isn’t just what gives your skin a beautiful tan 💛🤎 it’s part of your body’s natural response to UV exposure.

As melanin is produced and distributed throughout the skin, it helps absorb and scatter some incoming UV radiation while protecting the DNA inside your skin cells. 🧬

That doesn’t mean tanning is risk-free, and it certainly doesn’t mean burning is okay. The goal has always been the same:

☀️ Tan gradually.
☀️ Never burn.
☀️ Respect your skin.

The more you understand how your skin works, the better decisions you can make. 💭

A tan… and John Abate’s Accelerating Body Oil and Melaplus. 😎☀️

✨ JA Solarium™ Accelerating Body Oil is an ultra-fine oil that melts into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Its blend of passionflower, golden palm and sesame oil helps nourish and soften the skin, while the light lavender scent makes it feel luxurious. It’s formulated for tanning beds without damaging the bed’s acrylic surface, and you can use it outdoors too.

💛 Melaplus is a tanning lotion that doubles as an everyday moisturizer. With aloe, jojoba and safflower oils, plus vitamins A and E, it helps hydrate and condition your skin so it feels soft and looks smooth. It’s DHA-free, can be used on your face and body, and belongs in your routine even on days you’re not tanning. Use it during your tanning session and again after your showers.

☀️ A tanning session and skin care that doesn’t end when the session does. That’s the combination. 😌✨

DID YOU KNOW… 💡

Red Light Therapy is the name most people recognize, but in scientific research, you’ll often see it called photobiomodulation, or PBM. 🔬🔴

PBM uses specific wavelengths of red and/or near-infrared light to influence activity within our cells. Unlike UV light, these wavelengths do not cause tanning.

The light interacts with light-sensitive parts of the cells and may support processes involved in:

✨ Cellular energy production
✨ Circulation
✨ Inflammation control
✨ Tissue repair and recovery
✨ Skin health and collagen production

But the wavelength, intensity, treatment time and distance from the device all matter. More light does not automatically mean better results.

So, Red Light Therapy is the popular name. Photobiomodulation is the science behind it. ❤️
