The weather has been horrible for getting any sun on your vitamin D deprived body and by the looks of our rainy cold forecast it's not going to get any better soon.  If you have a wedding, reunion or special occasion coming up and want a healthy glow, sunless tanning is your answer!

After visiting with Dawn at AJ's Tanning I found there's two different ways you can get a rich golden sunless tan in no time.  One is with Dawn and a hand crafted airbrush tan, the other is a spray tan using Mystic Tan.

Think about how long it takes for you to get that tan in a normal summer.  With the weather of the Northland and your busy schedule you don't get the color you like until mid-summer.  Why wait?  Start the summer with that golden sun-kissed color and build on it from there.

My first experience was a hand-crafted airbrush tan with Dawn at AJ's Superior location at 1307 Tower Avenue.  I had the Northern Lights Gala Dinner coming up at the end of the week and thought I'd give it a shot.  I didn't know what to expect, but Dawn carefully explained every step and we had a nice chat while she was airbrushing. I could see a noticeable difference right away and LOVED it.  After she airbrushed tanned me, I stood in the stand-up tanning bed to dry which was nice because it allowed me to comfortably put my clothes on without worrying about rubbing some of the color off and getting it on my clothes.  They do airbrush tanning at both locations, in Superior and in Duluth at 15 West Redwing Street.

The other option available at both of AJ's locations is the Mystic Tan.

This technique uses a machine and offers optimum privacy.  It's a machine that you step in, push the button, it sprays one side of your body for a predetermined number of seconds, then you turn around and do the other side.

While I saw immediate results with the airbrush tanning, the Mystic Tan solution will take 4-5 hours to completely darken on your skin.  They also have a clear solution you can use!  I can't wait to try the Mystic Tan machine and watch my body become sun-kissed!

Of course, I want my skin to stay healthy and soft. Dawn helped me pick out the perfect after tanning lotion that smells wonderful, feels fantastic and that my whole tanning family can use whether they are airbrushed, use the Mystic Tan machine or any of the other tanning bed available at both AJ's Tanning locations.

Weddings, reunions and special events of the summer are coming up fast.  Give this a try now so you know what to expect and can get a base going for when we aren't expecting a wintry mix on the weekend!  Gift certificates are available too, think about wedding showers and even baby showers, sunless tanning is a great way for expectant moms to safely get a little color!  In fact, Dawn's sunless airbrushing is portable so she can bring it to you.  Now there's a cool idea for a party or a bridal party shower!
