On April 1st, 2021 Planet Beach Franchising Corporation celebrated a big day, and I’m not talking about April Fool’s!

When Stephen Smith opened the first Planet Beach on May 15, 1995, he truly wanted to revolutionize the tanning industry. His goal: to help people achieve that sense of rested well-being that only comes from a day at the beach. So, he took his experience in gym management and opened his “Electric Beach” in the Uptown district of New Orleans. The concept took off, but the name needed some tweaking. After much thought, it was officially changed to Planet Beach on April 1, 1996, beginning to franchise and expand the concept across the globe with the quest to change the way the world rejuvenates!

But truly the most revolutionizing change came in 2005, when Smith repositioned the company and expanded services, launching our automated spa concept. Such forward-thinking helped the system overcome its most tricky challenge to date, the negative press about tanning.

Smith saw the shift as an opportunity. Recognizing that some customers do benefit from moderate UV therapy, Planet Beach also anticipated huge consumer demand for other health and wellness services and expanded into a one-stop spa with an impressive roster of options.

Since the beginning, the goal of Planet Beach has been to instill a sense of mental and physical renewal for all of the guests who walk through the door. And, all changes at Planet Beach spas have always kept that goal!

“It is kind of like the Marines,” Smith says. “You adapt and overcome.”

The system’s ability to change and meet new needs is great not only for its members but also its local owners. Wellness is not a passing fad, and people need affordable options to help them lead the lives they deserve.

We welcome you to relax in one of our automated massages, tone up and detox in the HOTWORX, or simply add a little glow to your complexion with a UV or spray tanning service in celebration of our 25th anniversary this month. Remember that if you are a first-time guest, you’ll receive a complimentary session. To claim your free session, log on to https://planetbeach.com/free-trial/.

For the benefit of our customers and the communities we serve, we will remain dedicated to the continued success of each Planet Beach spray & spa franchise. Our franchise locations will provide superior customer service in an inspiring, alternative atmosphere. We are so excited about reaching this milestone that we want you to partake in the festivities and join in on the celebration. 25 years and still going strong!! Happy Birthday, Planet Beach!

Prepping for an event, going on vacation, or just want to look your best, sunless tanning is the perfect way to transform your look! Norvell offers both in-salon spray tans and at-home self-tans, which can be customized to your ideal shade of just-off-the-beach color.

Build your tan gradually with Norvell Venetian Gradual Self-Tanning lotion. This rich moisturizer develops sunless color over multiple applications, giving you control over the depth of your tan. Apply morning and night for a faster, darker tan or apply once a day for a gradual bronze.

For color on command, try the Norvell Venetian Self-Tanning Mousse. This lightweight self-tanner gives you instant, streak-free color at home for a long-lasting extended tan. Apply smoothly and quickly to clean, lightly exfoliated skin.

Get an even full body tan from a professional spray tan artist in just 5 minutes. Depending on your desired color, the artist will help customize the best shade for you. You can also choose between a clear tan, tan with a bronzer or a rapid tan. A clear tan goes on colorless and develops over the next few hours. A tan with a bronzer creates an immediate tan while the week-long tan develops underneath. A rapid tan, with bronzer gives you immediate color from the bronzer and can be conveniently rinsed off after just 1, 2 or 3 hours for a light, medium or dark tan.

If you want to look like you just stepped off the beach after a weeklong vacation, ask your spray tan artist about Norvell Premium Double Dark solution. This spray tan solution is one of our deepest, darkest colors available. It’s infused with natural ingredients to nourish your skin, while creating a dark tan with no orange undertones.

With the large variety of Norvell self-tanning products and professional spray tan solutions, we have everything you need to build and maintain a perfect, natural-looking tan. Find a professional spray tan artist near you!

We totally understand how preparing for a spray tan can seem overwhelming. You’ve probably heard DOs and DON’Ts from friends, family, and especially the internet. Prep and maintenance of your sunless tan is super important and so easy, which is why Norvell put together the ultimate guide to a beautiful tan.

Here’s how easy it is to get ready for a spray tan the Norvell way:

Step 1: Exfoliate—but be gentle!
Use a gentle exfoliator before your spray tan to buff away any dead skin. This will help to buff away any dry, dead skin and help you achieve an even tan. We suggest using the Norvell Renewing Sunless Exfoliator—it’s gentle, sulfate-free, and polishes the skin to perfection before your tan.

Step 2: Plan Ahead if Waxing or Shaving
If you need to wax or shave, it should be done at least 24 hours before your spray tan appointment. Doing so before ensures no streaks & an even natural tan!

Step 3: No Lotions
Heavy moisturizers could stand in the way between your skin and your soon-to-be bronze. Lotions could be a barrier that prevents spray tanning solution from absorbing into the skin evenly. The morning of your spray tan, just skip your lotion routine. When it’s time for your appointment, prep the skin as explained in Step 4.

Step 4: Find Your Balance
Balance the pH levels on the surface of your skin immediately prior to a spray tan. After exfoliating, we recommend using the Norvell xLaTan pH Balancing Spray. It helps enhance color results, moisturize the skin for maximum absorption, and set the tone for a beautiful, natural tan.

That’s it! If you follow these simple steps, you’ll be perfectly prepped for your spray tan session. Once you’re beautifully bronzed, check out our Tanning Guide for tips on extending your natural looking tan.

It’s every bride’s dream to have a beautiful glow on her wedding day. We understand how much work goes into getting ready: perfect hair, nails, makeup, and a gorgeous dress that fits just right.

One thing we don’t want you to stress about is getting tan for your wedding. That’s where Norvell comes in.

If turning orange is your worst nightmare, avoid using budget-brand self-tanning products. These products use low-quality ingredients that increase the risk of orange! Norvell products are formulated to counter the unwanted orange undertones.

Our best-selling Venetian collection is formulated with Vio-7, a unique blend of anti-orange bronzer pigments for a perfect tan that enhances your skin tone. You can also book a trial tan, like you would for your hair, prior to the big day to see how the tan looks on your skin.

For an even, natural-looking tan you’ll want to shave, wax and exfoliate 12-24 hours before your spray tan appointment.

We recommend going to your appointment wearing loose, dark clothing. During your session, you can wear undergarments, or go naked to avoid tan lines—it’s up to you!

Your Norvell spray tan will last for about a week. We recommend using Sunless Color Extender Prolong by Norvell. It’s a rich, daily moisturizer that quenches the skin and gradually develops color to maintain your tan.

With all of the planning and prepping you need to do before your big day, rest assured that Norvell is the #1 choice among sunless tanning products. With Norvell, you’ll walk down the aisle with a gorgeous natural-looking tan from head to toe.

The 2020 Christmas Season is upon us and in less than two weeks, families will gather to celebrate the most beloved holiday of the year.  This year will certainly be different, but we can still embrace the magic of the season while keeping our family safe. Although online shopping and Zoom calls with far away relatives may be the norm this year, you can still create lasting memories with your immediate family.  This year, curl up and watch some of your favorite holiday classics, take a ride to view your local light shows and holiday displays or simply make a gingerbread house or bake cookies.  There are many ways to make this season one to remember.

During the holiday, it’s essential that you feel your absolute best so that you can share your good spirits with your loved ones. Planet Beach offers an array of automated products and services that will help elevate your mood.  My go to services during the Christmas Season are Sunless & UV Tanning. Moderate exposure to UV may boost your immune system, help you sleep and improve your mood. A recent article in Healthline noted this about sunlight and serotonin.

“We’re used to hearing about how too much of the sun’s warm rays can be harmful to your skin. But did you know the right balance can have lots of mood-lifting benefits?

Sunlight and darkness trigger the release of hormones in your brain. Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin.  Serotonin is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. At night, darker lighting triggers the brain to make another hormone called melatonin. This hormone is responsible for helping you sleep.

Without enough sun exposure, your serotonin levels can dip. Low levels of serotonin are associated with a higher risk of major depression and seasonal pattern (formerly known as seasonal affective disorder or SAD). This is a form of depression triggered by the changing seasons.”

It’s no secret that 2020 has been a tough year, but there are actions we can take to improve our quality of life during the holiday season.  Exercise, eat healthy and visit Planet Beach to receive moderate levels of UV.  For a limited time, grab one month of UNLIMITED automated services and an exclusive product bundle created for you for only $149! If you’ve been waiting to visit Planet Beach, now is the time. We know the past year has been a difficult one and we are here to provide you with services and products that will make your heart full.

One of the most common questions after getting a spray tan is “how can I make my spray tan last longer?” There are several ways to keep your tan looking great and staying hydrated is one of them.

Norvell spray tans last 5-7 days with proper care. We recommend moisturizing daily to maintain your tan because dry skin can cause your tan to fade faster.

Norvell has several products formulated to keep your skin moisturized and looking like you’ve just stepped off the beach. The daily moisturizer, Prolong, is designed to infuse the skin with moisture while gradually adding color when used day after day. Prolong is formulated with the skin-loving Natural Color Complex that includes Aloe, Tomato Seed Extract and Vitamins C & E to keep skin looking young and feeling hydrated.

The Norvell VIVID Boost Color Building Tan Extending Lotion is another great option for keeping your spray tan looking natural. A moisturizer with the power of a CC cream, Boost has a blend of botanicals to moisturize, brighten and firm the skin. Boost features Vivid bronzers that gradually build color to extend your tan and keep it looking natural.

If your skin is often dry, you’re not out of luck. Norvell’s Skin Renewing Body Butter Lotion is intensely moisturizing to bring dull, dry skin back to life. This non-greasy, rich formula leaves your skin feeling smooth and keeps it hydrated long after sunless tanning.

Apart from keeping your skin moisturized on the outside, it’s just as important to stay hydrated inside. Drinking water helps keep your skin soft and smooth while maintaining the perfect canvas for your Norvell spray tan. So, apply lotion, drink up, and enjoy your long-lasting tan!

A question many people ask is “Is spray tanning safe?” When you tan with Norvell, the answer is yes! Norvell spray tans are formulated with the best ingredients to give you the best tan.

Norvell starts by using Eco-Certified Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA. It’s the active ingredient found in most sunless tanning products, and it’s naturally derived from plants like beets or sugarcane. Norvell works with the world’s #1 supplier of DHA to ensure its purity and quality in all of our ingredients.

DHA is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for external application to the skin. The FDA recommends protective measures to make sure you don’t inhale, ingest, or get the spray in your eyes. This includes wearing protective eyewear, nose filters, earplugs, lip balm, and undergarments when spray tanning. Norvell supports these guidelines, and these items can be provided by your salon.

In addition to DHA, Norvell also uses Eco-Certified Erythrulose. Erythrulose is an active ingredient that takes longer to develop its full effect, giving an extra pop of color around 24 hours after tanning. Erythrulose works in combination with DHA to help your tan last longer.

Other natural ingredients in Norvell products include Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, and Sorbitol. All of our products are paraben free, gluten free, cruelty free, sulfate free, nut allergy free and 100% vegan. They’re also non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog your pores so all products can be used on face and body!

With Norvell, you don’t have to worry whether spray tanning is safe. We only use premium, professional ingredients, test all products on ourselves, and only sell what we love!
