We all want to achieve that healthy glow. The problem most of us have is knowing exactly how and where to start. Whether you prefer UV-Therapy, Sunless Spray Tans, or a cocktail of both, Planet Beach has got you covered! In this 3-part series I will walk you through the best practices of all 3 options!

Today, we’re diving into UV-Therapy. Indoor UV-Therapy allows you to experience a healthy, refreshed glow as your entire body approaches new horizons in health and beauty. Achieve that sought-after glow with one of Planet Beach’s many levels of UV-Therapy services. Designed to help you look great and feel even better, researchers are finding that exposure to UV light has many positive psychological and physiological effects including increased production of brain’s mood-lifting chemical, serotonin, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, increasing muscular strength, increasing sex hormones, and much more!

But let’s talk about the glow! The results you will achieve are comparable to a day in the sun with less risk! Here are some tips from your partners in beauty, Planet Beach to ensure the healthiest looking glow.

-Prep Your Skin! It’s best to shower, shave, and exfoliate a day or two before your UV session. Exfoliating helps prepare your skin. Planet Beach’s Buff or Scrub are great exfoliation options and are all natural!

-Apply indoor tanning lotion evenly in a circular motion and over all areas of the body. Using the right skin care products is the best way to extend the life of your tan! Planet Beach offers bronzers and intensifiers specially formulated for indoors. Note that lotions not made for indoors can cause damage to the UV beds and don’t help develop your tan. Ask one of our knowledgeable Spa Consultants to assist you in finding the right ones for you!

-Wear eyewear! It’s required by law since UV rays can be harmful to eyes. No, sunglasses don’t count! Your Planet Beach location can get you set up with your very own set of goggles to bring with you for every session.

-Using a tanning extender is the best way to ensure long-lasting results. We offer an array of products that can hydrate your skin and help you keep your glow longer! Our Infuse is an amazing daily moisturizer with ingredients that not only moisturize but assist in the production of melanin, which is what gives you that long-lasting brown color!

– Lastly, use our other services! We have other services to assist you in looking and feeling your best while keeping that golden glow! One being Hydro-Derma Fusion. This is a 20-minute. skin conditioning system that can be paired with UV, Sunless sprays, or other spa services to enhance results. It infuses your skin with revitalizing moisture aromatherapy. Infrared heat and steam ensure longer-lasting results! Another service you shouldn’t go without is Red light therapy. Since the red-light therapy brings blood to the surface of your skin it produces a better tan through increased oxidation of melanin not to mention the increased production of collegian and elastin for more even, youthful skin tone!

Spring is approaching! No time to waste! Check out what UV options and other services your local Planet Beach has to offer HERE!

According to a study performed by human physiology researchers at the University of Oregon, increasing heat exposure may be the best thing for optimizing athletic performance in normal to cool environments.

The study examined the impact of heat acclimation to improve athletic performance in hot and cool environments.  There were exercise tests conducted on 12 avid cyclists where the participants underwent physiological and performance tests under both hot and cool conditions, 55.4 degrees Fahrenheit and 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit to be exact.  A separate control group of 8 cyclists underwent testing and followed the same exercise regime in a cool environment.  The outcome concluded that the heat acclimation exposure provided a dramatic increase in overall physical performance, stamina and recovery. Santiago Lorenzo, who performed the research as part of his dissertation at the University of Oregon, found performance increases of approximately 7% after 10 heat acclimation exposures.

Although I’m not a professional athlete, I had my own personal experience to increased heat exposure while participating in a one hour martial arts inspired body combat class at my local gym last week.  The temperature in the class was unusually warmer than usual.  I observed my workout peers start to tire easily and even complain about the heat.  Surprisingly, the increased heat didn’t affect my level of performance at all and I felt very steady with my level of exertion. The workout was not easy by any means and I was definitely breaking a sweat, but it didn’t hinder my level of endurance and overall workout performance.  I felt strong and finished the workout with a red face and an increased level of energy.

I fully attribute my ability to acclimate to the higher temperature to my use of the HOTWORX Infrared Sauna on a regular basis. HOTWORX, the virtually instructed heated exercise program, uses a combination of heat, infrared energy and exercise to flush toxins from the body, while strengthening and toning the muscles.  While the infrared energy is known to strengthen the cardiovascular-system and improve workout recovery, the heat works in unison to increase the body’s core temperature, increase circulation and speed the metabolism. It’s the ultimate workout.

It doesn’t matter whether you are an athlete training for a triathlon or someone that wants to maintain a consecutive workout regime, adding HOTWORX into the mix will help you build endurance and stamina both inside and outside of the sauna.  The combination of 30-minute isometric or 15 minute HIIT workouts, combined with infrared energy and heat make it the perfect trifecta to deliver more workout in less time.

HOTWORX may be found along with other wellness services at select Planet Beach locations.  Log on to https://planetbeach.com/spa-locator/ to find a location nearest you and claim your free session today.  Earn the Burn and join the HOTWORX movement today.

Massages are much more than just relaxing. In fact, our natural instincts turn to them in moments of need. This is the reason that you self-massage sore muscles, and it has also led to the rapidly growing global spa industry. As an added bonus, there are numerous health benefits associated with a massage. Fortunately, massages come in a variety of lengths and styles, which means that even people with truly hectic lifestyles can take advantage of this health-boosting technique. At Planet Beach Spray & Spa, you can get a massage at lunch without breaking the bank or even taking off your clothes! If you’re still not convinced, here are a few reasons why a massage can significantly benefit your health!

-Massages can alleviate headaches. Whether you have a tension-type headache or suffer from migraines, medical research has proven that regular massages can help reduce or even eliminate this painful problem.

-Massages soothe and relax the body.  The right amount of pressure, sometimes combined with heat, can soothe your achy muscles. If your body is tight from a tense week at the office, a massage is a great way to relax!

-Massages reduce joint pain. Joint pain is a common issue that is experienced by everyone from pregnant women to fibromyalgia sufferers. Receiving a regular massage will relieve this pain. In fact, many medical professionals refer patients with joint pain to massage.

-Massages can dramatically reduce anxiety. Approximately 40 million Americans have some form of anxiety, and this can be borderline emotionally crippling at times. Anxiety is even responsible for almost one-third of the nation’s total mental health expenses. The good news is that massage can cut your body’s level of stress hormones in half, which will alleviate the symptoms of anxiety.

-Minimize back pain with a massage. Back pain is one of the most common medical complaints, but you do not need to live in pain. Studies have shown that massage reduces the need for painkillers by 36 percent, and it is more effective than chiropractic care or acupuncture.

-Massages promote flexibility. Most people are not nearly as flexible as they would like to be, and this often causes uncomfortable stiffness. Fortunately, a massage can make it easier to increase your flexibility.

-Research shows massages help cancer patients. Four out of every 10 adults will battle with cancer at some point during their life. Massage is now being widely used as a complementary treatment because it offers a reduction in many of the symptoms associated with cancer, including nausea, pain, insomnia and fatigue.

-Re-energize with a massage! Do you often feel drained by the end of your workday? Massages will relax you, but they are also known for making the receiver feel more energetic throughout the rest of the day.

-Massage relieves insomnia. At any given time, one-third of adults are experiencing a bout of insomnia, so it is no surprise that people are constantly looking for ways to improve their quality of sleep. Sleep studies have shown a very strong link between weekly massages and reduced insomnia. This is extremely important when you consider the many health issues that are caused by a lack of sleep, including a weakened immune system and a greater risk of depression.

-Increase your quality of life with massages. Medical patients receiving palliative care experience a boost in their quality of life with regular massages, and the same is true for everyone. This is one of the primary reasons that more than half of the 32.6 million Americans who get a massage at least once a year do so for health reasons.

-Massages help digestive issues. Everyone experiences the occasional digestive issue, and a massage can help! Regardless of whether you have been constipated for three days or have a chronic digestive issue, a massage is a good way to get your system working more properly.

-Massage combats stress. Chronic stress increases your risk of contracting cancer, heart disease, cirrhosis of the liver and lung ailments. Additionally, it is responsible for many accidents and suicides. In other words, stress is quite literally killing some people, but you do not have to remain so stressed out! Instead, go to your local Planet Beach so you can take advantage of the stress-busting benefits of massage therapy!

-Boost your immune system with massages. Everyone can benefit from a boosted immune system, especially people who typically deal with several minor illnesses every year. A research group at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center discovered that a single massage alters the human body’s immune response. Therefore, getting a massage weekly or biweekly is a great way to strengthen your immune system!

-Massages can beat PMS. The pain that some women experience before and during their menstrual cycle can be effectively combated by a massage. Even better is the fact that studies have shown a direct connection between massage and a reduction in water retention, depression and other symptoms of menstrual distress.

-Massage fixes postural stress. Another major problem associated with sitting all day is the development of serious neck and shoulder pain. This is caused by postural stress, and it can also impact your glutes and lower back. Massages address this physical stress and will relieve your painful symptoms.

-Massage will lower your blood pressure. If you have issues with high blood pressure, then scheduling regular massages is definitely a good idea. Individuals with a hectic lifestyle and high blood pressure can benefit from as little as a 10-minute chair massage once a week.

-Increase your blood circulation with massages. Massages help your blood circulation, and this offers a long list of benefits. For example, if you have any health conditions that slow down your blood circulation, massage will provide healthier skin, better organ functionality and improved cell growth.

-Become more alert with a massage. Planet Beach offers automated massages, and this is a scientifically backed way to make people feel more alert. The mental boost you receive from a simple 15-minute chair or water jet massage will make daily tasks much easier and can reduce your odds of being in an accident.

So, what are you waiting for? At Planet Beach, we offer a variety of automated massage options! The great part about it is you can get a massage in just 20 minutes on your lunch break or after work!

Here’s 3 reasons to check out Planet Beach in 2019:

1. “Me Time”

So regardless what your New Year’s resolutions are, Planet Beach will be your secret weapon!


Written By: Alyssa Fink, Franchise Performance Consultant

Following the season of festivities and feasting, many of us have made the ultimate New Year’s Resolution to get fit and tone up in 2019.  We envision ourselves making healthier choices, falling into a work out regime and decreasing our caloric intake with the goal of shrinking our waistline.  According to Statista, 53% of Americans surveyed wanted to save money in the upcoming year closely followed by 43% who wanted to lose weight or get in shape.  Of which, only 8% of those surveyed will follow through on their intended goals.  I don’t know about you, but my resolutions for 2019 mirror those mentioned above, and I’m determined to fall into that 8% that persevere against all odds. So yes, I’m wishing for a fat bank account and a slim waist and not the other way around!

I believe the ultimate key to achieving your overall goal by year end is to set realistic small goals for the coming year and start immediately.  Making drastic changes that are unrealistic and waiting for the perfect moment to put your resolution into play may cause you to derail.  Instead, make a commitment to make a few small changes gradually and start it right away.  Make the commitment now and go for it!

If getting in shape falls at the top of your to-do list in 2019, visit a Planet Beach near you to try the revolutionary HOTWORX Sauna.  Although Planet Beach offers an array of weight management services and complementary products that will enhance results, HOTWORX reigns supreme. The virtually instructed exercise program within the heated sauna allows users to experience the benefits of infrared heat absorption, while completing a 30-minute isometric workout or 15-min High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) session. It’s the ultimate workout in a short amount of time.

When you visit Planet Beach, a professional consultant will meet with you to discuss the goals you’ve set for the new year.  They will guide you through a personal spa profile, which will help determine your overall fitness, wellness or beauty needs and recommend the associated products and services that will help you make the necessary lifestyle changes. Visit a location near you and join this month for only $20.19. As an added bonus, select locations will be offering a 20% discount on beauty and fitness bundles, combining everything you need at a discount.

As we kiss goodbye to 2018 and leap into the New Year, set small realistic goals, act now and visit a Planet Beach near you to start the next, more enriched chapter of your life.  Your free session awaits! Visit https://planetbeach.com/spa-locator/ to find a location near you.

May your New Year be full of blessings and joy! Love, Planet Beach

HydroGo Antioxidant Essentials

“Antioxidants” is one of those buzzwords that gets thrown around a lot, even though most people don’t fully understand what it means. We know that foods full of antioxidants are really good for us, and we should buy skincare with antioxidants to keep our skin healthy and ward off signs of aging. We need antioxidants, we should always say “yes” to antioxidants. But, why? What are these mythical compounds, and why is everyone always making such a big deal out of them?

Antioxidants are compounds found in food that stop or delay damage to the cells. They are naturally found in many foods, especially plants. They help ward off cell damage by “cleaning up” or removing waste products in our cells, called free radicals, before they can do harm. Antioxidants are released from the foods we eat through digestion and travel through the bloodstream and into cells, where they do work on free radicals.

Speaking of words often thrown out yet rarely explained: the infamous “free radical.” “Free radicals” is a general term used for compounds that are highly reactive, which means that they can attach, bind to, and ultimately damage normal cells in the body, such as DNA. Free radicals are most often implicated in cell damage that leads to cancer development. Free radicals can be caused by outside sources, such as smoking or toxins, but a lot of them come from normal metabolism in the body. Thus, we can control them to some degree—for example not smoking or overeating—but not entirely. The body has built-in defenses to reduce the impact of free radicals, but it could use some help. That’s where antioxidants come in. These molecules bind to free radicals, thereby potentially reducing harm to molecules such as DNA. Once bound to antioxidants, free radicals are no longer free to bind with—and potentially damage—parts of your cells.

Now that I have you all bored and feeling like you’re back in school, let’s get to the fun stuff! Antioxidant perks extend much further than fighting free radicals. They support kidney function, protect against digestive disorders, provide anti-aging effects, maintain healthy vision, improve productive function, body defenses, and nervous system, support respiratory and immune systems, reduce obesity, protect the liver, and improve quality of sleep! So, how can you say “yes” to antioxidants and experience these advantages? Introducing Planet Beach’s NEW Antioxidant Essentials, a powerful, free radical fighting, antioxidant-packed drink mix that delivers vital nutrient benefits. Most people don’t eat enough antioxidant-rich foods, so our Antioxidant Essentials makes it easy for you to get these life-enhancing nutrients in a great tasting, natural berry flavor. Planet Beach’s Antioxidant Essentials contains super-berries (including acaii, pomegranate, mangosteen, raspberry, goji berry, cranberry, blueberry, and strawberry), super-fruits (including golden kiwi, banana juice, grape skins and seeds, apple, peach, and orange), and super-foods (including chlorella, spirulina, aloe vera juice, red beet, carrot, and coconut juice) all at effective doses! We also added nutrients like L-arginine, L-citruline, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, and Beta Carotene to make this the most antioxidant packed product on the market. Let’s not forget the convenient on-the-go packets! Just add to 6-8 oz of water and start reaping the benefits!

Having a clear and bright complexion is something we strive for. I follow a meticulous skin regimen twice a day to keep my skin glowing, healthy, and rejuvenated. I started taking care of my skin at a young age by properly cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing everyday so I would age gracefully. In order to keep your skin looking youthful, it’s important to find top notch products that’ll enable your skin to looks its best. When I joined the Planet Beach corporate team, I was introduced to Planet Beach’s skin products and fell in love. The products are made with high quality, all natural ingredients that are gentle on your skin. Here are 5 of the products that I’ve incorporated into my daily skin care routine:

Cleanse

Cleanse is easily one of the best cleansers I’ve ever used, as it penetrates the dirt out of my pores gently without drying out my skin. This is the first step to a beautiful, luminous complexion. It is gentle enough to use a on baby or even brush your teeth if you run out of toothpaste!

Polish

Polish is a refreshing, and gentle exfoliator that deeply cleans and leaves your skin feeling fresh. Polish refines the skin by removing dead skin cells, in addition to reducing fine lines, uneven texture, and irregular pigmentation. This is my favorite exfoliator, as I’ve never used another one where I can actually feel the dirt coming out of my pores and feel renewed. Use Polish to transform and brighten your complexion.

Apricot Grape Seed Exfoliator

Yes, another exfoliator on my list! I really love both products and use them interchangeably. Plus, I enjoy trying out different exfoliators to see what works for my skin. Planet Beach’s Apricot Grape Seed exfoliator is scrub that’s amazing for all skin types, as it has a great blend of vitamins, anti-oxidants, and collagen, just to name a few. It invigorates dull, lifeless skin and deeply cleanses both the face and neck, while providing moisture and skin cell regeneration. I use the apricot grape seed exfoliator 2-3 weekly after cleansing my skin.

Balance

After cleansing and exfoliating my skin, I use the Balance toner to remove additional dirt and bacteria. This oil-free toner helps protect your skin’s pH levels and kills acne-causing bacteria, while refreshing the skin’s surface layer. I personally use two cotton balls to ensure all the remaining dirt is removed, twice a day. This is one of my favorite steps, especially after a day of wearing a full face of makeup. Incorporating Balance into your daily skin routine will shrink the size of your pores, restore your skin’s pH balance, and revitalize your skin.

Apple Stem Cell Moisturizer

I personally have combination skin, so moisturizing is extremely important for me since my cheeks tend to get dry. The apple stem cell moisturizer not only smells great, but it also protects, prevents, and repairs aging skin cells by replacing damaged cells with new, healthy ones. Plant stem cells have age fighting and skin renewing properties that’ll gradually make your skin softer and youthful. Moisturize with the apple stem cell moisturizer to protect your skin from aging.

Planet Beach offers quality skincare for all skin types, whether you have normal, dry, combination, or oily skin. It is your one stop shop and the first step to achieving a flawless complexion. Visit a Planet Beach near you today and learn about the amazing properties of our skincare products. Always remember: skincare is a necessity, not a luxury!

Paving the way to success in the impending year requires a lot of preparation. Most of your time will be spent reviewing the previous year’s accomplishments and forecasting for the upcoming year.  Remember that the new year is a new start and an opportunity to make the necessary improvements to win in business.  The transition to the new year will take focus, dedication and strategic planning.  Below are three key strategies to help you hit the ground running and win in 2019.

  1. Have a Plan! George Patton said “A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.”  Bearing that in mind, make sure you have a plan and establish your goals.  Reduce your goals to writing and remember that you must start somewhere.  It’s completely normal to make the necessary strategic adjustments throughout the year, however let the clearly defined goals govern your outcome.  Don’t let the ball drop on midnight New Year’s Eve without having an imperfect, but clear set of objectives.
  2. Communicate the Plan! “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”-George Shaw.  This statement is so profound, that I’ll leave the latter simple stated. When it comes to the company objectives and goals, use all forms of communication to clearly communicate them.
  3. Teamwork makes the dream work!  James Penney said “growth is never mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.”  Once the goals are established and clearly communicated, they must be executed.  I strongly suggest assessing your team members to ensure that you have the right players in the appropriate roles and that they are crystal clear on their roles and responsibilities.  Bear in mind that an employee with the absence of a clear set of objectives and proper training will diminish that person’s overall effectiveness. Don’t let there be a cog in the wheel.  Set your employees up for success and ensure your company runs like a well-oiled machine.

In summary, ensure that you have a clear plan for 2019, over communicate the plan and assess your teammates to make sure they have the direction needed to succeed.  At Planet Beach, we are already establishing new goals to ensure company growth in 2019.  The company goals will drive our team to set deadlines and work collaboratively to ensure that we continue to change the way the world rejuvenates in every viable community across the globe. I’ll leave you with the words of Nelson Mandela.

“Action without vision is only passing time. Vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world.”

HydroGo Essential Greens

I don’t think anyone is a stranger to the benefits of greens for health. We start hearing it from the time we’re children that we need to eat our greens. For every reason from vitamins and bio nutrients and all the good fiber they add to your diet to the ability of greens to help in balancing pH which is vitally important to your health, and greens do it like nothing else on the planet! Greens also help with daily detoxification. Our bodies are meant to constantly detoxify. We come in contact with toxic junk all the time which negatively effects our health. It puts a load on our liver and kidneys. Eating greens daily plays an important role in the detoxification process by clearing the digestive tract, eliminating toxins and cleansing the organs. While we all know the importance of eating greens, almost none of us get enough. And no, despite the romaine lettuce scare, iceberg lettuce is still not a substitute nor a nutritional green.  Mixes of field greens and bitter tasting greens are the ones that make a difference, and a lot of people flat out don’t enjoy eating them, so they won’t.

I know this may sound a bit extreme, but I’d rather eat ANYTHING else. If something green even touches the rest of my food, it makes me cringe. For as long as I can remember, I’ve tried and tried different ways to consume greens, but I can’t mask the awful taste. I just can’t go through with it! And by the time I add a gallon of ranch or wrap it in a pound of bacon, it sort of defeats the purpose anyway, right? I envy the people around me eating fresh salads and the crisp, crunchy sound it makes when they take a bite. I even envy watching my boss eat peas from a can during our meetings when we’re too busy for lunch! (It’s true, Steve! It’s like Popeye and his spinach!) Not to mention the fact that such a large amount of greens are necessary for good health, and people simply aren’t willing to put forth the effort. It’s a hassle to get it in your diet each day. If you’re busy and on the go, it’s hard to make 1 – 2 huge salads a day! So, while many of us know the importance, most of us still don’t meet our needs.

At Planet Beach we are providing a huge variety (in effective doses) of the most important greens in an easy to use stick pack! The vitamins and nutrients found in Planet Beach’s Essential Greens help regulate immune function and protects cells from damaging free radicals. The wide range of greens in Essential Greens packets provide necessary nutrients to the body that help convert food into energy and serve as a convenient way to consume a variety of nutrients in a single serving while allowing the body to focus on cleansing. People who eat greens and drink things like wheat grass say they’re the best tasting greens they’ve ever had. But, people like me don’t like the fact that they still taste like greens. However, they can be mixed with our amazing Indulge protein which is an already potent nutritional product, and you can’t taste it at all! Together they’re a great combo to start your day! You can also mix the Essential Greens with the Heart Healthy Essentials or our Antioxidant Essentials for a massive punch of nutrition and no green taste!

If you’re still not convinced, let me break it down for you. The HydroGo Essential Greens improves the digestive system, reduces inflammation, cleanses bowels and intestines, builds-up the immune system, manages weight, absorbs residual toxins along the intestinal walls, and regulates the pH of the body. So, go to your nearest Planet Beach Spray and Spa location and get yours now, and sip pH balancing nutrients sourced responsibly from the best farms. This splash of greens gathers up body-cleansing chlorophyll and other health-loving gifts that will last you a lifetime, literally!

Heart Healthy Essentials

Planet Beach’s new essential powders deliver huge benefits in easy-to-use power packs. Today we’re going to dive into the Heart Healthy Essentials. Heart Healthy Essentials supports the strength and livelihood of the cardiovascular system with an impressive suite of all-natural essential heart-healthy nutrients! Convenient, natural citrus flavored, on-the-go packets make it easy to give your body the support vital to a healthy heart and long life!

One of the keys to proper sports nutrition in both being able to prepare to exercise and also in healthy, meaningful recovery is Nitric Oxide. And before you ask, not to be confused with Nitrous Oxide, the laughing gas! They’re two completely different things. Nitric Oxide is a relatively new discovery in health. The transmitter function was just discovered and awarded in 1998. Over the last 20 years there has been more than 60 thousand studies published on the benefits to health by Nitric Oxide! It helps memory and behavior, assists the immune system in suppressing bacteria and tumor growth, reduces blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, reduces inflammation, improves sleep, improves sense recognition – smell and taste, increases physical endurance and strength (so you can work out harder and recover faster), assists in digestion, and even acts as a natural Viagra. That’s right… Viagra. It increases blood flow which is essentially what Viagra does, and it’s not gender discriminatory, so ladies, you can give it a try too!

Specifically, for heart health Nitric Oxide provides protection against onset and progression of Cardiovascular Disease by regulating blood pressure, regulating vascular tone, inhibiting platelet aggregation, and inhibiting smooth muscle proliferation. This may seem like just a lot of big words that don’t really resonate for everyone, but the main point to remember here is that reduced Nitric Oxide in your system is a central risk factor that is common to ALL types of Cardiovascular Disease. Planet Beach’s Heart Healthy Essentials stick pack was created to be the most potent Nitric Oxide formulation out there!

Our Heart Healthy Essentials contains a cardio blend of L-Arginine, L-Citrulline and CoQ10. The L-Arginine and L-Citrulline create the Nitric Oxide that’s so beneficial for circulation, exercise and recovery, and the CoQ10 is valuable specifically for any smooth muscles. So, that’s your heart muscle and the muscle lining all of your vessels.
