Every year more than one million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the United States. Despite this fact, hundreds of thousands of people routinely visit tanning salons.

So speaking as a previous TANOREXIC – (years ago ladies, YEARS!!!) I understand how OCD one can become about being tanned like George Hamilton, okay not that tan, but you know what I mean. I always knew it was going to age and wrinkle me, give me sun spots and potentially cancer, but for some reason it didn’t stop me (I was definitely a part of the above ratio).

I know, I know…I was a beauty editors nightmare, but then I wised up and started appreciating my pasty white skin and enhanced it with a nice spray tan or at-home self tanner. Don’t be afraid because some self tanners like completely bare’s Model Tan are FOOL PROOF! And ladies….always wear SPF 30 or higher!

So anyways….now we have mass-panic from all those fake-n-bakers nationwide complaining about the latest 10% tax tan on tanning. Its 10% which is near NOTHING on a $15/20 tanning session that will leave you looking like a piece of leather.

I am by no means finger pointing, but fake and bake with FAKE tan in a bottle, not in a rotisserie.

“G-ST-L”: Gym, Spray-Tan, Laundry….and maybe a facial!

“WOW” is all I have to say!

Last week, Completely Bare spa hosted DJ Pauly D and Mike the “Situation” from MTV’s Jersey Shore for an Access Hollywood segment and OMG we had the BEST TIME EVER! These guys were a blast to be around while we pampered them with laser hair removal (because obviously they are hair-free to show off those muscles!), completely bare BBL pulse light facials for sun damage (too many times in the tanning salon beds guys – BOOO!!), and last but not least the “ST” as in our completely bare sculpted spray tan (DEF more safe than those UV rays :-)

This was the first time that both Mike and Pauly D were ever in a spa receiving these treatments so they were stoked to take advantage of relaxing while “working”.

The Situation and DJ Pauly D were a blast to be around and we thank them, MTV and Access Hollywood for such a fun day just hanging out at completely bare! (Hopefully this won’t be the last time we’re seeing them!!)

Here are some pictures to share with everyone!

Filming and Spraying Tanning!!!! Looking good guys ;)

DJ Pauly D, me and Mike “The Situation” right after they received their sculpted spray tan…we made them wear the plastic shorts so the tanner wouldn’t stain their “fresh to death” outfits

I asked one of my CB girls, Teresa, to share her experience with spray tanning and why she goes with The Sculpted Tan at Completely Bare. This is what she wrote back and I wanted to share it with you guys:

I used to be the most die hard “fake and baker” there was. I loved the tanning booth, and no amount of warnings would keep us apart. It was real and it was deep. The breakup was hard. I cried. I pleaded. I begged. Pale and pasty is not cute, so the only thing to do was to try our spray tanning at Completely Bare. I have to say, I was impressed. I didn’t have to wait a week to build up my tan. I was immediately golden and sun kissed. No longer was I walking the line between Gisele and Umpa Loompa (one thing different about our tan is that there is no orange in it at all). The best way to achieve the perfect tan: schedule your appointment the night before a big event. You can’t shower or sweat for about 12 hours, so come in after work (preferably in your pajamas – we wont judge), go home, relax, and go to bed. After your morning shower, you’ll look like you spent a weekend in St. Barts (which, of course as far as everyone knows, you did). Try it. Trust me. You’re 60 year old future skin will thank you.
