All Sun Bar Associates are Smart Tan Certified which is important for you to know because it means that our "Friendly Neighborhood Sun-Tenders" and Staff all have extensive knowledge of the tanning process. We are 100% dedicated to providing you with the most caring, clean, relaxing, and responsible tanning and massage experience possible.

Regular, responsible and moderate exposure to UV light is important for natural vitamin D production. UVB exposure to the skin naturally initiates the conversion of cholesterol in the skin to vitamin D3. Sunlight is the best  natural source of vitamin D. It has become discovered that Vitamin D has is a major player in developing bone density and fighting everything from cancer to heart disease and depression.

Tans are natural shields against the skin damage the sun’s ultraviolet radiation can cause by BURNING NOT TANNING. In a controlled environment, exposure to ultraviolet rays causes melanin to develop and to migrate to the surface of the skin producing a layer of protection. Tanning is necessary to protect our skin and to prevent the damage that overexposure to the sun can cause.

"Helio Therapy" or exposure to ultraviolet light has been shown to cause the release of endorphins – those "feel-good" brain chemicals. When you are more relaxed, have a less tense mood, and effectively cope with life's stress you can take better care of yourself. It is like an upward spiral. You feel better, so you eat healthier, so you exercise more, and take better care of yourself.

Sunlight has proven to affect over one hundred of the body’s function. Studies have indicated that exposure to light may lower the resting heart rate and blood pressure, lower cholesterol (the body uses cholesterol as the raw material for vitamin D Production), reduce stress which can help the immune system, increase cardiac output, and stimulate the thyroid gland which boosts metabolism.

All in all, it is  about looking good AND feeling good as well!
