With summer approaching fast, we all have one thing on our mind: WE WANT SUN!! The sun is such a beautiful gift that does so well for the mind and the body. We all love that the seasonal "sadness" that comes with the wintertime leaves just as fast as the sun appears, and something that we definitely all agree on is the competition to see who can become the most TAN!! Here at Allure Spa, we wish to help promote the growth and the health of your mind, body and spirit. Below are some facts about the sun that you will surely benefit from as the summer months are approaching!
The GOOD things the sun has to offer:
*Helps synthesize Vitamin D, which plays a role in the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the intestine.
*Helps regulate sleep cycle. When light hits the eyes and travels back through the optic nerve, the brain decreases the production of melatonin, which is a chemical the brain secretes to help you sleep.
*Helps increase the production of serotonin, which is a chemical the brain and body uses to regulate mood, appetite, and sleep.
The BAD the sun has to offer:
*Overexposure to the sun can cause harmful burns to the skin, and can increase the risk of skin cancer. Even a tan caused by the sun is a sign of damage to the pigment cells of the skin, and the damage is cumulative: the more tans or burns you get, the more damage is done.
*Overexposure can lead to premature wrinkling, causing you to appear older that you may really be.
*Sun exposure to the eyes can increase the risk of cataracts, which are the leading cause of blindness.
Allure spa is praying for your health and wellness in these upcoming summer months, but that does not mean that we do not want you to look and feel the most beautiful that you can be. We want to share with you some new information that you may not have heard yet, that can help solve all of your sun-problems while helping you be the best YOU you can be!
Here at Allure, we have a hidden gem, and this is our spray tan room! Not many people know that we offer spray tans here, but those that do LOVE them and are faithful guests. Those that leave the spray tan room leave GLOWING on the inside, but especially on the outside!
