Teeth Whitening has become one of the most requested cosmetic treatments, and for good reason. Studies have shown that a beaming white smile not only makes you more attractive, it also helps you appear more intelligent, successful, and friendly! Everyone feels better when they have great looking white teeth.

Without question, we all WANT a nice white smile. Information (and misinformation) abounds, leaving one wondering things like:

• “Should I whiten my teeth at home or have them professionally whitened?”

• “How does teeth whitening work?”

• “Is it safe?”

• “How long does it last?”

• “Which products are best for me?”

Malibu Tan would like to put these questions to rest with a Q and A below.

Q- How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
To get really good results with teeth whitening, you’ll need either a home whitening kit that really works or you’ll have to get your teeth professionally whitened, so we’re only going to give you the retail cost for high quality products and services. A good home whitening kit will usually have an MSRP of over $100. Laser teeth whitening by a non-dental professional will typically cost from $100-$300 and to have your teeth whitened at the dentist usually costs from $250 to $600 or more, depending on how much is included in the package. If you are a smart shopper, you can find special offers and deals to help lower the cost.

Q – Does teeth whitening work?
Yes, teeth whitening does work on natural teeth that have experienced some surface and/or subsurface stains from eating, drinking or smoking things that leave stains on or in the tooth enamel. Most of our customers have been very pleased with their results from our home whitening products as well as our products for professional use.

Q – How long does teeth whitening last?
Average results for peroxide-based whitening gels last 6 months to 1 year and this also depends entirely upon your own tooth enamel and on your habits.

Q – Does it hurt?
Most people experience absolutely no sensitivity with Beaming White products. Only a handful of the thousands of people that used our Deluxe Home Whitening Kit (with 36% carbamide peroxide gel) have reported any tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. And less than 5% reported tooth sensitivity or gum irritation from our Advanced Kit – which is for professional use only and contains 16% hydrogen peroxide gel.

Less than 1% of our customers reported experiencing an allergic type of reaction to our peroxide-based whiten

ing gel. An allergic reaction can be painful and even cause blisters. This risk is included in the warnings on all our of products with peroxide-based gels. If this happens to you, discontinue use immediately and, if desired, see your dentist or physician about methods to help the skin heal faster. We recommend applying pure vitamin e oil to the irritated parts of the mouth.

People with gum disease might experience irritation because their gum tissues are not healthy. Only use whitening products if your gums don’t bleed when you floss.

People with tiny crack

s in their tooth enamel, any stage of dental carries, or very thin or porous enamel might experience tooth sensitivity from peroxide-based whitening gels. If this happens to you, discontinue use and see your dentist if desired. Minerals Enamel Booster, as well as the remineralizing and desensitizing gel that comes in some of our kits, does help with tooth sensitivity.

Q – How Many Shades Whiter?
This depends entirely on the person. It is a natural whitening that will get you to your natural tooth color. Average results are 4-8 shades.

Q- How long does it take?
The Beaming White System is one to three applications

of 10-15 minutes each, so it’s less than an hour to a Beaming White smile! Our home whitening kits deliver professional results at home, but it just takes longer. You will need to use the kit once or twice a day, without skipping, for up to 10 days. You leave the gel on the teeth for at least 30 minutes with each application. The longer you go, the better the results! Be sure to finish any whitening treatment with an application of Minerals Enamel Booster to seal in results and strengthen tooth enamel.

Malibu Tan Company wants to prepare you to come out of the spray tanning booth looking your best.  Here are our top 10 tips.

1. Avoid using deodorant before your spray tan appointment.  It will provide a barrier to the spray tan’s absorption.

2. Don’t apply moisturizer prior to having a spray tan as it will interrupt the absorption of the spray tan.

3. Always exfoliate and shave or wax at least 24 hours prior to a spray tan appointment.  Shaving after a spray tan will remove the tan.

4. Try not to get wet for 1–2 hours after a spray tan. If it is raining the day of your appointment, make sure you bring a large enough umbrella to cover you.

5. When possible, try to wear dark, loose clothing to and from a spray tan appointment to avoid staining lighter-colored clothes.

6. Try to avoid activities that will cause excessive perspiring for 12 hours after a spray tan, even if you are able to wash your tan off after a couple of hours.

7. Avoid activities that naturally exfoliate the skin — such as baths and chlorinated pool swimming — for at least 12 hours after your spray tan.

8. Use a tan extender like Hempz to prolong your tan.

9. When you do shower, avoid using soap and shower only with warm (not hot) water to wash off the excess tan color.

To give the DHA enough time to fully set, it is recommended to wait a minimum of 4 hours after a sunless spray tanning session or 8 hours for optimal results. Showering sooner may diminish the intensity of the tan. If you tan using an Instant Cosmetic Bronzer, the Instant Cosmetic Color will wash off in the shower, but the color produced by the DHA will remain.

10. Keep your skin as moisturized as possible after your spray tan to increase the longevity of the tan and help you to avoid the tan wearing off in patches due to dry skin.

A Sunless Spray Tan can last up to 7 days depending on the formulation you choose and the condition of your skin.
