Hello, July! 

If June felt like it flew by… you’re not alone.

July has officially arrived, bringing sunshine, vacations, pool days, camping trips, county fairs, cookouts, and one of the biggest celebrations our country has ever seen. This year marks America’s 250th birthday, making Independence Day feel just a little more special. Whether you’re watching fireworks with family, heading to the lake, relaxing by the pool, or exploring everything Western Pennsylvania has to offer, we hope your month is full of sunshine and great memories.

Speaking of Western PA… if you’ve lived here long enough, you know our weather likes to keep us guessing. One day it’s 72° and gorgeous, the next it’s 91° with enough humidity to swim through the air. We can’t control the forecast, but we can help you keep your glow looking its best no matter what Mother Nature decides.

Sun Safety Doesn’t Mean Missing the Fun

We love a beautiful tan just as much as you do—but we love healthy skin even more.

If you’re spending time outdoors this month:

• Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply it regularly.
• Stay hydrated (your skin will thank you!).
• Wear sunglasses and seek shade when you need a break from the sun.
• Don’t forget your lips—they need SPF too!

Indoor tanning can be a great way to build a gradual base tan before spending time outside, but remember that a base tan is not a replacement for sunscreen. Think of it as one part of your summer routine—not your only protection.

Pool Days & Spray Tans

Planning on swimming this weekend?

Just a friendly reminder that chlorine, salt water, lakes, rivers, and even long hours soaking in the pool can cause your spray tan to fade faster than normal. It doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your vacation—it just means your tan may need a little extra TLC afterward.

To help your spray tan last as long as possible:

 Moisturize every day.
 Pat your skin dry instead of rubbing with a towel.
 Avoid long, hot showers whenever you can.
 Expect a little faster fading after swimming—it’s completely normal!

The good news? Touch-ups are always an option when you get back.

Here’s to July

Whether you’re celebrating the Fourth, taking a vacation, enjoying concerts in the park, visiting local festivals, or simply soaking up a warm evening on the porch, we hope you take time to enjoy everything summer has to offer.

From all of us at TruTan, have a safe, happy, and sunshine-filled July. We can’t wait to help you keep glowing all month long!
