Bronze yourself.

Friday saw a beautiful high 80 degree day in Seguin, Texas. I was out and about at the baseball game in a tube top and shorts, wearing flip flops and sun glasses. I even got a nice tan. But that weather didn't last long. Temperatures dropped below the freezing line Sunday night, which is far from bathing suit weather. With swim suit season inevitably around the corner, many people are starting to worry about getting that special summer glow and are looking for alternatives to the natural sun.

On my own quest for the bronzing effect, I set out looking at all of the tanning solutions in the Seguin and New Braunfels area. The best bet for your buck: Tan 2000, New Braunfels. With high power bed packages starting at only $19.95/month (with six month commitment), Tan 2000 is definitely the best deal for the dollar.

The experienced tanners recommendation: use a bronzing tanning lotion, such as Swedish Beauty, which will give you an instant golden look. The moisture in all tanning lotions help your skin maintain it's tan, but the bronzing lotions step it up a notch by adding instant color. Lotions run anywhere from $20 to over $100.

If you're UV Ray shy, Tan 2000 also offers Mystic Tan, the revolutionary semi-permanent spray-on tan. First time users beware: while the spray on tan offers great instant results, streaking is common and white spots occur if you come in body contact with yourself at all during the brief spraying period. Also, be ready to hold your breath for just over a minute to avoid choking on the spray-on tan fumes.

Stay tan, Seguin!
