Fun in the sun at Universal Studios

This weekend me and one of my friends went to Universal Studios in Orlando!! It was actually my first time there and all I can say is I had an absolute blast!! I'm sure most you of have been there before but Universal is composed of two different parks that have totally different feels to both of them. We got fast passes for both of the parks which I totally recommend to everyone that goes. They only cost about 30dollars for both parks and allow you to jump all the lines. It is sooo nice (especially when its HOT out like it was on Friday) to be able to go right to the front of all the lines. I think the most time we waited was fifteen minutes or less!Islands of Adventure is the first park we visited. We rode pretty much every single ride in under 3 hours!! All of the rides are so much fun! Each ride has it's own theme and they do an amazing job of decorating everything to make it seem as real as possible. The Jurassic Park ride is a water ride where you are pretending to be on a tour boat that "accidentally" goes off course into the dangerous T Rex holding area. You are floating through a jungle maze where you are confronted with all kinds of dinosaurs (that look totally real!) that actually come right up to your face! All of the sudden....a big T Rex is right in front of you!! It looks like your boat is going to go straight into his mouth...and then you drop down a huge waterfall!! After we rode all of the rides..we had to decide where to eat for lunch. They have soo many restaurants to choose from including the Nascar Cafe, the Hard Rock Cafe, the Bob Marley Bar, and many many more. We of course had to eat at my favorite place in the entire world....Margaritaville!!!!! Since I was a little girl I have been a huge "parrot head". The restaurant is sooo cool. It has planes, sails, volcanoes, and everything Jimmy Buffett!!! I would definitely recommend the crab cake sandwich and of course the Cheeseburger in Paradise!!!! Don't forget the margaritas!! After lunch we moved on from Islands of Adventure to Universal. Universal has more 3-D, 4-D, and virtual rides and movies, which I absolutely loved! My favorite one was the Simpsons ride. I am still completely amazed on how they make these rides feel so real when you actually aren't moving much at all. Anyways, all in all our trip to Universal Studios was so much fun and I cannot wait to go back again! :) <3 Nicole

Tan Indoors and Stay Cool!

Heat advisory issued for Saturday afternoon! http://tiny.cc/ZPhwc Stay cool and tan indoors at Darque Immersion Tanning this weekend. Open til 8pm

Streak free

Prism is a natural streak free bronzer that allows your skin to further darken after UV exposure for a smooth, long lasting, healthier looking tan. It captures the radiance of the sun for the darkest, smoothest tan imaginable. Prism utilizes natural streak free bronzers and a oxygen conversion system to give you a subtle sun kissed look. I personally love this product now that I'm tanning outdoors aswell. Having more time for some fun in the sun I don't need such a heavy bronzer and Prism works! Prism is available at both Darque Immersion locations.

It’s Summer Time and the Sun is HOTT!

Whew it’s hot outside!! We all know Florida summer months are hot but filled with fun outdoor activates…whether it be St.Pete beaches, BBQ’s, parks, etc. Wearing your SPF is key to protecting your skin and keeping it healthy! Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before going outdoors. Even water-resistant sunscreens should be reapplied often, about every two hours or after swimming, drying off or perspiring. Sunscreen should be applied generously and evenly so as not to miss any areas of sun-exposed skin. It should be kept out of the eyes, and UV light-blocking sunglasses should be worn.

Sunscreens work by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering the sun's rays on the skin. They are available in many forms, including ointments, creams, gels, lotions, sprays, and wax sticks. All are labeled with SPF numbers. The higher the SPF, the greater the protection from sunburn caused mostly by UVB rays, but this does not increase the length of time for sun exposure. Broad-spectrum sunscreens protect against both UVA and UVB rays. They do a better job of protecting skin from other effects of the sun including photo damage, photo dermatitis, and rashes from the sun.
So before you step out of your house for a day of Fun in the Sun remember to put on your SPF and don’t forget to reapply!

Whats a pretty face without a gorgeous smile?

We all know that having beautiful white teeth is always in. Whats a pretty face without a gorgeous smile? Well, now we are lucky enough to kill 2 beauty birds with 1 stone. Whitening your teeth while you tan! Here at Darque Immersion we carry Hollywood Whites. This is an easy to use, professional strength, teeth whitening system. The peroxide gel is blended to the perfect thickness to stay in place. And since you only apply the gel to the visible surface of your teeth, sensitivity problems are drastically reduced. The Hollywood whites also come with a mouthpiece. This mouthpiece comes with a unique "bite-strip" and is designed to fit the natural contour of your mouth. You simply insert the mouthpiece and it will fully expose the upper and lower teeth regardless of over or underbite. It is as easy as 1-2-3! Head to either Darque Immersion salon to Tan and Whiten today!

Vitamin D and Tanning

Tanning beds and Vitamin D go hand in hand, just like the sun and vitamin D. Humans make an estimated 90% of their Vitamin D from sun exposure to the skin, with UVB in sunlight triggering natural Vitamin D production. In effect, the tanning bed gives you the same emission as the sun but with a controlled level of UV and exposure, and thus less harmful, giving you the full benefit of Vitamin D. It is also interesting to note that the sun's rays, and thus UV, produce more serotonin, the mood-lifting chemical in the brain. So for a healthy body and a healthy feeling, come and soak up some rays at Darque Immersion Tanning!

Fun FACT:
Indoor tanning was invented in Europe in light-deprived northern European countries to help people realize the benefits related to regular UV exposure. It was a therapeutic exercise to help elevate Vitamin D levels.
