    TREADMILL
    September 7, 1822 - New York City, U.S.A.

    A treadmill was completed to grind corn at the New York City Prison employing the labour of 8 to 16 prisoners at a time walking on what looked like a very wide, 5-ft diam. paddle wheel. Prisoners held on to a bar and climbed the paddle boards, like endlessly walking up stairs. On each revolution, a bell rang. This was the first of its kind in the U.S., but it was based on a penal idea that had been previously used successfully in Britain. When production began on 23 Sep 1822, it ground 40 to 50 bushels of corn per day. The project was suggested by Stephen Greelet and Isaac Collins, a manager of the Society for the Prevention of Pauperism, and adopted by the mayor. It was abandoned after a few years trial.

    ENGLAND BATTLE OF BRITAIN
    September 7, 1940 - UK, England

    The battle in the skies over England continues as Germany continues to send large numbers of Bombers laden with bombs targeting Liverpool, North East, North West, Bristol and London, and each night British fighters go out trying to stop the destruction to towns and cities around the country , during last nights raids some 40 + German bombers were downed by British fighter pilots. The Battle of Britain is the name given to efforts by the Luftwaffe during the Summer and Autumn of 1940 to gain air superiority over the RAF's Fighter Command which would have allowed the German planned amphibious and airborne landings in Britain of Operation Sealion to succeed.

Dark or Natural
Article written June 1, 2010

As summer approaches we hear more requests from our clients that they want to receive the darkest possible sunless tan. Even though it's June, this sends shivers down our spines. As technicians, we want to accommodate our customers but know that darker shades or over spraying your client is not the answer.

The first thing we need to do is to take a deep cleansing breath. Remember the goal of a sunless tan is to look pretty and natural. Advise your clients that a darker level of solution may not look natural on certain skin tones.

Understanding How DHA Works:
The primary ingredient in all sunless solutions is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). DHA reacts with the amino acids on the epidermis causing a bronzed color to appear. In other words, DHA adheres to the dead skin cells. As the cells begin to shed so does the DHA attached to it.

All sunless solutions contain a certain percentage of DHA. Professional grade solutions can range anywhere from 5% to 12%. A higher percent of DHA will produce a deeper result. Keep in mind the more DHA concentration in the solution the more the color changes from a golden brown to a red brown.

You cannot apply a deeper color by over-spraying your clients. Skin can only absorb a certain amount of solution in a single session. Over-spraying your clients will only waste your solution. In addition, using too high a percent of DHA on lighter skin will produce an unnatural color and have patchy fading.

Many solutions add a temporary bronzer to their solution. DHA take between 4 to 8 hours to fully develop on the skin. Temporary bronzers allow the technician to see where the solution is being applied and gives the client sees immediate color. The bronzer will wash off during the first shower.

Why Are Sol Potion Solutions Unique:
Our solutions were developed to allow the technician to use as is, or blend any combination of the four levels to personalize a shade for your clients. Many of our salons and spas create their own ?beauty bar of shades. By blending your own shades you can make colors that truly match your client's skin tone making it the most natural looking tan for their skin type. These can be premixed and ready for a client session or prepared at the session.

When you have the flexibility of using the proper colors on your clients, they will love the results and keep coming back for more. This will make you stand out over your competition.
