Welcome to Altima
Tan, a great choice for your ultimate tanning and
massage experience.
AKRON, Ohio – Bridget Linton is used to the
spotlight.
Her passion for
Irish dancing has landed her on stages throughout
the U.S., Ireland and Scotland. A high school
cheerleader and homecoming queen, today she’s a
freshman member of the dance team at the University
of Akron while pursuing a major in broadcast
journalism.
She’s also Miss
Ohio Teen USA 2010.
Crowned last
October, Linton tours her state as a goodwill
ambassador, making appearances at schools, speaking
to groups and organizations and working with
charities including D.A.R.E., the Susan G. Komen
Foundation and the Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation.
One of her
platforms during her year-long reign is responsible
tanning and the health benefits gained from moderate
exposure to UV rays.
“Moderate
exposure to ultraviolet rays is the key to tanning
responsibly,” she said. “The danger of a body’s
exposure to UV rays comes when the skin gets burned
and what can result from sunburn. Moderate exposure
for people who can develop a tan is the smartest way
to maximize the benefits of exposure and minimize
risks.”
Linton will
advise people of all ages during her reign to learn
their skin type, find out how much exposure their
skin can accept without burning, protect their skin
with protective lotions and wear safe, protective
eyewear. “Those who find themselves in the sun
regularly and people who utilize the services of a
tanning salon should also check with their
physicians about any photosensitivity issues they
might have regarding prescription medication they’re
taking and exposure,” she said.
She’ll also help
educate Ohioans about the benefits of UV exposure
past simply getting a bronze glow on the outside.
“In the U.S.,
people are suffering from a serious vitamin D
deficiency,” said Tim Freeman who owns Altima Tan
and Massage in Akron. Freeman approached Linton
shortly after she was crowned to help back her
responsible tanning platform. “Research has proven
that UV rays trigger the synthesis of vitamin D and
are responsible for the health benefits of exposure.
While one doesn’t have to develop a tan to produce
vitamin D and everyone should avoid overexposure to
prevent skin burn, which causes skin cancer, in
reality tanning is a great way to stimulate the
body’s production of vitamin D.”
Freeman’s salon,
in business since 2007, sees on average 260 people a
day coming in to tan. He is an ardent supporter of
tanning in moderation and tanning responsibly. He
and each of his five employees strictly follow
critically important tanning guidelines developed by
tanning industry leader ETS Tan, the International
Tanning Association, Suntan Supply and the FDA.
“Salon services
are in higher demand by a wide range of individuals
than ever before,” he said. “As a business owner, I
want to provide the best products and services at
the best prices. But above all, I want to be a
responsible, reputable business. Our top priority is
to ensure that every customer who chooses to come in
follows established tanning guidelines and most
importantly follows recommended frequency and
durations of sessions according to their skin type.”
