After Sun Aloes

One of the "secrets" to getting and maintaining a great tan is keeping your skin hydrated.

It is vitally important as to the product you use in the sun and our primary tanning formulas, Browning Formula and Browning Formula SPF 5 Creme, are the best to enhance your tan while enjoying the great outdoors.

Even more important is what you do after sun exposure and everyday to keep skin moisturized, healthy and vibrant.  That is the difference between a tan that will fade and "flake" and smooth, silky skin that can keep its golden color for weeks, not days.

With that fact in mind, Maui Island Secret developed our non-parallel after sun aloes years ago, based on the exacting demands of Maui residents who have spent decades on the beautiful beaches, enjoying the tropical sun of the islands and who enjoy a great, deep, dark tan.

Our Burn-to-Brown aloe gel is the ultimate recovery product.  If you get a little too much sun, this is the first step to repairing the damage.  Its pure aloe is derived only from the gel portion of the plant, not the thick, heavy cactus skin which has no medical benefits and unfortunately is what most companies use.  B-to-B also includes menthol, tea tree oil, green tea extract, maui coffee extract.  Excellent, of course, for sunburn, Burn-to-Brown is also great for skin rashes, shaving irritation, kitchen burns, insect bites and jellyfish stings.

Our renown Tan Sealer is the most important product to use to help speed along your tanning process and is paramount for daily use to keep skin hydrated.  Generous amounts of healing aloe and the super anti-oxidant, Green Tea, as well as a touch of Coffee, provide the main benefits to heal and nourish the skin. Also includes sunflower oil, rose hips oil, shea butter, passion flower oil, vitamin E and maui coffee extract to name a few.

Proper use of the product is vitally important.  After sun exposure, you should first take a warm shower to open the pores of the skin and bring the heat in your body to the skin's surface, then pat yourself dry (no vigorous towel drying, please)' followed by smoothing the product slowly and evenly over the skin.  Do not rub it quickly into the skin as that can negate the benefits.  You will see that it will sink into the skin and after about 60seconds if any remains on the surface, then put it gently into the skin.  Neither product will stain clothing.

If you got too much sun, Burn-to-Brown should be used first followed by Tan Sealer.  For daily maintenance, Tan Sealer is the choice.  Word of caution ... Like all real Pure Aloes, Burn-to-Brown is an astringent and although it is nature's best healer, it can dry the skin; always use Tan Sealer after using Burn-to-Brown.

Follow the easy steps above and get ready to enjoy the sun safely and have beautiful youthful skin forever!

The Secret's Origin

In 1999, we started Maui Island Secret with a simple goal in mind ... Help people get a great tan and take care of their skin at the same time.

Those goals aren't mutually exclusive despite how some in the industry and medical field have demonized what is still a rite of summer for millions who enjoy the beach, pool, lake and basking in the sun.  People still like the way a deep, dark, golden tan makes them look and feel.

We are the "tan company". We started with just one product, the "secret" which inspired our name, our famous and incredibly effective Browning Formula.  It is a rich blend of anti-oxidants, moisturizers and tanning enhancers and works wonders in the sun.  Exotic blends of coffee including genuine Kona coffee are among the ingredients that make this product unique.

Coffee not only gives the appearance of some instant color but is also a great anti-oxidant and natural UV screen.  This allows you to enjoy the sun and naturally develop a golden tan.  There is no SPF in our Browning Formula so you should avoid use on sun sensitive areas, but people are amazed at the results.

Also included in the formula is Green Tea, Aloe and other nutrient oils.  Use of our after sun aloes and our SPF 5 Browning Formula Creme insure healthy skin and retention of your tan for weeks.

More to the secret?  Our insistence on the best raw materials, our special blending methods including 4x homogenization, our excellent customer service and a whole lot of Aloha!

We were born on the beaches of Maui, not in a laboratory in New York City.  Our products were developed by local sun lovers that have a combined 200 years experience with resorts and beaches in the Hawaiian Islands and worldwide.

We know you will enjoy the Secret.
