Indoor Tanning Tips

Whether you tan indoors or outdoors, the process is the same. Ultraviolet rays stimulate skin cells to produce melanin, the pigment that makes your skin tan.

There are two types of ultraviolet light rays – UVA and UVB. Different indoor tanning units use different combinations of these two tanning rays, Whatever the combination, your exposure times are regulated by the federal government to minimize your risk of sunburn or overexposure.

☼ Smart tanning involves following the exposure schedule designed for your skin type.

By controlling the type and amount of UV light you receive in our salon, there's no doubt that this is the best, smartest place to acquire a tan and avoiding sunburn. But there are some precautions you should take to minimize your enjoyment of your tanning visits,

☼ Protect you eyes.

Simply closing them or wearing outdoor sunglasses while you tan is not adequate protection against possible long-term eye injury. Wearing FDA-compliant eye protection available in this salon can eliminate that risk.

☼ Protect your lips.

They do not produce melanin and will burn easily unless you protect them with lip balms or sunscreen.

☼ If your plan to tan in the nude.

Cover previously unexposed areas for the majority of your tanning sessions for the first few visits. Gradually increase exposure to these areas, giving the skin time to build melanin production.

☼ If you are taking medications, please let your salon attendant know. Some medications can cause reactions with UV light, so it is important to tell us.

☼ Moisturize your skin.

The heat and light from tanning sessions can dry your skin. Because moist skin tans best, we recommend you moisturize before and after each tanning session to get the most out of each visit. A tan extender will do a great job for you, allowing you to enjoy your tan longer.
