Most people will see a skin color change after the first few sessions. Normally, you will have a good base tan in 6-10 sessions, Then one or two sessions a week thereafter will maintain your tan year round. It's important to tan regularly. Allowing too much time between visits will cause your tan to fade.
Exfoliate, Hydrate, Moisturize
Once you have your perfect base tan, it’s important to take care of your skin to prolong the life of your tan. We recommend exfoliating once or twice a week, hydrating from the inside out by drinking plenty of water, and moisturizing daily. Regularly exfoliating will help to prevent your tan from becoming patchy and keep your skin looking smooth and healthy. Staying hydrated will also help keep your skin looking its best and will prevent your tan from fading too quickly. Last, but not least, don’t forget to moisturize! Moisturizing will keep your skin hydrated and looking glowing all season long.
The FDA requires 24 hours between UV tanning sessions. Our recommendation is every 2 days. Everyday tanning is not encouraged because of health risks. If we feel that your are tanning excessively, we reserve the right to discontinue your access.
You must be 17 years of age or older to use UV tanning beds. A parent or guardian must sign a consent form to be updated annually for any minors wishing to tan.
There are several reasons. Studies show that your skin does not naturally start tanning until 7 minutes of exposure. With specially formulated lotions, this time is reduced to 30 seconds, making the most of your session. UV exposure can be dehydrating to the skin. Indoor tanning lotions will help to replenish any moisture that has been depleted during the tanning session, thereby improving your results, and helping your skin to remain youthful looking. Not only will you get a darker tan, you will tan quicker, and it will last longer. In addition, indoor tanning lotions contain specific ingredients that promote tanning and melanin synthesis.
Not only can they be damaging to the acrylics, they can also cause a film to build up on them. This actually inhibits the tanning process, rather than acting as an amplifying agent. There are many excellent indoor tanning products for that purpose. Ask our tanning professional for recommendations as we have a wide variety of options available.
Purchasing products online or through an unauthorized dealer is actually DANGEROUS!
Independent lab tests have shown that products purchased through unauthorized dealers contain enough bacteria to make the user sick enough for medical attention.
These products are potentially stolen, adulterated, contaminated, inferior, counterfeit, harmful, unsafe, and tampered with. Protect yourself by purchasing only from a professional salon.
For anyone taking photosensitizing medication, it is not recommended to tan outdoors or indoors. If you aren’t sure, ask your doctor, or ask our tanning consultant to see a list of medications, which can greatly increase the risk of overexposure.
A partial list, which is by no means all inclusive, appears below.
Many common medications and even ingredients in food, shampoos & soaps can cause photo sensitivity which may lead to overexposure. If you are taking prescription medications please check with your physician regarding possible photo sensitivity. Perfumes and colognes containing Furocoumarins, compound from natural products such as plants and fruits, can cause your skin to become highly sensitive to UV light. Food and fruits that contain photosensitizing agents: celery, carrots, lime, coriander, parsley, fennel, dill, buttercup, mustard and fig.
Keep in mind that not everyone will experience a photosensitive reaction. Also, someone who experiences a photosensitive reaction once will NOT necessarily experience it again or every time.
Medications will NOT cause the same degree of skin reaction in all individuals.
There are no studies that provide conclusive evidence that tanning beds directly harm your baby. However, most health care providers advise against any activity that might raise your body temperature, such as tanning beds. We ALWAYS recommend consulting your doctor before tanning during pregnancy.
A 2015 survey commissioned by GrassrootsHealth found that 99 percent of dermatologists believe that UV is therapeutic in treating cosmetic skin conditions, 88 percent recommend UV treatment or use their own sunbeds to treat client's cosmetic skin conditions and nearly 30 percent of dermatologists refer clients to tanning salons as an inexpensive means of self-treatment. In fact, many dermatology offices use higher-intensity sunbeds themselves to treat cosmetic and non-lethal skin conditions like psoriasis
Vitamin D production takes place when we expose our skin to ultraviolet-B (UVB) emitted in sunlight and by the vast majority of sunbeds used in indoor tanning salons. While the North American indoor tanning industry conducts indoor tanning as a cosmetic service and acknowledges that you may not need to get a tan to produce vitamin D, an undeniable physiological side effect of this service is that indoor tanning clients manufacture vitamin D as a result of indoor tanning sessions. Even though vitamin D production is triggered by UVB exposure, it's important to remember that natural sunlight is mostly UVA – just like most sunbeds. The UV portion of mid-day summer sunlight is made up of about 95% UVA light and 5% UVB light. The majority of tanning lamps in sunbeds emit essentially the same mixture, but with higher intensity, usually 2-3 times more intense.
