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 by your skin type and avoiding sunburn by tanning gradually.
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. But there are some precautions you should take to maximize your enjoyment of your tanning visits:
Protect your eyes
Simply closing them or wearing outdoor sunglasses while you tan is not adequate protection against possible long-term eye injury. Wearing the 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 you are taking any medications, please let your salon attendant know. Some medications can cause reactions with UV light, so it is important that you 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.
If you plan to tan in the nude, cover previously unexposed areas for the majority of your tanning session for the first few visits. Gradually increase exposure to these areas, giving the skin time to build melanin production.
Maximize your results with indoor lotions. Indoor tanning lotions sold in this facility are different from lotions you buy at the store. Today's indoor tanning lotions are bio-engineered to maximize the results of your tanning visit while increasing the quality of your tan. Moist, nourished skin tans best. Indoor tanning lotions are designed to supply your skin with the essential nutrients necessary for a tan. These special ingredients also moisturize your skin to keep it looking young and healthy. There are other advantages to using specialized indoor tanning lotions.
