Tanning Tips

• Wear protective eyewear at all times.  The eyelid is too thin to protect the eye from UV penetration.

• Sunburn is NOT the first step in acquiring a tan and should be avoided.  Tan smart.

• Monitor results by placing a sticker in the same spot each time you tan.

• You may wish to remove contacts prior to tanning as they may dry out.

• For best results, your skin should be clean when tanning.  Make-up will act as a sunscreen, and perfumes and colognes may cause irritation. 

• To maximize results, treat yourself to a quality indoor tanning lotion and an upgrade bed (Level 2 or Level 3).

• Do not use outdoor lotions/oils for indoor tanning as they will damage the bed's acrylic, and will hinder tanning results if they contain sunscreen.

• Depending on the contour of your face, you may wish to turn your head during your session - tanning half the time on one side and half the time on the other side.

• You may tan in your bathing suit, undergarments or nothing at all, depending on your preference.  When tanning nude, expose sensitive gradually - use a towel as cover-up for part of the session.

• MEDICATIONS may increase your sensitivity to UV light - always consult your doctor before tanning if you are on medication or have any health problems.

• You may wish to cover your hair during your session as tanning may have a drying effect.

• Pregnant women may want to avoid tanning due to the heat.

• Mover around slightly during your session and/or spend part of your session on your stomach and/or use the stand-up booth to avoid white "pressure" spots on your shoulders and buttocks.

• To prevent white lines beneath your buttocks, while lying down life your hips and pull your buttocks up.

• Some people may get a slight reaction/itching sensation after their first few sessions.  This is usually just a minor heat rash.  Once the irritation disappears, in a few days, you may resume tanning.
