FAQ

 

How long does it take to develop a tan?                          This depends on your skin type, the lotion you use and your current skin color. In general the average person can develop a base tan in 10-15                          sessions in standard our beds. On your first visit we will determine a schedule for you to follow, usually starting off with just a few minutes your                          first session and gradually working up to a full 20 minute session. It is very important not to overexpose your skin to the sun! Plan on 30 - 45                          days to build a tan.

How often should I tan?                          You should wait a very minimum of 24 hours before your next session. We recommend you follow a 3 tan per week schedule when building                          your base tan. Continue this shedule for 3 to 4 weeks. After you have developed your base, you can reduce you schedule to once or twice a                          week depending on the tan you desire and the equipment your using.

What do I wear when tanning?                          What ever you want! Once you enter your private tanning room it’s your choice. Some people wear their under garments, others bring swim                          suits, and many prefer to tan in the buff. (So they say) REMEMBER if you choose to tan without undergarments, those areas of skin normally                          covered will be more sensitive to the sun. Don't allow those areas to get full exposure when you start building your tan.

Do tanning accelerators / intensifiers really work?                          Lotions created for Indoor Tanning help you tan faster, replace and maintain moisture. Many help reduce and combat the signs of aging (e.g.                          appearance of fine line and wrinkles.) By supplying your skin with needed vitamins, minerals, amino acids and moisture these lotions can help you                          tan better than using no lotion at all. By using lotions you can tan faster in less sessions with less UV exposure = smarter tanning!

Do I have to wear those goggles?                          Yes!!! Sunlight can damage your eyes producing SEVERE BURNING and possible long term damage. The skin that makes up your eyelids is                          very thin, UV can penetrate. So wear the goggles! If you are worried about the “raccoon eye” effect, use a small amount of self tanner around                          your eyes to blend your tan.

Other helpful advice:                          When tanning indoor or out, moisture is lost from the skin. Use a good moisturizer after tanning, showers  to keep a health glowin tone.                           Choose a good quality lotion when tanning. Exposure to UVA can cause premature skin aging and wrinkling. A high quality tanning lotion                           can help prevent and reduce these effects. It’s well worth the money! Remember, like most fun things in life, moderation is the key. Talk                           with your salon owner about tanning, take care of your skin, and take a break every now and then.
