Question 1

Is it safe to tan indoors?

Accepted Answer

There are a few things that can be considered safe. There are risks from exposure to the sun or a sunbed, as written on our equipment and consent form. Our goal is to teach the proper tanning methods to help you get a cosmetic tan while minimizing your risk of over exposure.

Question 2

Does tanning treat acne or psoriasis?

Accepted Answer

If you are tanning for something different than cosmetic reasons, you should contact your doctor. Our mission is to give you a gorgeous tan and help you prevent sunburn.

Question 3

How many sessions are needed to get a base tan?

Accepted Answer

It usually takes 8-10 sessions to achieve a base tan. To maintain, tan 1-2 times a week.

Question 4

How often can I tan?

Accepted Answer

We recommend tanning every other day. You can tan every day with 24 hours between each session to give your skin time to process the tan.

Question 5

Why do I need to wear goggles if I cover my face with a towel?

Accepted Answer

A towel only acts as a filter.  It is required to wear FDA-approved goggles.  Not wearing goggles can result in permanent eye damage.  Eyelids are not solid enough to shield out UV light.

Question 6

Why won't the white spot on my tailbone tan?

Accepted Answer

When tanning, make sure to allow air to get to your back. When lying entirely still some areas do not get oxygen and, as a result, will not tan. These areas are generally on pressure points.

Question 7

Why do my lips get chapped when I tan?

Accepted Answer

Lips do not produce melanin and can overexpose quickly.  Protect your lips by applying a lip balm with SPF in it.

Question 8

Is it OK to tan if I am taking prescription medications?

Accepted Answer

Some medications can increase your sensitivity to UV light.  Please consult with your doctor before tanning.

Question 9

Should I shower before or after tanning?

Accepted Answer

Clean skin tans are the most beneficial.  We recommend showering before tanning, but it is not required.  Take off all make-up or perfume/cologne (with baby wipes supplied in rooms) before tanning, as they may cause sensitivity to UV light.  If you want to shower after tanning, wait at least 2 to 3 hours.  This gives the lotion time to activate and develop.

Question 10

What should I wear when tanning?

Accepted Answer

Remove all jewelry, watches, or anything metal before your tanning session.  You may tan in swimwear, undergarments, or natural.  Cover areas that have not been exposed to the sun or UV light for a portion of your session.

Question 11

Can I use an outdoor tanning lotion?

Accepted Answer

No.  The ingredients in outdoor lotions will ruin the acrylics.  Please ask an employee for help choosing the perfect lotion for you.

Question 12

Why is my skin dry?

Accepted Answer

Tanning does dry your skin.  It is essential to keep your skin moisturized while tanning.  Moisturized skin absorbs UV light, and dry skin deflects the UV light.  We sell a variety of indoor tanning lotions and moisturizers to help you achieve your tanning goals.

Question 13

Can indoor tanning help me achieve a tan if my skin is sensitive to sunlight?

Accepted Answer

Indoor tanning beds simulate the sun.  If you cannot tan outdoors, it is unlikely that an indoor UV bed will tan you.  Please visit us for a free skin type analysis to determine your skin's tanning potential.

The Golden Rule of Smart Tanning is: Don't EVER overexpose.
