What is tanning?
UVB rays stimulate melanocytes in the skin, which produce melanin. The melanin is then oxidized by the UVA rays, turning the skin brown. A fading tan is simply the outer layer of the skin being shed. Thus, to maintain a tan, regular exposure to ultraviolet light is necessary.
Are indoor and outdoor tanning similar?
Yes. Although indoor and outdoor tanning expose you to similar UVA and UVB rays, there is one difference: when you tan indoors, you are doing so in a controlled environment. This means by tanning indoors you are not subject to external factors such as time of day, cloud cover, reflective surfaces and pollution that could negatively affect your tan. It is difficult to compare outdoor tanning time to indoor tanning time as outdoor tanning is done in an uncontrolled environment.
Why lotion?
Do not use outdoor tanning products when you are indoor tanning. We have lotions available that are specifically designed for indoor tanning. These lotions have ingredients which speed up the tanning process. They also contain moisturizers that replace the moisture you lose when you tan. Moist skin tans better. Only gels and lotions are allowed in our salon. Please do not use oils. After-tan moisturizers are recommended to replenish moisture the skin has lost.
Should I get a base tan before my vacation?
Yes! Your best natural defense against overexposure to the sun is a tan. Pre-conditioning your skin gradually indoors enables you to spend more time outdoors. Six to eight sessions should give you a base tan.
How can I tan safely?
To avoid overexposure, discuss your tanning strategy with our staff. Although it is tempting to wish for results after just one session, ensure that your session are not too long, as a burn will damage your skin. It is also important not to use tanning facilities more than once within a 24-hour period as your .true. tan will not show its colours for a 12 to 24-hour period.
Use the eyewear provided or purchase your own, as your eyelids do not protect your eyes.
How long will it take to get a tan and then maintain it?
There are many different skin types. Most people will see a change in colour after the second or third session and will achieve a glowing tan after eight to ten full sessions. One or two sessions per week should maintain that tan.
