When you first start tanning, you should tan for shorter session
times and come in every other day increasing your session time slowly
to insure that you do not burn.

Indoor tanning lotions are specifically formulated to
help your skin attract U.V. light. When you use a lotion you can get 40%
darker, your tan lasts longer, and you look tanner.
|
|
DO NOT USE outdoor tanning lotions or oils in a tanning
bed. You may use sunscreen on any area of your body that you do not wish
to tan such as lips, scars, tattoos, etc.

Once you have achieved the color you want,
usually tanning 1-2 times per week is sufficient to maintain your
color.
|
|
If you tan for too long or too often,
an allergic reaction of redness or itching may result. If this happens, do not tan until
your skin returns to normal. To relieve the discomfort usually an
antihistamine (like Benadryl) works. Once you start tanning again, tan
for less time and space your sessions further apart.
