How To Tan

 Before:

  • Before tanning exfoliating is necessary to remove any excess dead skin cells so you have fresh, clean skin to tan.
  • Once you go to the Sun Tan City salon of your choice, our staff will assist you with any tanning needs.
  • Discuss with your Tanning Consultant the importance of the following:
    • Eyewear - Prevents damage to the eyes and must be FDA approved.
    • Recommended Tan Times - By gauging your skin type this will help develop a good tan and help prevent the reddening effect caused from overexposure.
    • Lotion -  using an accelerating lotion will help you tan faster and keep your tan longer. Your tanning consultant can help you find the best lotion for your skin!
  • When you’re ready to tan your tanning consultant will take you to your room and show you how to work the equipment.
    • You will then have 5 minutes to put your lotion on and get ready to tan.
  • When you are in the room make sure to do the following:
    • Prepare the skin with the products for your skin type
    • Put your protective eyewear on

During:

  • Once you’re ready, simply push the start button and relax, or if you prefer, the bed will automatically start after 5 minutes.   
  • Lower the top (or lid) and you are ready to go!
  • While tanning make sure to always keep your protective eyewear on.

After:

  • Make sure before exiting the tanning bed that you raise the top and remove your protective eyewear.
  • Once you are ready to leave make sure you have gathered all of your belongings and exit the room.
  • Make sure that you apply your tan extender at least two times a day every day to keep your healthy tanning glow.
