While your time in a Sun Tan City bed may be the most relaxing part of your day, it’s our most important time of day. We’re dedicated to helping you get a beautiful, bronze glow. And while you may know the basics of healthy tanning, the experts at Sun Tan City want you to maximize your tanning time! Here are a few simple tips and tricks to get the most out of our beds.

Before you tan, make sure to prep your skin. This means having clean, moisturized skin. Moisturized skin will not only feel softer, but will hold a tan better as well. So make sure regular at-home moisturizing is part of your skin-care routine. It’s also a good idea to remove make-up and not wear deodorant or perfume while tanning. Both can interfere with tanning lotion and the UV rays, which can lead to a discolored or uneven tan.

When you tan, be sure to use a tanning lotion. Tanning lotions are designed to help you get a darker, long-lasting tan. And remember, the Tanning Consultants at Sun Tan City are always there to help you find an indoor tanning lotion that will help you get the best tan possible.

While there is no need to flip during your session in any of the beds at Sun Tan City, some people prefer to put their arms over their head to make sure their arms and underarms tan evenly. If this is uncomfortable, try one of Sun Tan City’s Fastest tanning beds, which are designed with a facial tanner, shoulder tanner, and full-body 160-watt reflector lamps that will give you a perfect tan from head to toe.

After you tan, moisturize some more! Tan extenders will keep your post-tan skin moisturized, which will help your tan develop and last longer. Our Tanning Consultants can help you find a tan extender that will keep your skin moist and your tan golden long after your visit.

For best results, you should tan regularly, but not every day. We recommend waiting 36-48 hours between visits so your tan can fully develop, which equates to no more than 2 – 3 times a week. That’s plenty of tanning for building and maintaining your base glow.

Getting the most out of your tan at Sun Tan City is easy. Between our high-quality beds, luxurious tanning lotions, and expert tanning advice from our Tanning consultants, you have all you need to get a beautiful, long-lasting tan. Happy tanning!
