Indoor tanning is controversial; there’s no way around it. If you’re new to tanning and are looking more information, searching the Internet will get you both positive and negative results. We support smart tanning here at Sun Tan City—so we want to be sure that your tanning tips and information come from reliable sources.
Aside from our tanning FAQ section, here are our three favorite sources for accurate, honest tanning info:
Tanning Truth—A fair and balanced look at both the pros and cons of indoor tanning, supported by scientific studies and other qualified resources.
UV Foundation—A research group committed to helping people understand the effects of using ultraviolet light.
The Indoor Tanning Association (ITA)—A group of indoor tanning supporters that promote sunburn protection and your right to enjoy responsible sun tanning.

What makes the VersaSpa sunless tanning bed so special? Everyone knows sunless tanning products are available everywhere, and are relatively inexpensive. So why should you invest in a VersaSpa session? The answer is quality of product, quality of experience and quality of results.
As we explore in-depth in the VersaSpa FAQ section of our client care pages, generic store-bought sunless tanners often assume that “one formula tans all”, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Everyone has his or her own skin type, and each type tans a little differently. That’s why store-bought lotions and bronzers can leave you with sticky, inconsistent or poorly colored results.
With the VersaSpa, you’re guaranteed not only to have smooth, all-over even color every time, but your color will be deep, natural and beautiful. Our sunless tanning formula contains all-natural ingredients to soothe and nourish skin while giving you an all-over treatment that is truly worth every penny.

So you know what a tanning salon is, whether you’re a tan fanatic or just like to indulge once in a while. But do you know the how and why of tanning salons, and just how those state-of-the-art tanning beds are able to give you perfect color every time? There’s a lot of science going on behind the scenes at each and every Sun Tan City tanning salon, and you can take and in-depth look at what makes a tanning salon tick by exploring our tanning FAQ section.
Here are a few teasers about what you’ll find:
- Did you know that UVA rays are the longest of all ultraviolet rays, and UVB rays are shorter but more intense? It’s the precise control of UV rays that make tanning salons the better choice for consistent results for your tan.
- There is another kind of UV ray, the UVC ray, which is naturally filtered out by the atmosphere before it reaches your skin, so you won’t find any UVC in a tanning salon. The mission of every tanning salon is to recreate and refine the natural experience of lying in the sun.
- Tanning doesn’t stop after you leave the salon! The natural tanning process continues for up to 24 hours, which is why it takes a little while for your colors to shine.
I really encourage you to take a look at our articles, and gain an even deeper appreciation for those perfect golden results!
