We all tan differently, so knowing your skin type and speaking with a tanning expert at Sun Tan City is always advised. We pride ourselves on being experts in the tanning industry, and are here to share our experience to help make the most of your experience.

At Sun Tan City, you can get a great tan any time of year, so you need to know how to tan in order to maximize your experience! Here are some thought-starters…

- Pick the appropriate apparel to wear during your visit. If you have a lot of halter-tops or strapless tops, then you want to avoid straps in the wrong spots.

- Wear approved protective eye wear during every visit. State and federal regulations require that every time you tan, you wear eye wear that protects against 99% of UVA rays and 99.9% of UVB rays. We offer temporary and multi-use goggles at every Sun Tan City location.

- Tan in a bed that is right for you! Any of our tanning consultants can gauge your skin type and recommend a length of tanning session and appropriate tanning bed that will be the best choice for you.

- Use approved lotions for tanning. Outdoor tanning lotions are not OK in the beds, so ask one of our expertly trained tanning consultants to guide you through our products and explain how they can help your tanning experience.

And lastly, ask questions! We are always here to help and guide you through the process. Tanning is our passion and we love to talk about it!!

Our Tanning Consultants go through extensive training on how to get you the best tan possible. Every person tans differently, so feel free to ask your Tanning Consultant any questions you have about tanning, indoor tanning lotions, and how to prolong your tan.

But our website also has a whole section dedicated to tanning tips and pointers. So if you’re looking for more information on how to perfect your tan, whether it’s tips for before tanning, during tanning, after tanning, or general skin care tips, we have more than enough information for you.

And if you are looking for something specific and it’s not on our website, please reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter and we will be more than happy to answer your question.

On the Sun Tan City Facebook page, there is a lot of conversation about tanning tips. Here are some of the tips our clients have given.

• If your legs aren’t as dark as the rest of your body, apply tingles only to your legs. This will give you a boost.
• If you want to get your feet darker, lay upside down in the bed so your feet are under the facial tanners.
• Need a boost in color? Switch up your tanning bed. Stand-up beds are great for this.
• Do you have raccoon eyes from your goggles? Try Wink-ease. They are UV blocking stickers you apply to your eyes, and you make them the size you want.
• Have little white moons on your backside? Try sitting on the edge of the bed the last couple of minutes of your tanning session. Or, while in the stand-up bed, lean forward the last couple of minutes.

The tips may be a bit random, but you’ll get results. What other tips do you have?
