How long does it take to develop a tan?

This depends on your skin type, the lotion you use and your current skin color. In general, the average person can develop a base tan in 10-15 sessions in our 20 minute beds. On your first visit we will determine a schedule for you to follow, usually starting off with just a few minutes your first session and gradually working up to a full 20 minute session. It is very important not to overexpose your skin to the sun! Plan on 30 - 45 days to build a tan.

How often should I tan?

Texas State Law requires a waiting period of 24 hours between each tanning session. We recommend you follow an every other day tanning schedule when building your base tan. After you have developed your base, you can reduce your schedule to once or twice a week depending on the tan you desire.

What do I wear when tanning?

What ever you want! Once you enter your private tanning room it’s your choice. Some people wear their under garments, others bring swim suits, and many prefer to tan in the buff.

Do tanning accelerators / intensifiers really work?

Yes! These lotions help you tan faster, moisturize and many help reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles. By supplying your skin with needed vitamins, minerals, amino acids and moisture these lotions can help you tan up to 67% better than using no lotion at all. By using lotions you can tan faster in less sessions with less UV exposure = smarter tanning!

Do I have to wear those goggles?

Yes!!! Sunlight can damage your eyes producing SEVERE BURNING and possible long term damage. The skin that makes up your eyelids is very thin, UV can penetrate. So wear the goggles! If you are worried about the “raccoon eye” effect, use a small amount of self tanner around your eyes to blend your tan.

Other helpful advice:

When tanning indoors or out, moisture is lost from the skin. Use a good daily moisturizer after tanning, showers or exercise to keep a health glowing skin tone.

Choose a good quality lotion when tanning. Exposure to UVA can cause premature skin aging and wrinkling. A high quality tanning lotion can help prevent and reduce these effects. It’s well worth the money!

Remember, like most fun things in life, moderation is the key. Talk with your salon owner about tanning, take care of your skin, and take a break every now and then.

Why Tan Indoors?

#1: Controlling UV Exposure

When tanning indoors you know what to expect. Today's tanning equipment is designed to give you measured amounts of UVA and UVB. When used properly you can develop a tan without burning. When tanning outdoors, UV levels fluctuate depending on many variables including; location, time of day, season, closeness to the equator and weather conditions. Outdoor tanning = uncertain UV Exposure.

#2: Forecast Sunny

Have you noticed that on your day off it tends to be Cloudy, Cool or Rainy? You won't have that problem in a salon.
