~It is important for you to educate youself before using a tanning bed.~


  • The FDA requires a minimum of 24 hours between tanning sessions.  This time is needed for your skin to recover from UV exposure.  Your skin also needs this time to create new melanin which is what gives you your color. 


  • Indoor tanning lotions are designed to help you see your tanning results faster & get you  darker than possibly imagined.  When using a quality tanning accelerator, you're able to absorb 60% more of the UV rays & maintain your tan up to 70% longer.  Many advanced products contain anti-aging and skin firming ingredients that help improve the look of your skin.  This is the key to a long lasting tan.  If your skin flakes, so does your tan.  Moist skin tans better & more evenly.  Remember, dry skin reflects UV light.  Also, watch out for store bought lotions that contain mineral oil.  This will inhibit your ability to build a tan.  


  • Outdoor lotions and SPF? Save these for outdoors only.  Not only do you not need them indoors but they may damage our equipment.  When tanning indoors you are in a controlled environment & your risk of burning is greatly reduced by following our tanning time recommendations. 


  • Eye protection is an absolute must!   Your eyelids only block 25%  of UV rays.  Over-exposure to the eyes may eventually cause cataracts, colorblindness & loss of night vision.  Also, it is not necessary but you may want to remove contacts before tanning.  The heat may cause your eyes to become dry temporarily.  


  • Your lips cannot produce melanin which means they are not capable of tanning but they may burn.  Protect your lips with a balm of at least SPF 15.  


  • Acrylic nails may yellow when exposed to UV light.


  • You may wear whatever you like while tanning.   Some people choose to tan in their bathing suits or underwear, and others prefer a more "natural" approach. Since you are in a private room while tanning, you can wear whatever you like.









  • Can I tan if I am pregnant?  Please consult your physician.  Although we know that there is no danger from ultraviolet rays since they cannot penetrate deeper than the dermis (second skin layer), pregnant women are advised to be cautious with saunas, hot tubs, and other things that can cause excessive heat to build up in the uterus.  As a woman, your body temperature should not exceed 101 degrees, especially while pregnant.


  • Are there certain medications that will make me sensitive to UV exposure?  Yes, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you have a question on any of the medications that you are currently taking.  Even household items like ibuprofen, allergy/cold medicine, herbal supplements and birth contol may cause sensitivity.


  • I have reached a point that I just can't get any darker.  What can I do?  Your skin actually becomes thicker as your tanning progresses and makes it difficult for ultraviolt (UV) light to penetrate the upper layers of skin. This is commonly referred to as a tanning "Plateau".  Tanning accelerator and moisturizer without mineral oil is extremely important at this point.  Our recommendation is to use tanning lotion and even refrain from tanning for a few days.  This will give your skin time to recover from previous UV exposure and develop more melanin which is what gives you your color.


  • How clean are tanning beds?  Our beds are sanitized before and after each client.  We use hospital grade disinfectant spray and new towels are used each time.
