Tanning
Tips
- Never try to hurry a tan and
always use common sense.
This is the most important rule. In other words: never sunbathe
more than once a day. As a rule of thumb: up to ten sessions
in two to three weeks. The tan achieved will then be retained
by sunbathing once or twice a week.
- Follow the recommended exposure schedule for your
skin type. It should be listed on the front of
the tanning unit. A TAN ESSENTIAL certified
tanning consultant will advise you on proper tanning procedure.
- Protect your eyes. Keep your eyes closed
and always wear compliant, protective eyewear when using
any indoor tanning system. Contact lenses should be removed
prior to tanning.
- Protect your lips. They do not produce
melanin and will burn easily unless you protect them with
lip balms and sunscreens.
- If you are taking medications, please
be aware that certain medications may be photosensitive.
That is, they may cause an adverse reaction when the body
is exposed to UV light. A list, which identifies many photosensitive
medications, foods and ingredients, is available at TAN
ESSENTIAL. Always consult your physician if you
have any questions or concerns.
- Before tanning, be sure to remove any make-up or skin
care products from your skin and take off all jewelry. Some
lotions, sunscreens or other products that are not designed
for use in conjunction with an indoor tanning system, may
limit your tanning potential. Using moisturizing lotions,
etc., designed specifically for use with an indoor tanning
system, will maximize your tanning experience.
- Before and after tanning use skincare products to keep
an attractive tan looking good longer. Quality indoor tanning
products are particularly suitable for this type of skin
care because they are tailored to the specific needs of
the indoor tanner. Ask a TAN ESSENTIAL
certified tanning consultant for details.
- If you plan on tanning in the nude, cover previously unexposed
areas for the majority of you tanning session for the first
few visits. Gradually increase exposure to these areas,
giving the skin time to build melanin production.
