FAQ

Q. Can I tan if I’m taking medication?

Q. Can I go tanning if I’m pregnant?
A. The main concern is the heat. It’s recommended to tan early in the day before the equipment gets too warm, and make sure to get your doctors approval.

Q. Do I have to wear eye-wear when I tan?
A. Yes. Regulations say we must all wear our protective eye-wear while we indoor tan. Most of all tanning related injuries are to the eyes. They are truly a great investment.

A. Yes, to minimize this effect make sure to adjust your eye-wear during your tanning session.

Q. Can I wear my contact lenses while tanning?
A. To avoid any discomfort or injuries to your eyes, you should remove them.

Q. Can indoor tanning burn my internal organs?
A. No. UV rays can penetrate the dermis, the epidermis skin layers, and down to the skins sub- cutaneous layer only, not affecting the internal organs.

Q. Do I have to wait 24 hours to tan?
A. This is the FDA’s regulation to prevent any overexposure. Be smart and tan in moderation.

Q. Is there an advantage tanning indoors?
A. Yes. The advantage is control. You can control how much exposure you’ll actually get. Know your tanning point and when to stop your session.

Q. If I use a tanning lotion, will it make me burn?
A. No. Again it’s control. Using an indoor lotion will only help you tan quicker, darker, and stay tan longer. Over exposure will make you burn.

Q. Why will an accelerator tan me quicker?
A. Vitamins & nutrients. This is what’s needed for healthy skin, and healthy skin will absorb more uv rays thus giving you a quicker, darker tan. Dry skin will reflect up to 50% of the uv rays.

Q. What’s a maximizer?
A. A maxamizer is a moisturizer that will help replace some of the vitamins and nutrients lost during your tanning session.

Q. What are these white spots from?
A. They could be pressure points, sun spots, or vitiligo. A simple adjustment or two while your tanning can take care of your pressure points. Sun spots is a skin fungus known as tinea versicolor that they probably had all along but didn’t notice until after they started tanning. We sell a lotion for these, or recommend extra strength Selsun Blue shampoo to treat this fungus. For vitiligo, (white patches) see your doctor. They will often
prescribe a lotion or cream for those effected areas.

Q. What is difference between a regular bed and a high pressure tan, and which is for me?
A. Low pressure units give you both uva and uvb rays with more of a red color tan, and you’ll need to maintain it more often. High pressure beds emit uvc, uvb, and uva rays with a sophisticated filtering system designed to give you more uva tanning rays. It will take less sessions with a high pressure bed to build and maintain a more natural looking golden tan.

Q. How long should I wait to shower?
A. As long as you want. You are not going to wash your tan away. Make sure to use your moisturizer.

Q. What is Sun Spritz UV-Free Mist Tanning.
A. It’s a sunless self-tanner mist, spray on tan.

Q. Can I burn from this tan.
A. No. In fact this is the only guaranteed 100% no burn tan available.
