Unwanted Tan Lines


Under arms: 

If you find you are getting white areas under your arms, try putting your arms over your head for half of your session. Using a stand-up unit with its overhead handles every third session will help as well.

 

Lines under buttocks: 

This can be caused by the weight of your body folding your skin under while you lie down. Try lifting your legs one at a time, in the classic sunbathing position, for half of the session each. Use of the stand-up every third tan also eliminates this problem.

 

Pressure points: 

Pressure points can develop under your shoulder blades or on your tailbone as a result of the lack of bloodflow to these areas when you are lying down. To tan over these spots, try using the standup every third visit, or shifting your weight side to side a few times while using the lie-down.

 

Under chin: 

This can be caused by tilting your head downward during the session. If you are in a bed, use the thick part of the pillow under your neck so you head is leaning slightly backward, exposing more of your neck. If you are in the stand-up, try to point your head directly forward or slightly toward the ceiling.

 

Around eyes: 

Do not consider tanning without eyewear. If you find you are developing lines from the eyewear, try using Winkies. Winkies can be adjusted to fit your eye exactly, and will stick slightly to your skin so you can use them easily in a stand-up unit. We also offer an assortment of goggles for use in the beds which may alleviate the problem. Check your under eye lotion that you're using. Most of them have an SFP in it. Wash it off before tanning if you want that area to get tan.
