Six steps to the darkest tan

6 STEPS TO THE DARKEST TAN

STEP 1. Never tan dry! Dry Skin requires 7 minutes to build melanin for a tanning bed to be effective. Dry tanning wastes 7 minutes of tanning time! Always use an indoor tanning lotion for the quickest and darkest tan.

STEP 2. No outdoor lotion! Outdoor lotion is designed to protect the body from UV rays, while indoor lotion is designed to promote the body’s ability to receive UV rays. Outdoor lotions also contain mineral oils that damage the acrylic and block the tanning power of the lamps. Outdoor lotions are forbidden in any certified tanning salon.

STEP 3: If you reach a tanning plateau there are a few simple solutions – lotion rotation and alternating tanning equipment. Your body can build up a tolerance. Once you switch lotions and/or alternate between different types of tanning equipment, you will burst through your tanning plateau.

STEP 4: Once you have taken the time to achieve your tan, protect and extend the life of it with one of our tan extenders​​​​​​​. Your skin is like a sponge. Moisture is the key for longevity of your tan as well as bathing your skin in the vitamins it needs to keep it healthy.  Look for a brand with anti-aging elements to keep your skin looking fresh and young.

STEP 5. Do not bathe with soap! Harsh soaps will cause your tan to wash off before its time.

STEP 6. Tan once or twice a week and use a variety of equipment to keep your tan looking natural and dark.
