Q. Can I tan if I’m taking medication?
A. Usually it will say on the prescription label, however always check
with your doctor.
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.
Q. Will I get racoon
eyes from the eye-wear while I tan?
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. |
