How do we tan?
Tanning takes place in the skin's outermost layer, the epidermis. When
exposed to UV-B light (short wave ultraviolet), you produce pigment,
melanin. When exposed to UV-A light (longer wave), your skin oxidizes or
darkens. You need UV-A, UV-B, and oxygen to tan.
Why does a tan fade?
Cells are constantly reproducing and pushing older cells upward toward the
surface of your skin. As your skin replaces its cells, the tan cells exfoliate
away. So the tanning process must continue with the new cells. Tanning
lotions and moisturizers help you maintain a healthier, longer lasting tan.
Why Indoor Tanning is Better
Speed, Control and Climate
It doesn't take all day to get a tan indoors. Depending on your skin type, just
a few minutes, not hours. Maintain your tan for as little as 60 minutes a
month. You can build your tan in a controlled environment, choosing your
level of UV-A and UV-B exposure. Overcast, rainy, or 90 degrees in the
shade, you never have to worry about the weather.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Lip and Eye Protection
Lips don't produce melanin and eyelids are too thin to block UV. That's why it's
important to wear lip balms with sunscreen and protective goggles. Eyewear must
be certified '21CFR'. We provide goggles which meet Federal standards. You can
avoid "Raccoon Eyes" by gently adjusting your goggles while you tan, but never
remove them completely.
Outdoors
When you tan outdoors, you are exposed to uncontrolled and often excessive
amounts of multi-frequency UV that can cause "sunburn" and permanent damage.
When you are outside and in danger of "sunburn," wear appropriate protection.
Medication
Some medications can cause reactions with UV light. If you are taking any
medications, please let your doctor know you're tanning.
