How old must I be to tan? You must be 17 or older. If you are
under 17, a parent must be present to provide written consent. If
you are under the age of 12, parental consent and a doctor's note
is required.
How does the tanning process work? There are three
components that make the tanning process work. UVB starts the
tanning process by stimulating the tanning cells, which contain
melanin (pigment). UVA darkens the melanin that has been
produced, but before that can happen, melanin needs a certain
amount of oxygen to facilitate the work that UVA performs. The
third component, oxygen, comes from blood vessels beneath the
skin and outside the skin. Of course, the tanning process can be
optimized through the use of professional tanning lotions that
contain nutrients for your tanning cells.
For those who seem to develop a tan rather slowly and become
impatient, please understand that a single tanning session can
potentially take anywhere from three to ten days to fully mature.
This is called DPD or Delayed Pigment Darkening.

Why can't I use outdoor lotions with indoor tanning
equipment? Outdoor tanning lotions, oils, and discount chain
indoor tanning lotions ruin tanning acrylic. The quality of the
ingredients in these products prohibit them from being easy to clean
off of the acrylic and the long term result is that it degrades the
acrylic itself. The result is that UV light will not be able to pass
through the acrylic to the tanner as well as it used to. We specifically
carry products which will deliver a professional result and are
formulated for professional equipment.
