Tanning

Yes- Eye protection is required by law. The eyelid does not effectively block ultraviolet light while tanning. Therefore the use of approved eye protection is required to insure that our customers do not suffer ill effects.

Yes- the use of indoor tanning lotions will provide the three essentials of effective tanning: hydration, nutrition, and oxygenation. Skin must be hydrated to reach and maintain the desired tan. Dry, neglected skin reflects UV light and exfoliates much faster. Our natural, vitamin rich products are fundamental to the skin's appearance and ability to tan. Vitamins replenish necessary nutrition to skin cells, promoting cell regeneration and oxygenation. Oxygen fuels skin cell functions, thereby accelerating the tanning process. Our trained personnel will recommend the appropriate product for you.

UV light is the main source of Vitamin D for humans. UV light causes the skin to create pre-vitamin D, which, in turn, make Vitamin D that is necessary for good health, bone formation and repair, and the absorption of calcium and phosphorous in the body. The presence of Vitamin D in the body can decrease the risks of developing breast and colon cancers. Tanning also provides natural protection from sunburn. Melanin (tanning pigment) helps the skin absorb ultraviolet rays without causing damage to surrounding cells, thereby offering protection from sunburn.

Burning is the enemy. Tanning is your skin's natural defense mechanism and protection against burning. Burning leads to photodamage, premature aging, sun-spots, drying, flaking and peeling of the skin, and should be avoided at all costs. Moderation is the key and is enforced.

The number of times you need to tan to maintain your color depends on the equipment that you tan in, the lotion you use, and how well your skin tans. The average person usually tans 2-3 times per week to maintain their color.
