Protect your eyes.
Simply closing them or wearing outdoor
sunglasses while you tan is not adequate
protection against possible long-term eye
injury. Wearing the FDA-compliant
eyeprotection available in this salon can
eliminate that risk.
If you are taking any medications, please let
your salon  attendant know. Some medications
can cause reactions with UV light,
so it is important that you tell us.
If you
plan to tan in the nude, cover previously unexposed areas for the
majority of your
tanning session for the first few visits.

Protect your lips. They do
not produce melanin and will burn easily unless
you protect them with lip balms or sunscreen.
The
important thing is to
avoid Sunburn.
Moisturize your skin. The heat and light from tanning sessions can dry
your skin.
Because
moist skin tans
best, we recommend you moisturize before
and after each
tanning session to get the
most out of each visit.

Gradually increase exposure to these areas,
giving the skin time to
build melanin production.

Whether you tan indoors or outdoors, the process
is the same. Ultraviolet rays stimulate skin cells
to produce melanin, the pigment that makes your
skin tan.
There are two types of ultraviolet light rays -
UVA and UVB. Different
indoor tanning
units use different combinations of these two
tanning rays. Whatever the combination,
your exposure times are regulated by the federal government to minimize your risk of sunburn or overexposure.
Smart tanning involves following the
exposure schedule designed for your skin type
and avoiding sunburn by tanning gradually.
