What you need to know
F.A.Q.
Is indoor tanning more effective than tanning outside?
Studies show that tanning devices help you build a base tan more quickly and effectively because of the controlled environment.
With a tanning device, you can control a session and expose your skin to a consistent level of UVA and UVB light.
But when you tan outdoors, you can’t control these elements, therefore giving you less consistent results.
Thus, the controlled environment that a tanning machine offers makes indoor tanning a more effective way to have a glowing tan and boost Vitamin D levels.
How many sessions do i need to have a base tan?
The maximum time depends on the tanning device and your skin type. For example, The Ultrasun Q18 has a maximum session time of 15 minutes. However, this time could be shorter if you have a darker complexion, as this type of skin requires less time to have a tan. We advise that you ask the tanning consultant to see what machine and tanning time is best suited for your skin.

Can I wear my contact lenses while i’m tanning?
You can wear your contact lenses during a tanning session although we do recommend for you to close your eyes during a session and wear protective goggles.
But if you find the heat coming from the device is causing dryness and discomfort, you may want to remove them on your next appointment
Do You Need Tanning Lotion for Indoor Tanning?
This is one of those indoor tanning tips that is often overlooked because many people believe that tanning lotion isn’t necessary for this type of tanning.
While it’s true that you shouldn’t wear outdoor tanning lotion while tanning indoors because it is designed for outdoor use and because it could permanently stain a tanning bed, wearing a lotion that is designed specifically for tanning indoors can actually improve the tone of your tan.
If you want a tan with a bit of bronze or one that has some glow to it, then there are products that you can buy directly from the tanning salon that will help you achieve this result.
Many of these indoor tanning products will also hydrate your skin as they accelerate your tan so that it doesn’t dry out.
While indoor tanning lotion isn’t necessary in the same way that sunscreen is for outdoor tanning, it will improve your overall result.
Should You Wear Protective Eyewear for Indoor Tanning?
Yes, protective eyewear is vital for indoor tanning.
Your tanning salon tech may provide you with tanning goggles during your session, although you should invest in your own pair.
It is not enough to drape a towel over your eyes because the UV rays that the bed gives off can still filter through the material.
If you’re worried about the skin around your eyes staying pale and giving you a reverse raccoon-eyed effect, you can carefully readjust the goggles during your tanning session to avoid this.
If you tan indoors without wearing protective goggles, you risk damaging the sensitive skin around your eyes that may cause premature aging, such as wrinkles and crow’s feet, as well as damage to the eyes themselves.
It’s also important to wear protective eyewear if you need to tan while wearing contacts.
While some salons might recommend that you take them out before tanning, it’s not dangerous to leave them in, as long as you wear your goggles.
To help keep your eyes moist during tanning, you can add a little saline solution to your contacts before putting them in.
Depending on their structure, indoor tanning may damage your contacts, so it’s best to ask your eye doctor about whether they would be affected.
How Does Skin Type Affect Indoor Tanning?
Your skin type has a great deal to do with how often and how long you will tan at an indoor salon, so it’s important that you discuss it with a tanning salon professional in order to create a tanning schedule that works for you and that is safe for your skin.
What many people don’t realize is that indoor tanning is a process that takes place over time and that you rarely get the results you achieve in just one visit.
However, the number of appointments you will need and the duration of time you spend tanning will depend greatly on your skin tone.
Lighter tones will need more appointments in order to tan the skin gradually without burning it, and darker tones will need fewer appointments, as it will tan more easily. Understanding your own skin type will allow you to build an even tan and reduce the risk of burns.
Your skin type will also affect how frequently you will have to return to the salon once you build up a tan.
The lighter your skin is, the more frequently you will have to tan.
Once you achieve the color you desire, you will have to return to the salon several times a week in order to maintain it.
How Do You Prepare for Indoor Tanning?
Indoor tanning does require more preparation than outdoor tanning, so you’ll have to remember a number of indoor tanning tips for the night before your appointment.
First, you should shower with warm water and a gentle, water-based soap before exfoliating the skin.
Sloughing away dead skin cells, excess body oil, and other impurities will allow your skin to better absorb the tanning bed’s UV rays.
On the day of your appointment, you shouldn’t wear makeup, scented body lotion, or any jewelry when you go in for your tan.
Heavily-scented lotions and other cosmetics may interfere with how effectively the bed’s rays reach your skin and may result in uneven tanning or may even damage your skin if they make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.
Your tanning salon technician can also let you know about any additional preparations you need to make.
