10 Tips for your BEST GLOW possible
1.Perfumes and cosmetics might make you look and smell good, but you shouldn't use them in a tanning bed. The products have a photosensitizing effect on your skin that causes unexpected results. Results range from uneven tanning to rashes. Wash away cosmetics before tanning. A perfume causes rashes or burning sensations when worn in the tanning bed. It is best to wash away any perfumes or cosmetics before tanning in a tanning bed or out in the sun.
2. A study by the ATI confirms that the proper use of indoor tanning lotions improves the effectiveness of tanning. The effects of indoor tanning when lotions are used is healthier skin and a longer lasting tan.
3.Indoor tanning supplies and products should not be purchased through non-tanning outlets, flea markets, or other business that are unrelated to the tanning industry. Products could be out-of-date or damaged if they are not sold by an indoor tanning bed business or retailer.
4.What are the risks of indoor tanning? Their are fewer than the outdoor experience due to the control the consumer has over commercial indoor tanning beds. Timed sessions, protective eye wear, and temperature control are among the pros to indoor tanning.
5.Since overexposure to tanning has been shown to cause melanoma, the history of indoor tanning has been marked by regulation to protect consumers. The FDA is mandated to publicize indoor tanning facts to reduce overexposure. Your salon should make you aware of the necessary indoor tanning information to keep your skin healthy while tanning.
6. Always wear recommended goggles to protect from corneal sunburn. Over exposure of UV Rays is harmful to your eyes and our Salon provides disposable free eyewear to use each and every time you get in a bed. You shouldn't look at the UV light and the direct light could hurt your eyes, even when with your eyes closed.
7. There are many people who wonder what to wear in a tanning bed. Most tanning places offer private rooms. You could wear something like a bathing suit if you wish. Some people simply wear their own underwear. Others prefer to be completely nude for a natural, all even tan. You may wear what you like, just remember to remove things like watches or jewelry or any sort of clothing on places you want to tan. Band- aids should be removed to avoid white spots.
8. Despite what is assumed by most people who are new to indoor tanning, a tan is something that is worked on. People who get tans don't get them on the first go. They need to build on a tan slowly and regularly. If you go too long before your next visit to a tanning bed, the tan you have may start to fade. It is recommended you wait at least 48 hours though before you go for your next session. If you can wait a little bit longer, it is better as it helps your tan. After you've developed a tan, you can preserve it by going back in twice a week.
9. When you tan using a tanning bed or booth, your skin tans the same way it does when you lie out in the sun: through ultraviolet (UV) rays. There is a big difference, however, between being in a tanning bed and being out in the sun. When you are outside getting a tan, the atmosphere affects the UV rays. There is no real way to tell how much UV light you are getting. Indoor tanning is one way to regulate the amount of UV light you are exposed to, because it is a controlled environment. You increase your exposure time to make sure you won't get harmful sunburns on your skin. This controlled environment helps in getting an even tan on your body in less than a half an hour a day.
10. Did you know you have a skin type? You do, and depending on what it is, you should be aware of it before you head off to the tanning bed at the salon. For example, if you have sensitive white skin, or albino skin, you would be Skin Type 1. If you have dark skin, you have a Skin Type 5.
