Want some healthy tanning tips?
1.Always wear eye protection. Ultra Tan always has Wink Ease for free. We also offer goggles for $1.00
2.Always wear SPF lip balm to protect your lips and cover your tattoos with SPF.
3.Be careful if you are on any prescription medications: blood pressure medications, antibiotics, and skin problem medications are just a few categories of drugs you preferably should not be taking if you are tanning or spending lots of time outdoors. Refer to the photosensitizing medication chart in your local tanning salon to be sure the medications you are taking are not listed. These medications can effect the results of your tanning, making it more difficult to tan and you are more prone to burning.
4. Avoid burning. If you are just beginning to tan, remember to start out conservative. Whatever you do, you don’t want to burn- you cannot tan on top of a burn and you will have to start over. The old saying “I always burn first and then I tan” is completely false, it simply does not have to be this way. If you burn, your skin is telling you that it’s getting too much sun, and then you will peel. So start out with a low number of minutes and work your way up.
5. Always use a good quality indoor tanning lotion. It will help your skin to absorb the UV, which will aid in the tanning process. 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 Products could be out-of-date or damaged if they are not sold by an indoor tanning bed business or retailer. Lotions help accelerate your tan and extend the life of your tan. Use an after tanning moisturizer to prolong the tan and hydrate the skin.
6. Since most people tan in the buff or with barely anything on, cover sensitive areas with a towel and slowly expose these areas to UV light.
7. To avoid getting creases or pressure tanning lines, you should move your limbs into different positions during your session.
8. Try to avoid wearing make-up, deodorant, or other perfumes prior to tanning. Some of these things can make your skin more sensitive and possibly have a bad reaction with your skin when exposed to UV. We offer complimentary baby wipes at the counter to help remove these before you tan.
