How To Establish A Base Tan Without Getting Burned
...is key!
7.Wear eye goggles at all times! Many people think that putting a towel over their face will block the UV rays, but it doesnt and repeated UV exposure can cause major eye problems later in life. Would you rather be blind or have lighter eyelids? I think I would choose the latter, but that is just me. For your own safety, please wear the eye goggles!
8.Since indoor tanning does not require the use of a bathing suit, use a towel to cover those sensitive areas that dont see the sun very often if you want to tan all over. In the beginning, try covering those areas for half the session and see how it goes. Gradually you can remove the towel earlier and earlier until you dont need to use one anymore. The towel acts as a filter but wont completely block the UV rays, so you are still getting the tanning process started.
9.To avoid getting creases or pressure tanning lines, you should move your limbs into different positions during your session. For the first half, try laying down with both arms extended above your head and legs apart. For the second half, bring your arms down next to your sides but away from your body, and re-position your legs by raising one knee slightly for a half of the remaining time, and then the other leg do the same thing.
10.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. If you wear a lot of deodorant, you may notice that you are not tanning as well around your armpits, and you need to remove this prior to tanning.
When it comes to tanning, every persons skin type is different and results will vary. Consult with your local tanning salon for a skin type analysis (from a Smart Tan Certified Tanning Consultant) so you can get a good idea of where to start.
* Also, ask your doctor for his or her advice if you have any specific medical questions or concerns.more

...rom 400-800 hours only. The safest thing to do is to keep tabs on how long the bulbs are being used, so one can also keep track of the life span of the bulbs one buys. If some bulbs noticeably don't last as long as other preferred brands, it might be time to shift labels.
The dimmer a bulb gets, the less effective it is. This is why owners of tanning salons should strictly follow a regular schedule when changing the bulbs on their lamps and beds. Even if the bulbs don't look dim yet, it's good to replace all of them at once with a fre...more
