Frequently Asked Questions

If I don't tan well outside, can I get a tan in a tanning bed?

Carefree Tan Troon
Usually, you will tan about as well indoors as you do outdoors. If you have never been able to produce a tan outdoors, you will not be able to produce a tan indoors either. Some who do not tan well outdoors are able to tan indoors in a controlled environment with the right amount of exposure in carefully controlled intervals.

Can I tan in a UV tanning bed on the same day?

Bronze Age Tanning&Salon | Olympia, WA | Frequently Aske...
Yes. If you plan to tan in a UV bed and the Sunless Express Spray Spa on the same day, we recommend you tan in the UV bed first. Tanning in the UV bed after the Sunless Express Spray Spa may alter your results due to the heat and perspiration.

Normally, a person tans indoors only as well as he/she is able to tan outdoors. Yet, those fair-skinned people who generally cannot tolerate the uncontrolled rays of the sun often achieve some color when tanning indoors. This can be attributed to a different spectral output as well as carefully timed tanning sessions in a controlled tanning environment. Skin type, heredity, and individual photosensitivity all determine who will have success tanning indoors.

Can I use a tanning bed or spray on tan while I'm having laser sessions?

Laser Hair Removal Atlanta
For Caucasian patients we prefer that you do not use these products while you are having laser sessions. Simply said, the lighter your skin stays, the better your results will be. When your skin is tan we have to "protect the pigment in your skin" from the laser. When your skin is lighter, we can simply target the pigment in your hair with more energy. For people of color, the situation is a bit different.

Will tanning in a tanning bed help?

Frequently Asked Tanning Questions
Probably not. Some skin types tan quickly and easily while others just don't have the pigmentation necessary to develop much of a tan. If you have "type 1" skin It's recommended that you not tan at all. Type 1 skin is skin that always burns easily and severely, tans little and peels. This condition is most common with people that have fair skin, blue eyes and freckles. Approximately 5% of the population is unable to tan. We would recommend you try one of our UV free tanning options.

Scenario 6: Is it OK if you do both a UV Tanning Bed and the Mystic Tan?

Urban Suntan
Yes; we call this the “tanning cocktail.” UV tanning helps open up your pores so when you do the sunless spray immediately afterwards, your tan goes deeper. You’ll look fabulous! Many doctors say ultraviolet light from the sun or a tanning machine is dangerous because of the skin cancer risk, but increasingly others disagree. NBC's Robert Bazell reports.

Can NicoDerm CQ be worn in a tanning bed?

The Original and Clear NicoDerm CQ patches can be worn while in the sun or tanning bed. However, the patches have not been demonstrated to be effective protection against sun exposure. Use of sunscreens with the patch is not recommended because it may affect the adhesion. Therefore, if you are planning on using the patch while tanning, you may want to place it in area that will not be exposed.

Can I use outdoor oils and lotions in the tanning bed?

Tanning Frequently Asked Questions & Benefits, FAQ
NO, just as the word indicates outdoor products should ONLY be used outdoors, as they can cause a film on the acrylic. This actually inhibits the tanning process, rather than acting as an amplifying agent. There are many excellent indoor tanning products for that purpose. Ask our tanning professional for recommendations.

How do the tanning agents "tan" my skin?

FAQ- Sunless Tanning Facts- Frequently Asked Questions- Sun ...
The proprietary, time-released tanning agents in TanSome react with the keratin (protein) in your skin's "dead" cells, darkening them. It does not react with, nor will it darken your skin's "live" cells. Remember, only UV-light will tan your "live" cells; and irradiating "live" cells with UV-light damages them, thereby greatly increasing the chances of skin cancer.

Can I tan my whole body with a sunlamp - tanning lamp?

Frequently Asked Questions: Tanning Lamp, Sun Lamp, Au Coura...
Our Sperti sunlamps are 'sectional tanners' and are not designed for full body tanning. Due to their size, they can only tan a section of your body at a time. That said, it is possible to tan the whole body, but it would take multiple sessions to do so. If your goal is to have a complete tan all over body we suggest purchasing our tanning canopies.

DHA: this is what produces a long-term tan. The use of DHA has been FDA-approved for decades as an external tanning agent. When applied, DHA reacts with proteins in the skin's superficial layer to form a golden brown color. Your skin begins to darken two to three hours after application and reaches its peak color within 24 hours. The color will gradually fade through natural exfoliation, just like a tan from the sun. To maintain optimal color, you'll want to tan every four to five days.

Is indoor tanning the same as tanning outside in the sun?

Super Tan Frequently Asked Questions
Your skin produces a tan the same way in an indoor tanning salon as it does when you lay out in the sun: through ultraviolet (UV) light. However, out in the sun, you cannot control the amount of UV light exposure and trying to achieve an all-over even-body tan is very difficult. Indoor tanning allows you to control the amount of UV light, for all all-over even tan. With indoor tanning you can gradually increase your exposure time eliminating any sunburn, which is harmful to the skin.
