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.

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.

How can I stop my feet itching?

Common Problems
The most common causes of feet itching are dry skin or a fungal infection. A fungal infection causes circular scaling of the skin. It can also cause cracks in the skin, especially between the toes. Fungus likes to grow between the toes because it is a dark, moist environment. Fungal infections are best treated with antifungal creams or gels applied twice a day. There are many good creams that can eradicate a fungal skin infection.

Why do chickens stop laying eggs for a period of time?

FAQ/Brooding
When your pullets reach about 5-6 months of age, if you will supplement the natural daylight with light bulbs to maintain a 14-17 hour day, you will be very happy with the extra eggs. Birds have a pineal gland behind the eye that controls reproduction. That, of course, is egg production. This switch is turned on and off by the hours of light the birds have each day.

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.

I only want to use a tanning bed for a few times before going on vacation. Is this okay?

Suntanning and Tanning Booths
Expert bodies such as the US Food and Drug Administration do recommend that tanning booths should be avoided. This does not mean that everyone who uses a tanning booth will have an adverse health effect. Likewise, people who go out in the sunlight unprotected from the UV will not all suffer harmful effects. Of course, we should be aware that some harmful effects like skin cancer take many years to appear. Expert recommendations are made based on health studies from large groups of people.

Can I use it if I am tanning?

Renaissance Stretch Mark Creme FAQ
One of the physical characteristics of stretch-marked scar tissue is that the pigmentation in it changes and it no longer tans evenly with the rest of your undamaged skin. While there should be no adverse affect from using Renaissance while you are tanning, it may be more difficult to recognize the dramatic changes taking place. It is recommended that you apply at least an SPF 30 sun block to the affected area after Renaissance has completely absorbed into your skin.

Our line of quality accelerators contain vitamin A, C, E, and botanicals that moisturize and increase blood flow, thus increasing oxygenation of melanin cells to help speed up the tanning process.

When should I replace my tanning bed acrylics?

FAQ Purchasing Acrylics *Phoenix Sun Tanning
Acrylics should obviously be replaced when they are broken, especially if the crack is large enough to either pinch a customer, or break completely and further damage your tanning unit. One of the biggest mistakes of salon owners is waiting for their acrylics to break before replacing them. Even if your acrylic appears to be in perfect shape, over a period of time it will begin to block a percentage of the UV light. Most acrylics should be replaced every 1500-3000 hours.
