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

Tanning Frequently Asked Questions & Benefits, FAQ

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.
