You should not tan every day. You should have at least a 48 hour time interval between indoor tanning sessions and also between outdoor exposures. It takes as long as 24 hours for pigmentation and any skin reddening to become fully visible. A responsible tanner observes his or her skin's reaction after exposure in order to determine if subsequent exposure is recommended to maintain a tan.

Only if you do a "Double Dip". To get an "instant" tan or an "extra boost" to your tan you should consider using our sunless Spray Booth immediately after tanning in a bed or booth. In just seconds you can have the natural-looking Cocoa Bronz color you desire. There is no such limitation for spray booth tans and spray booth tanning is allowed on the same day as a traditional tanning session.

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.

Yes. Tanning twice in the same day will create a darker tan, but we do not recommend back-to-back sessions. Tanning back to back does not give the DHA a chance to set between tans, and increases the chance that your tan may have an orange glow. Waiting 12 to 24 hours between tans will eliminate this potential problem.

A Yes! What's the catch you may ask? While we at Chocolate Sun feel there are no catches, we would like to touch briefly on some common sunless tanning observations, experiences, and questions we have had from our clients.

Moisturize! Moisturize! Healthy skin tans faster, darker, and retains a tan longer. Drink plenty of water and make sure to keep your skin moisturized with a high quality lotion especially formulated-for-tanning. Your skin is constantly renewing itself. The dryer your skin is, the faster it wants to shed its top layers and bring new skin to the surface. You loose the top layers, you loose your tan.

No! You should only do one or the other within a 24 hour period. If you do both on the same day you will overexpose your skin.

Try what make-up artists and beauty professionals use and recommend. Browmousse will keep groomed brows in place with the flick of the wand. The clear, non-sticky gel styles and conditions brows beautifully. Look for Hypo-allergenic and fragrance-free browmousse.

Obviously, "Fun" is in the eyes of the beholder! After a great seafood meal you may prefer music! You can find just about any type of music you like. From a "50's" group to country, blues, and several places offering karaoke where you can "do your own thing." There are dinner cruises with dancing, as well as gospel dinner cruises. Some night spots and restaurants have DJ's playing music while you just sit and visit with family and friends.

It is recommended that a person tans every other day for 4-7 tanning sessions to develop a base tan. Then it is recommended they tan once or twice per week to maintain it. Although some people prefer to tan every day, it is not necessary.

Sunlight is absolutely essential to all life on earth. There are various reasons, both biological and psychological, why exposure to light is desirable. In addition, many people believe they look better with a tan. Thus, having a tan may provide a psychological uplift for some.

Some people choose to wear a swimsuit, just as they would at the beach. But, because of the privacy of indoor tanning, most tan in the nude to avoid tan lines. Any skin that has never been exposed to ultraviolet light before will be more sensitive. These parts must acquire a tan slowly. Cut down the exposure time for these areas to 1/3 or less of the total time recommended by your tanning professional.

When you are taking photosensitizing medication it is not recommended to tan outdoors or indoors. If you aren't sure, ask your doctor, or ask our tanning consultant to see a list of medications, which can greatly increase the risk of overexposure. A partial list, by no means inclusive, appears below. Many common medications and even ingredients in food, shampoos & soaps can cause photo sensitivity which may lead to overexposure.

A tan is the body's natural protection against sunburn. Your skin is designed to tan as a natural body function. Each year, millions of Americans visit professional indoor tanning facilities in the spring, prior to sun-filled vacations or outdoor summertime activities, to establish what tanners know as a "base tan." Doing so enables vacationers to gradually increase their exposure to ultraviolet light without burning.
