Tanning Tips

Q) Why tan and isn't tanning harmful?

A) Light is essential to all life on earth. Scientific research is showing that 10 - 15 minutes of sunlight per day is necessary for people to function effectively. Light exposure has many health benefits, including production of Vitamin D, decreased risks of breast and colon cancer, and reduced risk of sunburn. Plus, people who are exposed to bright light feel happier, and prevents depression.

Q) Why indoor tanning?

A) Indoor tanning eliminates the "guesswork" of tanning outdoors and is easy, convenient and private. Our tanning consultants assist you by reminding you to wear protective eyewear, encouraging and recommending lotions before and after tanning and helping you avoid over-exposure.

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

A) Your skin produces a tan the same way in an indoor tanning salon as it does when you lay out in the sun.. However, you cannot control the amount of UV light exposure outdoors and trying to achieve an all-over even-body tan is very difficult. Tanning beds allows you to control the amount of UV light, for all all-over even tan, and allows you to tan gradually, eliminating any sunburn.

Q) How long is my first tanning session ?

A) Your first session length will depend upon your skin tone and type. Our tanning consultants will ask you for information and assist you choosing a tanning session that is right for you.

Q) Do I have to wear eye protection during tanning?

A) Eyewear protection is required by law. Approved eye protection is required to ensure you won't have any ill effects such as reduced color vision or night blindness.

Q) What can I do to help my tan last longer?

A) MOISTURIZE! MOISTURIZE! MOISTURIZE! Using a high quality moisturizer will help replenish vitamins and nutrients, keeping your skin smooth and younger looking while helping you maintain that deep dark tan you love.

Q) Can anybody tan?

A) Skin type 1 cannot tan, but anyone can get a gorgeous golden-tan look with our Mystic UV-Free Spray-on Tan process. Our tanning consultants can help you determine the type of tanning best suited to your skin type.

Q) I am on medications. Can I tan safely?

A) Depending upon the types of medications, some will cause photosensitivity, and you should avoid tanning in the tanning beds. However, our Mystic Tan allows you to get a sunless tan. Always check with your medical doctors prior to tanning.
