10 Awesome Indoor Tanning Tips

If you've never used commercial tanning beds, or are looking for some extra tips for indoor tanning check out these 10 indoor tanning tips for beginners. Indoor tanning is an easy way to get a great bronzed look regardless of the season or how much sun is outside. Indoor tanning is a hot profitable business for good reason. Those that use commercial tanning beds in indoor tanning salons leave feeling and looking great and refreshed.

1. The Introductory Tanning Special Local tanning salons with commercial tanning beds such as Desert Sun offer specials and coupons in mailers and grocery store receipts. Take a look at what is offered. Many times there are Local tanning deals such as 30 days for $9.99 or two weeks free on conventional beds, free eye wear protection or even free designer skin tanning lotion. Use these free tanning or low cost tanning introductory offers to get a feel for the tanning salons in your area. Once your comfortable with a salon, work the tanning salon employee for a special deal on more tans and designer skin tanning lotion.

2. The Unadvertised Tanning Deals. Unless it is the too good to be true introductory tanning special, never take an advertised local tanning special. The tanning salon employee behind the counter can always offer you better deals to use their commercial tanning beds. The tanning salon can get you just about any reasonable deal you can come up with and add the designer skin tanning lotion for free on top of it. Their stock of designer skin tanning lotion are like bargaining chips; so use them.

3. The Indoor Tanning Lotion. The creams and lotions sold in tanning salons contains safe chemicals that speed up your skin's readiness to tan. Indoor tanning lotions make your money go farther because they shorten the time it takes for your skin to start tanning.

4. Prepare Your Skin. Before indoor tanning, your skin should be clean and free of dead skin buildup. You want your skin to get the best tan possible, so using a mild soap or body wash and a quality exfoliator is essential. Using a body poof, scrub skin on arms and legs and the rest of the body in circular motions. This action will help remove dead skin that will increase the effectiveness of tanning.

5. Use A Light Moisturizer on the skin after you shower to keep skin moisture level high, this also helps keep skin pores clear. Unscented lotions such as Lubriderm are great.

6. Applying designer skin tanning lotion using circular strokes across your legs and arms at the least. Circular motions of the designer skin tanning lotion will greatly increase your chances of a more evenly spread tan and reduces the odds of finding patchy spots. Do not buy basic SPF outdoor tanning lotion. Only purchase designer skin tanning lotion. The grocery store stuff ruins the beds and does not allow for the best tanning.

7. Tanning Nude, Or Not? Whether you choose tanning nude or not is your choice. The tanning rooms generally have locks on them, and the norm is to tan nude. It is a personal preference and one that you must make on your own. If you are using a bronzer tanning lotion, be careful because some may stain clothing.

8. How Long In Tanning Bed? If you are a beginner, talk with the tanning salon employee. They can help you pick a good starting number for tanning. In a conventional setting, there is nothing wrong with only going seven minutes to start. Spending to long in the tanning bed too soon can result in harsh painful burns. Start low and slowly increase to 20 minutes in a conventional tanning bed. If you start to feel any prickling or stinging on your skin, you have over exposure. Stop tanning as soon as you feel this.

9. Don't Shower Right After Tanning. Your skin is still tanning hours after your tanning bed session ends. Allow your tan to set in and wait at least three hours. When you do shower, always use a moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated.

10. Long Term Tanning Risks. Indoor tanning is just as harmful to your skin as outdoor tanning. You must make your best judgement when deciding how long to continue tanning. Long term tanning risks include: ugly sun spots to skin cancer.

Under 18 and Like Tanning? Not So Fast…

Unfortunately, you read the title of this post correctly. For minors nationwide, they may be in for a bit of a surprise the next time they visit the tanning salon. In several states around the country, lawmakers are pushing for a ban on underage tanning. They aim to regulate it in the same way that tobacco, alcohol and firearms are regulated.

For example, two states that come to mind include Washington and Illinois, where lawmakers are trying to push through bills that would make it illegal to tan under the age of 18. This so-called “tan-ban” has many people in an uproar.

After all, what’s really illegal about getting some sun? For that matter, even if you were banned from a tanning salon, how would that regulate when you tanned outside? Is it constitutional for states to ban underage tanning? 

In essence, they would have to fully enforce the law and start issuing citations to any teen caught sunbathing. So will beaches and wearing a swimsuit when you are outside and catching some rays now be illegal under the age of 18, too?

According to the CDC, 25% of all teens frequent tanning salons. But a ban, as the one being suggested here, imposed on them would NOT stop teen tanning. After all, the SUN is FREE for everyone. As are spray-on tans.

Lawmakers have until the end of Feb to push the bills in both states. If the bills pass, salons caught violating the law would be fined; so would teens.

What’s next? Beach patrol officers roving around issuing citations for teenagers catching some rays on the beach?

SERIOUSLY.

What do you think of the proposed ban on tan for teens?

• Stick to soaps that are made with cocoa and Shea butters, as they have moisturizing properties.

• In general, you’ll want to tan for eight out of twelve days to establish a base tan.
• Be sure to indoor tan for only a few minutes in the beginning, before you work yourself up.
• A gentle scrubbing with a sponge and exfoliating body scrub before applying sunscreen will make a tan last longer and keep it evenly toned.
• Applying sunscreen is an important part of tanning.
• Sunscreen with an SPF of 10-15 is ideal for tanners.
• SPF of 10-15 will protect skin from dangerous rays and allow the tan to build gradually, which prevents sunburns or a reddish tan.
• Make sure to cover all exposed parts of skin evenly to avoid an uneven tan
• Don’t forget to use sunscreen on the backs of elbows and knees.
• Spending one to two hours a day tanning is enough for most people, and will let the tan build on itself.

• Tanning between 10am and 2pm may give a deeper tan or even cross over into sunburn territory.
• If you are going for an allover tan, make sure to expose all parts of the body to the sun equally.
• Lying on your stomach for 45 minutes and on your back for 10 minutes will make the tan unequal.
• make sure to spread out your elbows and inner arms for an equal tan
• A brief shower after a sun tanning session will help get rid of all the sunscreen and re-hydrate the skin.
• Dry skin is unhealthy and may peel or not maintain the tan very well.
• Gently rubbing a washcloth is usually enough to remove the sunscreen and prevent the tan from peeling.
• Apply a good moisturizer immediately after a shower to keep the skin hydrated and supple.
• Low SPF proves small degree of protection against the sun’s rays while still allowing the skin to get a tan.
• Apply first coat of sun lotion indoor, and then reapply SPF lotion again at frequent intervals to guarantee a safe sunbathing.
• Reapply lotion every time you get out of the water.

• Ensure you have extra protection to your skin from 10am-3pm
• The lips also need to have some form of protection to prevent cracks and burns
• Those who are enthusiasts of outdoor activities and water events should use heavy sun screens that are waterproof
• It is best to consult with your dermatologist to gain expert advice before exposing yourself to the sun
