How to Upgrade From a 20-Minute Tanning Bed to a 15-Minute Bed

While you have a decent tan, you've been craving something darker. Unfortunately, you do not want to spend any more time tanning than you currently do. There is an easy solution for your problem. Most tanning salons offer different levels of tanning. You can upgrade from a 20-minute bed to a 15-minute bed in order to receive a darker tan in less time. Does this Spark an idea?

Discuss with the operator of the tanning salon what length of time you should tan. Tanning beds emit two types of UV lights: UVA and UVB. UVA is the ray which will cause your skin to tan and UVB is the ray which will cause your skin to burn. There is usually less UVB rays in the tanning bulbs in higher level beds. Since there is more UVA rays, you can tan for a shorter amount of time, but still develop a fantastic tan. If you have been tanning for the full time in the 20-minute beds, you should have no problem tanning for 15 minutes in the upgraded tanning bed.

Follow the same tanning procedure as you have been. Use protective eye wear. Continue using a tanning lotion prior to tanning. To preserve your tan, apply moisturizer after tanning and throughout the day.

Visit the tanning salon twice a week. Since you are in an upgraded bed, you will not need to tan as often as you did in a 20-minute bed. As previously noted, there is more UVA rays in the tanning bulbs in a 15-minute bed. UVA rays will last longer than UVB rays which means your tan will last longer. However, you will still need to stop at your tanning salon twice a week to maintain your golden glow.
