Tanning beds allow you to get a darker skin color without spending hours in the hot sun. Although it will likely take you several weeks of regular use to see a major difference in your skin color, you can see quicker results from tanning beds by following a few simple tips. Before you start tanning, consult with the tanning salon staff for a suggested tanning time, based upon your natural skin color and tanning tendencies. Build up to the maximum tanning bed time gradually every day until you can tan without burning. Does this Spark an idea?
Exfoliate your body to remove older skin cells and ensure that the newest skin cells will receive the rays from the tanning bed. Pay special attention to your knees and elbows where skin is tougher.
Apply a tanning lotion specifically made to work with a tanning bed. For best results, use the lotion a few hours before you tan. Check with your tanning facility for suggestions and prohibited tanning lotions.
Choose a high-quality tanning bed. Many tanning salons offer several levels of tanning at different prices. For example, lower quality tanning beds run for a max of 20 minutes, but higher quality beds may run for a max of 12 minutes while yielding better results.
Keep your skin regularly moisturized throughout the day. Dry cells flake off your body causing you to loose what color you have achieved. Consider using a tanning accelerator or tinted moisturizer to keep your skin moisturized.
Warning
- Some medications may react badly with tanning beds so check with your physician before starting a tanning regimen. For example, medicines for high blood pressure, diabetes and asthma may negatively impact your tan, or may cause your medication to be less effective.
- Don't use an outdoor tanning lotion with tanning beds; it may actually damage the bed.
