Question 2

What are red light beds and what do they do?

Accepted Answer

Red light therapy beds use low-level wavelengths of red light to promote skin rejuvenation, reduce fine lines, and improve overall skin tone. They're great for anyone looking to support healthy skin while enjoying a relaxing, non-tanning session.

Question 3

How often should I tan to maintain my color?

Accepted Answer

To maintain a consistent tan, we suggest tanning 2-3 times a week. However, this may vary based on individual skin types and desired results.

Question 4

What should I do to prepare for a spray tan?

Accepted Answer

Before your spray tan, shower and exfoliate your skin and avoid applying lotions, perfumes, or deodorants. Wear loose-fitting clothing to the appointment for the best results.

Question 5

Do I need to bring anything with me to tan?

Accepted Answer

We offer a full line of tanning and safety accessories, including goggles, lotions, and aftercare products to keep your skin protected and glowing. Our staff can help you choose what’s best based on your tanning method and goals.

Question 6

Spray Tans: How do I prep, maintain, and avoid uneven areas for the best spray tan results?

Accepted Answer

To achieve an even, long-lasting spray tan, exfoliate with a non‑oil-based scrub 24 hours before your appointment and avoid lotions, makeup, and deodorant the day of. Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing afterward to prevent streaks or solution transfer. Pay special attention to dry areas—like hands, elbows, knees, and ankles—by applying a barrier cream so they don’t over‑absorb color. Following your session, wait the full recommended development time before showering and moisturize daily to keep your tan smooth and vibrant.

Question 7

UV Tanning Beds: What’s the best way to build color safely and get better, more even tanning results?

Accepted Answer

For faster, safer color development, begin with shorter sessions and gradually increase exposure to avoid burning. Use a tanning accelerator with tyrosine to support melanin production and avoid long gaps between sessions while building your base. Rotating between different bed levels helps you break tanning plateaus and achieve more even results. Always wear proper eye protection to shield your vision and prevent uneven facial tanning caused by squinting.

Question 8

Red Light Therapy: How often should I use it, and what benefits can I expect when combining it with tanning?

Accepted Answer

For visible skin improvements—such as smoother texture, reduced redness, and boosted collagen—aim for 3–4 sessions per week for the first month, staying consistent for best results. Red light therapy can also be paired with tanning sessions; using it beforehand helps increase circulation, improve skin health, and create a smoother canvas for more even tanning. Its collagen‑stimulating effects naturally support hydration, elasticity, and brightness, enhancing both your skin and your tan.
