"Smart Tanning" means respecting both the risks and benefits involved with sun exposure and making intelligent decisions based on that information. This professional indoor facility believes that moderate tanning- for those who can develop a tan- is the smartest way to maximize the potential benefits of sun exposure while minimizing the risks associated with too much sunlight. Practice intelligent moderation and be critical of information pointing to any extreme messages of "sun abstinence".

About Indoor UV Tanning:

How long can I stay in the tanning bed the first time?

This depends on your individual skin type. Your TanSpa consultant will determine your individual skin type and recommend and regulate the tanning time that is best for your skin. Your tanning time also depends on the units that best fit your tanning needs.

How quickly can I increase tanning time after my first session?

If you do well first time in the tanning bed, most of our clients
Increase their tan time by 2-3 minutes each time thereafter until reaching the maximum tan time for that particular tanning unit.

Which Tanning units can I use my first time at TanSpa?

You may use any type of equipment your first time at TanSpa. Our consultants will determine your initial tan time and tanning unit. After building a base tan, most of our members, use a combination of units to achieve the best results.

How often can I tan?

You may tan everyday if you wish, as long as you wait 24 hours between each tan.

What is the purpose of using lotion in the tanning bed?

The lotion/accelerator is to keep your skin moisturized and to provide you with maximum tanning results. Dry skin reflects UV light so if your are not using an indoor tanning lotion you are not getting the full benefit of your tanning session. Moisturizing after your session is necessary to prolong your tan. Your tanning consultant will demonstrate the best products for your skin type.
