Question:

What are the benefits of a tanning canopy?

Benefits of a Tanning Canopy

Home tanning beds require a lot of room but tanning canopies are easy to fold and store when you don't need it. In most cases you should be able to angle your canopy when you tan to get the same golden tan you want. With proper use, a person with a small home or apartment should be able to accommodate a tanning canopy.

Benefit from having the best tanning product in the convenience of your own home without going to a commercial tanning salon. In the long run, you'll save. Tanning canopies work just as well as tanning beds. They are slightly cheaper. Anyone can afford a tanning canopy.

Tanning canopies run on a standard dedicated 120 volt household circuit. When you're done tanning, you simply fold the tanning canopy up and roll it out of sight on its attached castors until you're ready to tan again. Contact your tanning beds supplier for more details.

Q. I would like to know the difference between using an "indoor tanning lotion" purchased from a drug store versus the "accelerators" purchased at the tanning salon. Besides price and the "extra ingredients" put into the salon lotions that are for anti-aging and anti-wrinkling, etc., I need to be able to explain to my customers the reason that using the "store bought indoor tanning lotions" is not recommended because they won`t achieve the same tanning results? Are the accelerators really accelerators or will someone get just as good a tan using the cheap stuff?
