Using a Tanning Bed
Here are some tanning bed tips and information about how to use a tanning bed:
- Call your local salon and find out what kinds of tanning beds are best to meet your needs.
- Ask about tanning packages to save money.
- Find out about tanning products to help achieve your look and keep your skin healthy. You can usually purchase these at the salon or from an online tanning supply company.
- Take a bag with a towel, tanning goggles, tanning products, and a ponytail holder or headband.
- When you get to the salon and enter the tanning room, be sure you have your tanning goggles. Always wear them when tanning.
- You can tan nude, wear underwear, or a swimsuit.
- Apply tanning lotion to your body. Use special lotion made just for your face.
- Put your hair back in a headband and/or pull your hair into a ponytail.
- If the tanning bed is horizontal, open the lid and lay down. Your salon may provide a pillow and fan (if there's not one built into the bed). Turn the fan on high.
- If you are using a stand up tanning bed, you may move around freely and raise your arms for an even tan.
- Be sure to put on your tanning goggles. Press the start button to begin.
- Relax and enjoy the rays. The light will turn off when you are finished.
- Wipe off with your towel and get dressed.
- Avoid bathing right away to preserve your tan.
- Always observe safety recommendations provided by your spa and tanning bed manufacturer. Do not exceed recommended tanning time.
Get Your Tanning Bed Parts and Equipment from a Reputable Dealer
Running a tanning salon is big business these days and having a reputable supplier of tanning bed bulbs and parts for tanning beds can make or break your profit margin. Even if you own a tanning bed in your home, going without tanning bed bulbs and parts can cost you inconvenience and frustration. Here are some tips for dealing with tanning bed parts and equipment:
- Consider having one source for all tanning bed parts and accessories to save you time, shipping costs, and confusion.
- Be sure you think before your purchase anything for your business, including tanning beds. If you buy a SunQuest tanning bed, make sure your dealer offers a warranty on SunQuest tanning bed parts and tanning bed acrylics.
- You dealer will know what types of tanning bed cleaners are best for your specific unit. Only use recommended products.
- Industry professionals know the business. There are imitators who make "Wolff" tanning bed parts that do not meet the standards of a true Wolff system.
- Make sure you deal with a reputable company if you are purchasing tanning beds or supplies and avoid buying from non-industry sources. Federal law mandates specific safety requirements for tanning beds. Buying from an non-industry source could cost you safety and your business license.
- Use a reputable dealer you can trust. You don't want shoddy parts, like a faulty tanning bed timer or broken tanning bed fan, from a cut-rate dealer.

Safety Issues with Home Tanning Beds
If you are looking at home tanning beds for sale, you will need to be aware of some safety issues:
- Some home tanning beds may require a buck booster to compensate for voltage variations. Check with your dealer to find out if you need one.
- Lamps should come standard with your unit, but you will need to replace them eventually. Only use the bulbs required by your user's manual. If the tanning bed comes with bulbs that are not recommended, do not buy the unit until the proper bulbs are installed. Using improper wattage can cause a fire.
- If you are renting, ask your landlord about power requirements.
- Always purchase and use tanning lotion. Never tan 'dry' - it can damage your skin.
- Use sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least 15 to keep from burning.
- Always wear tanning goggles - UV rays can damage your vision.
- Don't tan for the maximum amount of time during your first few sessions. Your tan should develop slowly, over a long period of time. Tan only once a week. Do not rely on the appearance of your skin directly following a session. Tanning results often appear six to 48 hours after tanning.
- Tanning can provide a healthy dose of light to your body, but too much can lead to burns, which are related to melanoma (skin cancer).
