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.
Types of Tanning Lotion for Indoor Tanning
The best tanning bed lotion is the kind recommended by industry professionals. Don't be fooled by cheap tanning lotion or end-of-season discount tanning lotion - you may be paying for outdated products. Always buy tanning bed lotions from your salon or tanning bed retailer to be sure you are buying a quality product. MasterTanning, a retailer of SunVision tanning beds and wholesale tanning lotion, has some useful information about the different types of tanning salon lotions available to help you achieve that bronzed look:
- Sunless tanning lotion creates a chemical change on the skin with dihydroxyacetone, or DHA. It combines with your natural amino acids to produce temporary color on the skin. Self-tanning lotion should not be confused with an airbrush (or spray on) tan, which temporarily colors the skin for a short period of time.
- Bronzers work like makeup and come in a powder or lotion. Some contain DHA and will tan the skin the same way as sunless tanning lotions.
- Indoor tanning lotion refers to products that do one or more of the following: moisturize the skin, develop your tan, and/or prevent sunburn.
- Tanning oil usually contains grapeseed oil, coconut oil, and/or sesame oil, along with other ingredients. They are thought to provide anti-aging properties and protection from the sun. If you use tanning oil, be sure to purchase products specific to indoor or outdoor use. Sunscreen can be applied to the skin before using oils if they don't already contain an SPF factor. Always follow manufacturer and salon recommendations when using tanning oil.
- Sunblock blocks the rays of the sun and will prevent a tan.
- Sunscreen can help you tan without getting a burn. Look for an SPF number in tanning lotion products if you want protection. The higher the SPF number, the more protection you will have from burning.
- Some types of tanning lotions are for tanning beds only. Do not confuse outdoor products with indoor tanning bed lotions - indoor lotions are only meant to be used in tanning beds and may not protect your skin from an outdoor sunburn.

Reconditioning Your Tanning Beds
In order to recondition your tanning bed, you need to clean each lamp before installing it into the bed, clean the bed itself, scrub your bed's acrylics on both sides, and make sure all of the cooling fans are in proper order. Try to do these simple tasks each time you change your beds' lamps so you can boost the bed's life expectancy.
