SIX STEPS TO THE DARKEST TAN

STEP 1. Never tan dry! Dry Skin requires 7 minutes to build melanin for a tanning bed to be effective. Dry tanning wastes 7 minutes of tanning time!

STEP 2. No outdoor lotion! Outdoor lotion is designed to protect the body from UV rays, while indoor lotion is designed to promote the body's ability to receive UV rays. Outdoor lotions also contain mineral oils that damage the acrylic and block the tanning power of the lamps. Outdoor lotions are forbidden in any certified tanning salon.

STEP 3. Go for it ! If you reach a tanning plateau or if you desire the absolute darkest tan possible, you should consider an extreme tingle lotion.

STEP 4. Skin Moisturizer – Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!!!! This is an essential step to your daily skin care regimen. Your skin is like a sponge. Keeping your skin moisturized helps maintain a healthy glow and it also extends your tan.

STEP 5. Do not bathe with soap! Harsh soaps will cause your tan to wash off before its time.

STEP 6. Tan once or twice a week and use a variety of equipment to keep your tan looking natural and dark.
