Tanning salons are popular for people that live in areas that don’t receive much sun, or for those that are so busy that they don’t have time to lay out in the sun. While there are risks associated with indoor tanning, it is sometimes used as a mood booster due to an influx of vitamin D from the tanning beds. People that have darker skin tend to tan easier than people that have fair skin. No matter your skin tone, there are ways to maximize your tan while avoiding a sunburn from the tanning beds.

1. Check every medication that you are taking and make sure that they don’t increase sun sensitivity. This will be listed on the prescription bottle. If you don’t do so, you could end up with a bad sunburn.

2. Do not use any oils on your skin before visiting any tanning salons. Oils not only damage tanning beds, but can cause you to burn as well.

3. Use tanning lotions. One of the first thing that employees at tanning salons will tell you is that you need a tanning lotion to get and keep a tan. They are motivated by commission, but that is actually true. The tanning lotions moisturize your skin and contain ingredients that allow your skin to tan quicker and easier.

4. Don’t wear makeup in the tanning beds. This can prevent your face from tanning and will also clog your pores. Wash it off before you tan.

5. When you first start visiting the tanning salon, don’t spend any longer than five minutes in the tanning bed your first few times. If you are already tan, you may be able to get away with seven minutes. But, it’s best to start out slowly so that you don’t burn.

6. Visit the tanning bed one to three times per week. If you go more often than that, you risk damaging your skin. If you go less often, you may not be able to build a tan.

7. Moisturize your skin every day. Every morning, moisturize your skin with lotion or body butter. Do the same each evening.
