How long will it take to get a tan?

Everyone's skin is different, and the tanning process occurs at different speeds depending on a person's skin type. Those with darker complexions usually tan faster than those with fair skin. The range is about 10-20 consecutive sessions (every other day, and no more than 4 times per week) will give you a base tan. How long it takes to get a tan also depends on whether or not you use a professional indoor tanning lotion to maximize the tanning results from UV exposure.

Why does my tan fade?

Since a tan occurs in the epidermis, the skin's outermost layer, it is eventually lost during the natural exfoliation process. Skin replaces its cells about every 30 days; when the cells in the top layer are exfoliated, allowing new ones to reach the surface, they take with them the darkened melanin created by the exposure to UV light. At this point you have tanned melanin both in your skin and on the surface of your skin. Tanned melanin on the surface of the skin is going to remain there only until you shave or exfoliate it off. Regular tanning visits rebuild what has been lost.

Why do I have to use eyewear?

You should always be wearing federally approved protective eyewear that blocks 99.9% of UVB light and 99.9% of UVA light, since your eyelids are too thin to block UV light, and can lead to both temporary and long term damage to your eyes, which is why it's important you use protective eyewear every minute of every session. Eye protection is available at all Planet Sun locations.

Why is lip balm important to use during my tanning session?

The lips are the only exposed area on your body that cannot produce melanin and therefore cannot protect themselves from UV light. This can lead to dry and burnt lips, which is why you should always wear a lip balm with a minimum of an SPF 15 when tanning indoors or out.

Why do some people get white spots?

White spots can occur due to pressure points, vitiligo, or tinea versicolor.

How long should I wait to shower after tanning?

You should wait at least 3 hours to shower after tanning. After your tan, you want to replenish the moisture in your skin for as long as you can, as this helps to prolong the life of your tan. Keep in mind, you just came out of a tanning session which took some moisture out of your skin. By using a premium indoor tanning lotion you're minimizing the moisture being taken out of your skin during your session. If you shower right after your tan, you may dry out your skin even quicker, especially if using harsh exfoliants. After your tan you always want to apply a moisturizer. This locks in your tan by adding the moisture back into your skin afterwards.

Can I tan with tattoos?

With a fresh tattoo you had chemicals injected into the skin that can make that area very sensitive to UV exposure while the tattoo is still healing. So if you're going to tan, make sure those areas are covered until the skin has healed. The tattoo will start fading a little with exposure to UV light whether it comes from tanning beds or the sun. You can preserve those tattoos by using a Tattoo Fade Shield, an SPF lip balm, or a good quality sunscreen.

What's causing the scent I smell after tanning?

During your tanning process, melanin releases its own distinctive scent. The scent released is as natural as the tanning process itself, and can be removed with a body spray, using an indoor tanning lotion containing ingredients designed to remove the after tan scent, or simply take a shower a few hours after your tan.
