Indoor Tanning In-Depth

Many people prefer the method of indoor tanning to acquire a tan. It is easy, convenient and private. It is administered in a controlled environment with measured dosages and eliminates much of the "guesswork" of tanning outdoors.

Ideally, indoor tanning is also supervised by a trained professional whose primary goal is to help you achieve the desired color you want and help you avoid over-exposure.

Image Tan conducts an evaluation of your skin type to determine your recommended personal UV exposure time. We will remind you to wear protective goggles, encourage the use of a lotion (before and after tanning), and recommend the appropriate lotions to use.

Why Use Indoor Tanning Lotion?

Using a lotion while tanning in a salon is equally important as when tanning outdoors, but operates on a different premise. While tanning delivers the highly desirable color and relaxing benefits that tanners seek, the heated environment of the tanning bed can be very drying to the skin.

Throughout the tanning process, it is very important to replenish the skin with moisture and nutrients. Using a lotion that is specifically formulated for indoor tanning use with hydrating and skin-repairing ingredients is essential for proper skin care and to help achieve a healthier-looking, longer-lasting tan.

Indoor tanners should diligently and carefully apply lotions both before AND after tanning. The type of lotion used is also important, and varies by the method of tanning chosen as well as by skin type.
