Always! Tanning lotion accelerates & enhances the tanning process by moisturizing the skin, allowing for a longer lasting tan. Some tanning lotions enhancers such as, tingle/cooling to increase the amount of UV exposure. Tanning without lotion only reflects the UV light from dry skin. 

The number of times that you tan to build a base or to maintain your color depends on how well your skin tans, what type of equipment you use and what type of lotion is used when tanning. The average person needs to tan about 3-4 times per week to build a base, and then 1-2 times per week to maintainance the color. 

​

Tanning is a process and will be different for everyone depending on skin types! 

Closing your eyelids is not adequate protection; your eyelids are too thin to block UV light. Over a period of time, tanning without wearing eye protection can cause yourself harm.

Are you using a lotion when tanning? Once you feel that you have reached a "plateu" you can switch your lotion from an accelerator to a bronzing lotion, or bronzing to tingle produts. We suggest looking into a higher level of bed to increase tanning results - which will provide the different levels of UVA and UVB exposure.
