There are various kinds of tanning beds out there, from laydown and standup, to mega, ultra bronzing, high pressure, red light, and more; so as a first-time tanning bed user, these options can feel quite overwhelming. For this reason, tanning salons generally recommend using a laydown, or <em>standard<\/em>, bed for your first indoor tanning experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you are new to using a tanning bed, continue reading for a simple, step-by-step process on how to get the best results at your local tanning salon!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1962-e1564153839674.jpg\" alt=\"Indianapolis Tanning Salon 317-257-8262\" class=\"wp-image-499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1962-e1564153839674.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1962-e1564153839674-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Indianapolis Tanning Salon 317-257-8262<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Your first step begins before you even leave the house! Think about what you are going to wear <em>to<\/em> the tanning salon, as well as, what you are going to wear <em>in<\/em> the tanning bed. See our last blog, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/what-should-i-wear-in-a-tanning-bed\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"What Should I Wear in a Tanning Bed? (opens in a new tab)\">What Should I Wear in a Tanning Bed?<\/a>\u201d for information and tips on tanning bed attire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tanning Lotions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know what your attire will be, your next step is to choose a tanning product. Or, you can choose to forgo tanning lotions altogether. Just be sure to still incorporate some form of SPF protection or sunscreen, as you can still burn in a tanning bed just like you would in the natural sun. See our blog, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/3-types-of-indoor-tanning-lotions\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"3 Types of Indoor Tanning Lotions (opens in a new tab)\">3 Types of Indoor Tanning Lotions<\/a>\u201d to learn more about tanning lotion options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arriving at the Salon<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon arriving at the salon, you will check in and pay at the\ncounter. Tell them you would like to do a <em>standard\nbed<\/em>, and then discuss how long you would like to tan. You will tan similar in\na bed as you would in the sun, so keep this in mind when choosing a time limit.\nFor first timers, it is recommended to go for 10 minutes, and then see how you\nfeel. If you tan well, you can opt for 15 to 20 minutes. When your check-in is\ncomplete, you will be instructed to a room. Before heading to your room, be\nsure to grab a pair of gold eye protection stickers on the counter. These are\nfree, and they work very well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> If you need to use the restroom, do so before heading to your room. There are guest bathrooms in the back of the salon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inside Your Room<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get inside your room, close the door and be sure it\nis locked. You can choose to turn on the radio next to the head of the bed,\nbefore getting started. Now with your tunes set, remove your clothing to reveal\nthe attire you have chosen to tan in, and then apply your tanning lotion (or sunscreen),\nif you choose to. Next, head to the wall and press the button that starts your\ntanning bed. Then sit on the bed and apply your eye protection stickers, following\nthe instructions on the back of the wrapper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tanning<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Now just lay down, close the top of the tanning bed on top\nof your, and RELAX! You can adjust the speed of the fans and monitor the time\nleft from inside the bed as you tan. Keep in mind, if you are in a bed with a\nface tanner, once you turn it off, it will not come back on. When the bed shuts\noff, get out, wipe yourself down with the towel provided, and toss your eye\nstickers in the trashcan. After getting dressed, you are welcome to use the complimentary\ndeodorants, hairsprays, and face wipes provided in the back of the tanning\nsalon. These amenities are great for those who have to go back to work or run\nadditional errands for the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Get a Safe Indoor Tan in Broad Ripple<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call Broad Ripple Tans at 317-257-8262<\/strong> to ask us about our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/tanning-beds.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Indianapolis tanning beds (opens in a new tab)\">Indianapolis tanning beds<\/a> and specials this month.
