From the hygienic condition of the salon to what you should wear in a tanning bed, and everything in between, whatever you are pondering, others have pondered before as well. Below are some of the most common questions asked by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/tanning-bed-basics-for-beginner-tanners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first-time tanning clients<\/a>. Use these answers as your go-to guide to indoor sunless tanning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Are the Tanning Beds Clean? How Do I Know?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For any service that involves a rotating customer base, it is natural to question hygiene and cleanliness. As for your tanning bed, you will know it is clean by how the bed is set. There should be a clean folded or rolled towel on the bed, along with a little sign that says <em>I have been cleaned<\/em>. Of course, this will vary from salon to salon, but our salon in particular, we make sure our clients know that the bed has been cleaned with precision prior to their session. We fully sanitize every surface area of our tanning booths and beds between each client session, using only FDA and EPA approved products. Our tanning towels are cleaned after every use with top-of-the-line, non-toxic detergents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">How Do I Prepare to Tan Indoors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you come in for your indoor tanning session, whether for UV tanning or spray tanning, it is important that you be prepared. First, you will want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-prepping-your-skin-before-spray-tanning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prep your skin<\/a> by exfoliating and moisturizing 24 to 48 hours before your session. Clean, exfoliated skin will generate the best tanning results. In addition to exfoliating and moisturizing, you will want to do hair removal before your tanning session, but not right before. If you plan to shave or wax before tanning session, be sure to do so 12 to 24 hours ahead of time. This will give your skin time to calm down before exposing it to UV light or skin pigmentation solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">What Do I Wear in a Tanning Bed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/what-should-i-wear-in-a-tanning-bed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What to wear during tanning<\/a> is one of the most common questions among tanning clients. The answer this question really depends on personal preference. Whether you are spray tanning, laying down in a bed, or using a booth, the clothing format you choose will depend on your comfort and tanning objectives. A lot of tanning clients like to avoid tan lines, so they prefer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/frequently-asked-questions-about-tanning-in-the-nude\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tan nude<\/a> or in a swimsuit. Other tanning clients prefer to tan in their underwear. The choice is yours, as there are no rules. For beginners, it is recommended to start in your swimsuit. From there, modify your tanning approach to meet your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time you tan, it is important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-tanning-bed-eye-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wear eye protection<\/a>. You can opt for the complimentary golden eye stickers at the counter, or you can buy your own tanning goggles. Do not worry about tan lines! They will not be too noticeable. You can also wear tanning lotion, sunscreen, and even stickers for a fun tan line! Did you know you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/how-to-use-self-tanner-to-contour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contour with tanning<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Is Spray Tanning Better Than Tanning in Beds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing between spray tanning and using a tanning bed really depends on your personal preferences in terms of your complexion goals and skin type. Talk to one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Broad Ripple tanning consultants<\/a> to learn which tanning approach would best meet your needs. For beginners, it is recommended to try both, separate in time from one another, and then determine which result and experience you liked better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who have aging concerns, spray tanning is a great option because your skin is not being exposed to any UVA or UVB light. Spray tanning is also a great choice for someone who deals with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/tanning-tips-for-sensitive-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">skin sensitivities<\/a> because there is no risk of subsequent sun burning or adverse reactions to using a tanning bed, like tanning bed rash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not tan evenly, spray tanning may interest you more because you can get a uniform color in every session. For those who really like the way their skin reacts to the natural sun, tanning beds are the perfect option. Just keep in mind that if you do not tan in the sun, you are not likely to tan a tanning bed. In such case, you would be a better candidate for spray tanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">How Do I Tan in a Bed or Booth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using a lay down style tanning bed, you can choose to lay on your stomach or on your back. Choose the position that is most comfortable for you, because once your session begins, it is not recommended to move around a lot. If you are using a stand up style booth, whether UV or automated spray tanning, you can choose to face forward or backwards, just be sure to keep your arms up. Some automated spray tanning booths require you to face a certain way, so be sure to ask your tanning consultant before initiating the session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">How Can I Make My Tan Last as Long as Possible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Extending your tanning results is easy to do with the proper knowledge, products, and discipline. To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-spray-tan-last-longer\/\">make your <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-spray-tan-last-longer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tan <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-spray-tan-last-longer\/\">last longer<\/a>, you need to stick with a quality skincare regime that includes daily moisturization.
