Smart Indoor Tanning Practices 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. California Tan’s mission is to help salon professionals obtain the training and expertise to help you enjoy the positive effects of moderate tanning. The tanning salon you visit should conduct an evaluation of your skin type to determine your recommended personal UV exposure time. They should also remind you to wear protective goggles, encourage the use of a lotion (before and after tanning), and recommend the appropriate lotions to use. As a consumer, you should be selective when choosing a tanning salon, making sure that it is a professional establishment that follows responsible practices. 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 these lotions both before AND after tanning. The type of lotion used is also important, and varies by the method of tanning one chooses as well as by skin type. California Tan offers a complete range of indoor tanning products available only at salons, specifically developed for use with tanning beds. These indoor tanning products have the following characteristics: ” Contain more advanced ingredients than most outdoor tanning products. ” Deliver the extra skin care benefits essential to indoor tanners due to a high content of hydrating skin conditioners that help restore lost nutrients and condition the skin. ” Incorporate specially designed tanning technologies that help encourage the tanning process for the appearance of richer, longer-lasting results.
