SIX STEPS TO THE DARKEST TAN

Step 1: Never tan dry! Dry skin requires 7 minutes for UV light to penetrate the skin and build melanin for a tanning bed to be effective. Using the proper accelerator for your skin type allows UV light to penetrate and start the process in under a minute.  Outdoor products are forbidden in any certified tanning salon.

STEP 2: Start the tanning process with your choice of the highest quality skin care lotions in the industry from California Tan and M-R International. The hot choices for 2008 include iTAN and Sun Skin Spa.  These lotions will jump start the tanning process and get you that golden dark tan quickly while bathing your skin in the finest skin care ever developed for the tanning industry.

STEP 3: If you reach a tanning plateau there are a few simple solutions - lotion rotation and alternating tanning equipment. Your body can build up a tolerance and once you switch lotions and/or alternate between different types of tanning equipment, you will burst through your tanning plateau.

STEP 4: Once you have taken the time to achieve your tan, protect and extend the life of it with the latest moisturizers such as Simply Saturating.  Moisture is the key for longevity of your tan as well as bathing your skin in the vitamins it needs to keep it healthy.

STEP 5. Do not bathe with soap! Body wash is best, our pick is Simply Shower.  Harsh soaps will cause your tan to wash off before its time.

STEP 6: Tan once or twice a week and use a variety of equipment to keep your tan looking natural and dark. Each level emits a different ratio of both UVA/UVB which is essential to a dark long lasting tan. Ask your tanning consultant for a plan that is tailored for you.
