How to Get a Tan at a Tanning Salon

With all of the tanning salons available there is no longer a need for you to risk your health by exposing your skin to the rays of the sun to get a tan. Not only is getting a tan at a tanning salon much safer, but it is also a lot quicker to attain the look you desire.


- Determine if you will feel more comfortable using a vertical bed or a horizontal bed and find a salon in your area that carry the bed of choice.
- The first couple of times that you visit the salon apply a light sunscreen to make sure that you do not get severely burned. You can use your choice of tanning lotion, but make sure it contains tyrosine which is a moisturizer for the skin. It may not be necessary if you have a dark complexion.
- Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes.
- If you are uncomfortable stripping down to your underwear, wear a swimsuit.
- Ask one of the staff members to give you a crash course on how to use the bed if you are unfamiliar with the equipment.
- Get on the bed and shut the lid and use a timer so you will know when it is time to get out.
