Tanning Bed
Self serve Tanning Bed, UVB, and UVA
SunBed
Because of their power – and the fact that they simulate UVA rays vs. UVB rays – they can actually penetrate the skin on a deeper level than the sun. This is why ten minutes in a tanning bed equates to about two hours of direct sun exposure.

How Do We Tan?
Tanning happens when your skin is exposed to two different kinds of UV light: UVA and UVB. UVA oxidizes melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its tone, while UVB triggers melanin production. Both types of UV play an important role in the tanning process, and getting the balance right is crucial to a good look.

Tan Wisely
The sun has been considered a symbol of vitality for millennia, and for good reason: its light energizes and stimulates not only our world, but us as well. But, like anything else, it’s important to enjoy it responsibly. Speak with one of our Tanning Experts and we’ll make sure you have a tanning program that is both responsible and achieves results.

Before Tanning Tips
Whether you’ve been tanning for a while or this is your first foray, we’ve put together a handful of helpful tips to put you on the right foot. Learn how long to tan, what to do after you tan and more.
- Exfoliate and Shave (1–2 days prior): Use a scrub or exfoliating mitt, but avoid doing this immediately before as it can cause sensitivity.
- Remove Makeup & Products: Cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove makeup, deodorant, and perfumes, which can block UV rays and cause uneven color.
- Apply Indoor Tanning Lotion: Use a dedicated indoor tanning lotion—never sunscreen or outdoor oil—to hydrate skin and deepen results by up to 40%.
- Use Proper Eye Protection: Wear FDA-approved tanning goggles to protect your eyes, as closing them is not enough.
- Check Medications: Ensure you are not taking medications that cause UV sensitivity.
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before your session to prevent dehydration.
- Protect New Tattoos: Use a small towel or high-SPF sunscreen to protect tattoos.

The Naked Truth
Once you’re in the privacy of your own tanning room, you can get as naked as you’d like. Just a heads up, though: if you choose to go completely nude, be sure to cover areas not typically exposed to the sun.
Tanning lotion Tips
Apply indoor tanning lotion evenly over all areas of your body. Our Tanning Experts can connect you with the best skincare products to extend the life of your tan. Just make sure that the lotion you use is an indoor tanning lotion—lotions not made for indoor tanning can damage the tanning beds and will not help you develope your tan.
Protect those eyes
We want you to see how good you look after your session. That’s why we have to insist that you wear protective eyewear. And it’s not just us: it’s required by law. You’ll find complimentary protective goggles for use on each tanning bed.
