A Tropi Tan tan
is a healthy-looking tan!
Our tanning consultants are trained to help you achieve a
tan that looks good, and that you'll feel good about.
By following our exposure schedules, you can develop a great
tan without burning. If you have any questions or concerns
about your progress, please don’t hesitate to ask a tanning
consultant.
Here are some tips for getting better results and protecting
your skin's health during the tanning process:
- Moisture is the key to a healthy-looking tan! Tanning
lotions prepare your skin for UV exposure and reduce the drying
effects of the tanning process. They also contain ingredients
that promote the production of melanin in your skin, and special
vitamins that keep your skin healthy. Tropi Tan Tanning Salons
carry a variety of lotions and moisturizers specifically designed
for indoor tanners at every level.
- If you plan to tan in the nude, you should expose sensitive
areas of your body gradually during your tanning sessions
to avoid sunburn.
- Your lips produce very little melanin and are prone to
UV-overexposure, so you should always protect them with a
sunscreen. SPF lip balms are available at all Tropi Tan Tanning
Salons.
- Many products we all use every day – such as makeup
and perfume – contain ingredients that can make your
skin more susceptible to sunburn (photosensitive). Common
prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications can also
cause photosensitizing reactions. Our tanning consultants
have a list of such medications for your review.
PROTECT YOUR EYES!
Your eyelids are not thick enough to protect your eyes from
UV damage! Simply keeping your eyes closed while tanning will
NOT prevent serious damage. The very thin skin and underlying
membrane of the eyelid do not keep UV rays from penetrating
the eye, potentially burning the cornea and doing more severe
damage to the lens and retina. In addition to night vision
loss, excessive unprotected exposure to UV light will also
damage color vision and can even result in cancer on the eyelids.
Covering your face with a towel or T-shirt will not block
enough of the UV rays to prevent damage, either.
We make it easy to protect your eyes! Several styles of FDA compliant
eye protection are available at all Tropi Tan Tanning Salons, and you
are required to wear it during every tanning session. Don’t worry
about getting “raccoon eyes” – this can be easily avoided
by slightly repositioning your eye protection once or twice during your
session.
