Okay first of all, Dont be fooled when people advise to go lay outside instead of tanning bed because its ';safer';. Simply put, The same thing that comes out of the sun to make you tan, is what comes out of tanning beds. Both emit UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are known as the bronzing rays, and UVB are the burn rays. The good thing about indoor tanning is that you can control your time in each bed and customize it to be sure you do not burn.





All tanning beds are different. The lower level beds have a high burn rate, and as you go up in levels, that burn rate goes down. I recommend going in a higher level or High Pressure bed, if available. If you insist on doing a low level bed BE SURE to start out very slow, meaning very short tan times. If you go too long and burn, you will only have to wait till it goes away to tan again.





Depending on what level bed you decide to do, you are going to need to ask the employee a couple questions. Find out how new the lamps in the beds are. If they are new, you will burn a lot quicker then if they were older. If the lamps are pretty average, we usually recommend to do half of what the maximum time on the bed is. It also depends on your skin type. If you are olive-toned you could probably do almost full time in a high level bed right away. If you are a redhead with very very pale skin, you should probably start out doing the minimum they allow you to.
No time is safe, any amount of time will damage your skin. Just go outside in the sun (in sun block) when its your day off while its still summer.
