Tanning

"Sunlight is good for you"

Whether you tan indoors or outdoors, the process is the same.  Ultraviolet rays stimulate skin cells to produce melanin, the pigment that makes your skin tan.

There are two types of ultraviolet light rays - UVA and UVB.  Different indoor tanning units use different combinations of these two tanning rays.  Whatever the combination, your exposure times are regulated by the federal government to minimize your risk of sunburn or overexposure.

Smart tanning involves following the exposure schedule designed for your skin type and avoiding sunburn by tanning gradually.

By controlling the type and amount of UV light you receive in our salon, there's no doubt that this is the best, smartest place to acquire a tan.  But there are some precautions you should take to maximize your enjoyment of your tanning visits

• PROTECT YOUR EYES - Simply closing them or wearing outdoor sunglasses while you tan is not adequate protection against possible long-term eye injury.  Wearing the FDA-compliant eye protection provided by Tanning Oasis can eliminate that risk.
• PROTECT YOUR LIPS - They do not produce melanin and will burn easily unless you protect them with lip balms or sunscreen.
• MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN - The heat and light from tanning sessions can dry your skin.  Because moist skin tans best, we recommend you moisturize before with a lotion designed for indoor tanning acceleration and after each tanning session with an extender to get the most out of each visit.  It is also important to use a tan extender after showering.  Please keep in mind that mineral oil (very common in moisturizers) is VERY damaging to indoor tanning beds.  TANNING OASIS PROHIBITS THE USE OF PRODUCTS CONTAINING MINERAL OIL.
• If you plan to tan in the nude, cover previously unexposed areas for the majority of your tanning session for the first few visits.  Gradually increase exposure to these areas, giving the skin time to build melanin production
• If you are taking any medications, please let Tanning Oasis know.  Some medications can cause reactions with UV light, so it is important that you tell us.  Please view our list of Photosensitizing Medications.
