So you’re about to hop into a tanning bed for the first time? You might feel a bit unsure about what to expect.
Maybe your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms heavy just thinking about it. No worries, that’s normal. The glow up is within reach; with proper preparation and know-how, you’ll have an amazing experience and fabulous results.
It all starts with getting yourself ready—so let’s get down to business before you bronze those buns. That’s right: preparing for your session comes first on the agenda
Prepare for Your Tanning Session
Before stepping into a tanning bed for the first time, preparing your skin is key. You should identify your specific skin type to understand how it may tan and react to products differently than others. It’s best to shave with an epilator a few days ahead, allowing for more uniform exposure and longer-lasting results.
Exfoliate using a loofah or body wash for smoother skin. Tanning lotions help protect against UV damage while moisturizing; apply one before your session. As you’ll be exposing bare skin in the tanning bed, wear clothing that allows easy access but covers areas you want protected; don’t forget protective lip balm such as Chapstick with SPF and suitable eyewear.
For post-tan care, consider preparing for tanning sessions with products like a tanning extender to maintain your new bronze tone. This ensures that even after leaving the sunbed, you can uphold that beautiful glow from BR SunSpa facilities.
Maximize Tanning Bed Results
To achieve a beautiful and even tan from a tanning bed, it’s critical to take the proper approach. Consider these expert-recommended strategies for maximizing results while ensuring your skin stays healthy
- Session Strategy: Start with short, spaced-out sessions in the tanning bed; this helps build up color without causing damage. Initially opt for brief exposures—5 minutes or less—especially on beds with high-pressure bulbs that are more intense. Gradually increase time as needed but never exceed recommended limits provided by the salon staff who understand how different skin types react.
- Positioning Perfection: Position yourself evenly during each session to prevent uneven coloring or striping effects common among new users. Follow guidance stickers inside beds for correct placement of arms and legs; rotate slightly if required mid-session to ensure comprehensive coverage across all body areas, which enhances overall consistency in your resulting tan shade.
- Position Maintenance Detail: Strategically reposition at intervals can make a difference—avoid pressing against acrylic shields too firmly in order not only to maintain comfort levels but also to promote uniform UV ray distribution, providing an undistorted finish once you step out from under those lamps! Remember that safety comes first when using indoor sunbeds, so adhere strictly to usage recommendations provided by experts or skincare professionals you consult beforehand.
