THE TANNING BASICS:

What is tanning?

Tanning takes place in the skin’s outermost layer, the epidermis, with special cells called melanocytes. When exposed to UV-B light (short wave ultraviolet), melanocytes produce the pigment, melanin. The pinkish melanin travels up through the epidermis and is absorbed by other skin cells. When exposed to UV-A light (longer wave), melanin oxidizes or darkens. This is your skin’s way of protecting itself against too much UV light.

Why does a tan fade?

The tan or pigmentation process occurs in the epidermis, the top skin layer.  Cells in the epidermis are constantly reproducing and pushing older cells upward toward the surface of your skin, where they slough off in about one month. As your skin replaces its cells, the cells laden with melanin are removed. A  tan will progressively fade without repeated exposure to UV light.

Finding your skin type:

Type I: Extremely fair skin, always burns, and never tans.
You are extremely susceptible to the UV radiation. Your are at risk for an early onset of skin damage, that may results in photo aging as well as cancers. Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, and Melanoma are the most common types of skin cancer. Practicing the SunSmart America™ Rules is your best option, but use a sun block with a SPF of 30+ and clothing with a UPF rating of 30 or higher. Don’t forget your hat, sunglasses and to seek shade whenever possible! Perform a monthly self exam of your skin, and an annual visit to a Dermatologist.
 
Type II: Fair skin, always burns, and tans minimally.
You are susceptible to skin damage as well as cancers like Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, and Melanoma. Practicing the SunSmart America™ Rules is your best option, but it is better if you use a sun block with a SPF of 30+ and clothing with a UPF rating of 30 or higher. Don’t forget your hat, sunglasses and to seek shade whenever possible. Perform a monthly self exam of your skin, and an annual visit to a Dermatologist.
 
Type III: Medium skin, burns moderately, tans gradually to light brown.
You are susceptible to skin damage as well as cancers like Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, and Melanoma. Practicing the SunSmart America™ Rules is your best option, choose a sun block with an SPF of 15 or more every day, wear a hat, sun-protective clothing, and sunglasses. Seek shade when possible. Perform a monthly self exam of your skin, and an annual visit to a Dermatologist.

Type IV: Olive skin, burns minimally, always tans to moderately brown.
You are at moderate risk for photo aging and other sun-induced skin problems. While melanoma is uncommon in African-Americans, Latinos, and Asians, it is most deadly for these populations because it is more likely to develop undetected. Practicing the SunSmart America™ Rules is your best option, choose a sun block with an SPF of 15 or more every day, wear a hat, sun-protective clothing, and sunglasses. Seek shade when possible. Do a monthly self exam of your skin, and an annual visit to a Dermatologist.
 
Type V: Dark brown skin, rarely burns, and tans profusely to dark & Type VI: Deeply pigmented dark brown to black skin that never burns:
Least sensitive to the UV light. However, everybody has some risk. Use sun block with an SPF of 15+, wear a hat, and seek shade when out for long periods of time. While melanoma is uncommon in African-Americans, Latinos, and Asians, it is most deadly for these populations because it is more likely to develop undetected. Do a monthly self exam of your skin with especial attention on palms, soles, and mucous membranes. It is recommended that you visit annually a Dermatologist.


Do I have to wear eyewear?

We require that all tanners wear FDA approved eyewear while tanning. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest skin on your body, and UV light can easily penetrate that skin to reach your eyes. Repeated, unprotected exposure to UV light may cause long-term damage to your eyes, and that is why we require all tanners to wear eyewear every time they tan.

Why should I use lotion?

Indoor tanning lotions are specifically designed for the indoor tanning industry; they contain ingredients to assist in achieving maximum tanning results. They are designed not only to maximize and accelerate great tanning results, but most importantly replace essential nutrients, minerals and lost moisture to your skin. Lotions also contain antioxidants to shield free radical damage to your skin.
