How long to use a sunbed for
It is recomended that people new to sunbeding start of at 6 minutes for fair skined people, if someone is used to tanning and has dark skin they might want to start at 9 minutes and built it up to 12. To reduce the dangers of getting a tan you might want to try using the Spray Tan, which has no dangers.
Why is keeping skin moisturised essential to great tanning results?
Skin loses moisture through the epidermis and sweat glands. Cell renewal and the natural moisturising factor balances moisture loss. It's necessary for skin to maintain 10 -20% water to avoid dry skin conditions. Dry skin is rough, tight and may show signs of wrinkles. Rough skin appears dull and may also refract light. Moisturisers aim to improve the hydration of the skin and thus make the skin smoother and more elastic which will improve tanning results.
Why use a bronzer
Natural tans can take 24-48 hours to develop, where bronzers only take between 2-4 hours and they are also excellent for evening out skin tones.
After a Spray Tan
After a spray tan don't let your skin get wet for 3 hours after the spray tan.
