Take the following precautions when UV Tanning to safely achieve optimum results:
- Protect your lips with lip balms or sunscreens.
- While tanning in the nude, cover previously unexposed areas for the majority of your tanning
time for the first few visits. Gradually increase exposure to these areas until they catch up with
the rest.
- While taking any medications, please let one of our staff members know. Some medications can
cause reactions with UV light. For a list of medications that may react with UV light click here.
- Most importantly, protect your eyes! Simply closing them while you tan is not adequate protection
against the harmful effects UV light may have. Damage to your eyes may not be noticed for months or
even years.
- The possibility of eye damage can easily be eliminated by protecting them when you tan. The eye
protection we provide at all iTAN Solariums meets FDA regulations by blocking 99.9% of UVB and 99% of
UVA. Because want you to safely develop a healthy tan, we insist that you use eye protection every time you tan.
- Although indoor tanning uses the best blend of ultraviolet light, the combination of heat and
light can dry your skin. Moisturize your skin to get the most out of each visit, or consider using our
Hydration Station.
- Do not rush your tan. A tan should be obtained gradually to avoid damage to the skin and sunburn.
Gradually increase your exposure time and do not tan burned skin.
