5 most frequently asked questions about tanning beds

A first visit to a tanning salon is often accompanied by many questions and doubts. So, we've compiled the most frequently asked questions about tanning in a tanning salon , which appeared in Google searches. Asking questions is never a bad idea!

How often should you go to a solarium?

If you're looking for a beautiful, radiant tan, we recommend visiting a tanning salon twice a week. Remember, at least 48 hours should pass between each tanning session. Give your skin a rest. As you gain experience, you can allow for longer and more frequent sessions.

How to start tanning in a solarium ?

Above all, remember to properly prepare your skin before your tanning session. Exfoliation, hair removal, and proper hydration are essential. For those who have never tanned in a tanning bed before, we recommend choosing a bed with lower lamp power and minimizing tanning sessions.

Before tanning, it's also worth using professional indoortanning products WITHOUT UV filters. With tanning lotions , your session can be shorter, and you'll still achieve a gorgeous skin tone. Sunphoria's tanning accelerator cream , rich in natural fruit extracts, is perfect for this purpose, as is Tanphoria's bronzing accelerator with coffee extract to maintain your skin's firmness.

How to get a tan quickly?

Everything we mentioned earlier is key to success. To tan quickly, remember to take care of your skin both before and after your visit to the tanning salon.

Adjust the session time and the intensity of the tanning lamps to your preferences and level of experience. If you have any questions, the tanning salon staff is at your disposal. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

And most importantly… choose the right tanning lotion . If you're unsure about the differences between different tanning lotion categories, we encourage you to read one of our previous articles – Accelerator or Bronzer? [CLICK HERE]

Can you sunbathe while pregnant?

The answer is simple: no. You should avoid it, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy, as UV rays can cause problems with the absorption of folic acid, which is crucial at this stage of development. It's also worth consulting your doctor not only about tanning in a solarium, but also about other cosmetic treatments.

How to dress for a solarium?

It's entirely up to you. Remember, however, that covered areas won't tan, which can be a problem when wearing strapless dresses, for example. Therefore, we often recommend that our clients wear a strapless bra or thong to avoid unsightly tan lines.
