This might sound stupid,


but when tanning in the bed can you still get a sunburnt?


I'm fairly light, and I usually tend to sunburn then get a tan.

Unfortunately, you can still get sunburned from a tanning bed.





In order to prevent my clients from getting overexposed, I usualy take the following precautions.





1) I carefully analyze their skin type. If they are fair skinned with freckles, we start their tanning sessions at a very low time. Someone with medium skin, however, can usually have a higher exposure time. Same goes for those with Hispanic heritage or Mediterranian heritage.


2) We discuss their ability to tan outdoors. If the client can gradually build a tan outdoors, then they will likely have success from our salon. We talk about how their skin reacts to the sun and how or if it turns red, etc.


3) We choose a high quality indoor tanning lotion. These products will improve their ability to absorb UV by up to 80%. While there is no SPF or protection from burning, this product will give my client a deeper, darker, and more healthier looking tan.


4) Eyewear. Eyewear. Eyewear. I do not allow a client to go back to their tanning room without protective eyewear. Exposing your eyes (eyelids provide NO proctecion. neither do cotton balls, towels, or coins) to UV light can cause irreversible eye damage and possible blindness.


5) Start tanning! My first time client will then be taken back to their tanning room and given a tour of the equipment. I will show them all of the controls to the unit and how to adjust the fans and the music. I make sure that the client is comfortable with the exposure time and then they are ready to tan.





It is with these tools that I believe that I am offering each and every client a healthier and smarter tanning session.





Happy Tanning!

Yes, you could easily get sunburned if you have fair skin. The key to tanning in a bed is to work your way up to staying in the bed longer this will help prevent getting burnt. For example if you have very fair skin you should start off with 6 minutes then work your way up.
Reply:im also fairly light, when you first go on there you may be red but the next day you will appear browner, i usually go there when it is dark so no one can see me.
Reply:you most certainly can get burnt in a tanning bed.
Reply:Solarium is a better choice than the sun for people who tend on receiving sunburn. Apply suncare lotion prior to using the tan bed, to diminish the possibility of sunburn. If you have light skin and you are planning on using the tan bed for the first time, I suggest you have your first session no longer than ten minutes, due to blemishes may appear on your skin and you may risk fainting yourself. After two sessions of tanning you can gradually increase the session period. This may take you six sessions (eighty minutes) to obtain a dazzling and good-looking tan.
