FAQ’s

Why should I tan?

There can be many different personal reasons why someone tans. A few popular ones are to prepare your skin for sunlight on a vacation.

It is also a great source of Vitamin D during the long winter months in the Copper Country!

What do I wear while I am tanning?

Most people choose to tan nude to prevent tan lines. However, it is important to remember that skin not regularly exposed to UV light will be more sensitive and a tan should be built slowly in these areas of your body.

One way to do this is to cover these portions of your body half way through your tanning session.

It is also important to always wear protective eyewear. We always have a sanitized set for you to borrow!!

How often can I tan?

The FDA suggest that you only tan once per 24-hour period. Therefore, our software programs will prevent anyone from tanning more than once within 24 hours.

Did you know, this wait time actually maximizes color development?!

If you are still red from a previous tan, we also recommend you wait, until skin conditions have returned to normal to prevent damaging your skin.
