If you are taking medications, check with your doctor or pharmacy for any possible adverse reactions.

Never spend significant time in the sun on the same day you use a tanning bed and do not exceed the recommended exposure time per day. Over-Exposure is the enemy that can lead to wrinkling and possible skin cancer.

Always wear the FDA approved goggles, provided in the tanning units, to protect your eyes. Closed lids can not block the UV rays. Also, protect your lips with a SPF lip balm.

Protect sensitive parts of your body that have not been exposed to sunlight such as buttocks and breasts. These areas should be covered half of the time for the first several tanning sessions.

Drink plenty of fluids before and after tanning, to replenish skin moisture content and to keep from dehydrating.

If your skin looks red, feels tight or tingly, rest it for a day and reduce the tan time on your next visit. Use good common sense.
