ABOUT INDOOR UV TANNING |
How long can
I stay in the tanning bed
the first time?
This depends
on your Individual and
Unique Skin Type. You will
complete a skin type
analysis with a Heat Zone
consultant to determine your
individual skin type, from
level one to six. Based on
your skin type, our
consultant will recommend
and regulate the tanning
time that is best for your
skin. Your tanning time
also depends on the units
that best fit your tanning
needs.
How quickly
can I increase my
tanning time after my first
session?
If you do
well your first time in the
tanning bed and do not
experience any redness, most
of our clients are able to
increase their time by 2-3
minutes each time thereafter
until reaching the maximum
tan time for that particular
bed.
Which beds
can I use my first time at
Heat Zone ?
First time
Heat Zone
customers may
use any level of our UV or
spa equipment that suits
their needs. Based on your
skin type analysis and
tanning goals, our
consultants will determine
your initial tan time and
tanning bed. After building
a base tan, most of our
members use a
combination of units to
achieve the best results.
How often can
I tan?
You may tan
every day if you wish, as
long as you wait 24 hours
between each tan. This is a
manufacturer's
recommendation that
Heat Zone
follows in
order to prevent
overexposure, and it
includes outdoor tanning as
well. Our system will keep
a detailed record of your
tanning history, and we will
advise you if you have not
waited the full 24 hours. |
PROTECTING
YOUR EYES
Do
I have to wear eyewear while tanning
indoors?
Yes, your eyes are very sensitive to
UV light and should not be exposed
while tanning. Sunglasses, towels,
cotton balls, and closing your eyes
are not adequate protection in a
tanning unit. UV-light is
responsible for both short and
long-term injury to the eyes and can
easily be avoided by properly using
FDA-certified eyewear.
Heat Zone carries several types of
eyewear, and your tanning consultant
will gladly recommend the best
eyewear option for you.
ALWAYS MOISTURIZE & USE LOTION
What is the purpose of using lotion
in the tanning bed? How will it
benefit me? Is it necessary?
The
purpose of using a tanning
accelerator/lotion is to keep your
skin moisturized and to provide you
with maximum tanning results. Dry
skin reflects UV light, so if you
are not using an indoor tanning
tanning accelerator, you can lose up
to 50% of your tanning session.
Can I just use a regular moisturizer
or a tanning lotion purchased from a
drugstore?
To
lock in moisture and enhance your
tanning results, you should always
moisturize your skin following each
tanning session. We recommend Heat
Zone endorsed moisturizers over any
drugstore-bought moisturizer, for
the added benefit of enhanced
tanning ingredients.
Lotions offer many
minerals and nutrients that are key
in developing and maintaining
healthy skin.
Australian Gold, and Swedish Beauty
accelerators and moisturizers are
sold in our salons and have many
beneficial ingredients such as:
Co-Enzyme Q-10, hemp seed oil,
encapsulated Vitamin C and Aloe
Vera.
What is TINGLE?
Tingle is an ingredient, also called
Benzyl or Methyl Nicotinate, that is
included in some tanning lotions.
Tingle lotions increase the
microcirculation in the epidermis,
so that more oxygen gets to your
skin. Because your skin needs oxygen
to tan, the more oxygen your skin
gets, the darker you will get.
Will using a tanning lotion increase
my chance of burning?
Since tanning lotions are designed
to be used for indoor tanning, they
do not include an SPF. Using tanning
lotion indoors, in a controlled
environment, allows you to maximize
your tanning results while
minimizing your chances of
overexposure.
Your professional and knowledgeable
Heat Zone tanning consultant will
set the exposure time that is
best for your skin type and
recommend an appropriate tanning
lotion. Using an indoor tanning
lotion will help you to tan faster,
tan darker, and stay tan longer.
What makes an accelerator tan you
faster?
The
indoor tanning lotions that we offer
help your skin to absorb UV light,
as well as fight free-radical damage
and fine lines. Our lotions contain
high quality ingredients, vitamins
and nutrients that are needed for
healthy skin. REMEMBER - healthy
skin tans faster, tans darker and
stays tan longer.
What can I do FOR THE BEST RESULTS
AND A LONG-LASTING TAN?
MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE.
Using a high quality moisturizer
will help replenish the vitamins and
nutrients that are lost during the
tanning session, keeping your skin
smooth and younger looking while
helping you maintain the color that
you love. Another secret: switch
your tanning lotion and boost your
color with spay tanning session
every two weeks.
