hygiene prcautions to tanning?

Answer 1

Hygiene is important. If you use a lay-down type Bed then you must make sure you clean it before you use is. This removes nasty body infections such as scabies and things like sweat, cream or dead skin. There should be a spray cleaner and some tissue paper in the tan room for you to do this.

If you use a stand-up type bed then remember to take in some flat sandals and stand on top of them, this helps prevent the spread of foot infections such as verruca's and fungus.

For your body, then you should not use a tan bed within 4 hours of bathing as your skins pores are open and this can lead to burning. It is not recommended that you bathe for 24 hours after using a tan bed so that your skin has time to settle down and your tan can take. For example, if you have fair sensitive skin or it is your first time on a tan bed then use a non - tingle cream and only tan for short periods of 5 - 10 Min's depending on the strength of the bulbs in the bed, not too often either. Always moisturise afterwards. If you have a base colour then I suggest a tan bed is used once or twice a week for no more than 15 Min's total this will help maintain you tan.

The tan shop should be able to advise you.
