Indoor Tanning for Fair Skin

Lots of people feel more attractive with a sun-kissed glow.  Most fair skinned people are afraid that their skin may burn from UV exposure because they have less melanin than those with a darker complexion.  Melanin is a pigment that absorbs and gives color to the skin and protects the skin from radiation. 

You do not have to harm or burn your fair skin to achieve a nice tan.  Although, selecting the right bed and the right exposure time is important factor.  The most important thing to understand is why you need to use lotion in the first place.  When you tan you are exposing your skin to damaging UV rays.  Without preparing yourself, you put your skin at a higher risk for burning and possibly a variety of other skin conditions. 

When choosing the right lotion to use on fair skin, do not shock your delicate skin by using intense bronzer or tingle tanning lotions.  Start with a step 1 accelerator lotion.  This will prevent your skin from becoming irritated because your skin will gradually get used to tanning. 

An example of a great beginner lotion is Devoted Creations Blonde Obsession.  This dark tanning maximizer utilizes the skin toning and tightening benefits to fight skin’s sagging and reduces the appearance of cellulite.  Intense tanning stimulators will ensure a perfect, just from the beach tan while the anti-aging benefits will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for long lasting youthful skin.

Turn to a trained tanning consultant to help you choose the best lotion for your skin type.  They can also assist you in choosing the right bed and the ideal amount of tanning time.  Most salons have upper and lower beds to choose from.  The higher beds will cost more but tend to burn less and brown more than the lower level models.  As far as how long your sessions should be do not go over 5 minutes for you first initial tan.  You should not go tanning more than once in a 24 hour period, this will prevent any over exposure.  Once your body gets used to tanning, you can slowly increase the length of your sessions.
