Know your time limit. If you stay in too long you will burn and if you do not stay in long enough your tan will be barely visible. Try starting at seven minutes and increasing that time by two minutes until you find the right time limit for you.

2
Wear appropriate garments. If you do not like tan lines consider a "tan through" bikini that will allow the ultraviolet rays to penetrate the fabric or tan in the nude. If you think tan lines are sexy, choose a bikini that covers minimal skin.

Apply tanning lotion before the session. Be sure to use a good indoor tanning lotion that will moisturize the skin and boost your tan. Indoor tanning lotion can often be purchased at the salon.

Protect your eyes. Always wear a protective covering over the eyes. Even if you are only in the tanning bed for a short period of time, the sensitive tissue of the eyes can be permanently damaged if not protected.
