How to Tan Dark at a Tanning Salon

Tan with or without a bathing suit --- either is acceptable.

Tanning at a tanning salon is quick and convenient. In less than about 10 minutes, you can get a great natural looking tan without the hassle of laying in the sun for hours. To achieve a deep, dark tan, it takes consistent tanning and maintenance before and after tanning.

Things You'll Need

• Tanning bed
• Tanning lotion

Instructions

1. Visit the tanning salon consistently to develop a base tan. Six to eight tanning sessions within a two-week period should be able to yield a deep, dark base tan. Depending on your skin type, or if you have a difficult time tanning, separate each session by no more than a day or two.

2. Build up your resistance to the UVA and UVB rays found in a tanning bed. This resistance will result in a darker tan. Stay in the bed for as long as you can before burning.

3. Purchase an indoor tanning lotion to accelerate your results. Indoor tanning lotions have specific ingredients that only work under the lamps of a tanning bed. Not only will this lotion help you achieve a darker tan, it will keep your skin moisturized while you tan.

4. Maintain your base tan. Tan at least twice in a week with maximum intensity.

5. Keep your skin hydrated. Moisturize your skin with body lotion after tanning. Supple skin tans better and keeps your dark tan longer because you are less likely to have dry skin.
