"Hello! My name is Melissa. I'm here at Maui Tan in Atlanta. We have two locations. This is our Vinings location. Our other location is in Midtown Atlanta. Here we offer UVB-free beds, Mystique spray tans, all sorts of products and a great knowledge about tanning. Now, I'm going to tell you how to get a dark tan in a tanning bed. Using a lotion in the tanning beds always helps increase the color of light absorbed. But if you're looking for a really dark tan you may try using a lotion with a bronzing such as our lover perfect from the Devoted One. Some lotions contain bronzing beads which help ensure the evenness and no streaks. You might want to try using a bed with a little bit more UVB output. This is a more stimulant bed which helps create the melanin that gives you that nice, dark tan. Be sure when using a lotion with bronzers to completely rub it in evenly and always wipe your hands on your towel when you're done using the lotion."
