This also lets you experience a tanning salon with little risk to make sure it is an environment that you are comfortable with. ![]() One key to getting a perfect tan is choosing the right tanning lotion. This can be tough because there are literally hundreds available on the market at any given time. In order to make a good choice, there are a few things that you should consider. The first thing is what type of skin you have. If you are fair skinned, you will want to use a lotion that offers plenty of protection to your skin because you are much more prone to burning. Stay away from high powered lotions like those that advertise tingle. People with medium or olive skin should choose a lotion that accelerates tan but isn't too strong. You can use tingle lotions, but get the low strength ones. Your skin is harder to burn but is still can be burnt. Finally those with dark skin have the least to worry about. You should start with a medium strength tanner at first, but you can quickly change to a high powered tan accelerator with little trouble. Avoid using questionable products like baby oil or hair spray. These can literally cook your skin and are dangerous for anyone to use during tanning. Length of Time If you are just starting to tan, talk to the employee at the salon for advice. They will be able to give you information about how long you should stay based on your skin type. Seven or eight minutes is a good time to start with. Going full force right away can cause even the darkest skin to burn. Gradually up your time each time you go to the salon until you can do 15- 20 minutes with no problem. If your skin begins to tingle at any time during the process you have been in too long. Ad this point, go ahead and stop tanning early to prevent damage to your skin After You Tan After you tan there are some steps you can take to make sure your skin gets more tan. Unfortunately you will sweat when in the tanning bed, despite this, avoid showering right after you get out. Instead wait at least 3 hours. This is because your skin is still producing melanin and showering can stop this process. When you do shower you should use a great skin moisturizer to make sure your skin does not dry out. A good product to use is cocoa butter or Shea butter.
