What are some tips for using a tanning bed?

Tanning bed tips include following the manufacturer's guidelines and exfoliating the skin under a dermatologist's guidance.

Follow guidelines determine by the manufacturer and go slow. It takes time to develop a tan. Plan ahead to make sure you give yourself enough time to develop the tan without hurting yourself. Ask questions, use products, protect your lips, and wear your eye wear.


At some pint you certainly should use exfoliates with certain oils. It's necessary to keep your skin healthy. If you exfoliate too much, too often you'll strip too much away and risk over-drying or damage to the skin. Your skin exfoliates on its own cycle between 16 days and 28 days depending where you live. A dermatologist would know more how to explain the process, but it depends on the area, humidity level, and things like that.
