Getting Ready for Your Visit
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY SUNBED TAN?
Always shower and exfoliate before your initial tan. We recommend moisturizing regularly leading up to your appointment, as hydrated skin will hold a better tan. Never use outdoor tanning lotion or oils in the beds. They are not designed for indoor tanning. If you have tattoos, apply SPF to your ink to prevent fading.
What can I wear during my session?
You can wear as much or as little as you’d like. Be mindful of sensitive areas that are not accustomed to sunlight. Remember to bring your protective eyewear every time you tan. Lastly, remember to remove jewelry to avoid unwanted tan lines!
Can I wear makeup?
For best results, remove all makeup before your session, but keep the lip balm! Lips can burn easily. Use a lip balm with SPF to help prevent dryness and discomfort.
Your Bronze
When should I start building my base tan?
We recommend establishing your base tan over ten days to achieve the best color.
How often should I tan?
There’s no need to overdo it. It’s not necessary to tan every day. We offer tanning equipment that can maintain your tan in as little as 24 minutes a month! If you’re looking for Vitamin D, up to 15 minutes of UV exposure 2-4 times a week is more than enough to get your fix for an entire week!
HOW CAN I EXTEND THE LIFE OF MY TAN?
Keep skin moisturized and use a tanning extender specifically formulated for sunbed tanning.
Other Concerns
IS SUNBED TANNING REGULATED?
Yes, and we’re sticklers for the rules. Indoor tanning is regulated in the State of Illinois by the Public Health Department. At Unlimited Tan, we follow all Health Department guidelines to minimize overexposure.
Is indoor tanning different than outdoor tanning?
Developing a tan is the body’s natural way to protect against sunburn. Your body receives the same UV light from indoor tanning beds as it does from outdoor sunlight.
Why is indoor tanning better?
It helps eliminate the guesswork. Location, weather, and time of day make sunburn prevention difficult when tanning outdoors.
Any safety tips?
Stop tanning if your skin begins to sting. This can indicate overexposure to UV rays. If you feel like you have been overexposed, use an aloe-based lotion or gel as soon as possible.
VITAMIN D: THE SUNSHINE VITAMIN
WHAT IS VITAMIN D?
- Vitamin D is a nutrient created naturally within our bodies when our skin is exposed to UVB light.
- People with light skin can create as much as 10,000-20,000 units of Vitamin D in their bodies with a single 10-15 minute full-body exposure to direct summer, noonday sunlight.
- Dark-skinned individuals may require more exposure.
- Studies show as many as 77% of Americans and 97% of Canadians are Vitamin D deficient.
Why is Vitamin D so important?
Vitamin D is well known for bone and muscle strength. A growing body of evidence has shown that adequate blood levels of Vitamin D are associated with good health and reduced total mortality. Having adequate blood levels of Vitamin D has been linked to a decreased risk of chronic illnesses, including:
Cardiovascular Disease
High Blood Pressure
Stroke
Common Cancers (Breast, Colon, Prostate)
Autoimmune Disease (Multiple Sclerosis, Type I Diabetes)
Infectious Disease (Colds, Flu Viruses)
Who needs Vitamin D?
Everyone needs the sunshine vitamin. Specific people who may need more Vitamin D are those who:
Have dark skin
Live and work indoors
Do not spend much time in the sun
Live in areas where sunlight is limited, like Chicago
Where Do You Get Vitamin D?
Many people with little exposure to UV Light find it difficult to obtain adequate Vitamin D from other sources. Sources of Vitamin D include:
UV Light, 10-20 minute exposure = 10,000-20,000 IU
Cod Liver Oil, 1 tsp = 400 IU
Salmon, Fresh Wild 3.5oz = 600 IU
Salmon, Fresh Farmed 3.5oz = 250 IU
Fortified Milk, 1 cup = 100 IU
