1. Effective Equipment Good high quality, effective equipment will generate great results, creating high value for your tanning dollar. There is a lot more to an effective tanning bed than meets the eye. At SWEETAN we have shopped all makes and models to only provide what we believe to be the absolute best equipment available.
To evaluate a salon's equipment:

  • ask questions or request literature as to what makes the equipment effective. There is a lot of high tech scientific research that goes into a high quality effective tanning bed.
  • ask customers why they tan at SWEETAN, what beds they prefer and why.
  • to evaluate SWEETAN equipment versus equipment you have used in the past, break down the process of 'equal minute packages' on a 'per minute basis'. Then take 'number of minutes' 'price' x 'session length' = 'cost per session'. Finally weigh the 'cost per session' versus the effectiveness of the bed to make your decision. If you are a first time user of a SWEETAN bed you may wish to pay a 'drop in' rate before purchasing a minute package in order to try the equipment and evaluate the effectiveness.

    2. Rotate the Equipment you tan in All of SWEETAN'S tanning beds are extremely effective but they all effect the skin in a slightly different way. We strongly recommend rotating through all of our beds for the absolute best tan possible.

    3. Use Tan Enhancers Tan enhancers will help speed your results and save you money on your minutes. Today's indoor tanning lotions are quite different from over the counter outdoor lotions. They are formulated to minimize the skin's absorption of ulta-violet light while retaining moisture. Indoor tanning lotions can help you achieve a darker tan in fewer tanning visits, saving you both time and money. Moist skin tans better. Lotions specially developed for indoor tanning feed nutrients to the skin that encourage the tanning process.

    4. Keep your skin moist It is important to keep your skin moist. Aside from using a good Tan Enhancer moisturizing your skin immediately after a tan, after bathing, before sleeping, and throughout the day will help prolong your tan. Tan extenders work great to moisturize, and provide the proper nutrients to the skin. Even a good body moisturizer will work wonders.

    5. Protect your lips and tattoos Lips cannot produce melanin and they are therefore at risk to burn. UV protective Lip Balm helps protect the lips and is highly recommended. UV Lip Balm can also be placed on tattoos to hlp prevent fading over time,

    6. Protect your eyes Whether tanning indoors or outdoors, eyelids do not provide adequate protection from ultraviolet light. Indoor tanners should always use government-approved goggles. Sunglasses or towels do not offer enough protection from the penetrating UV light.
