Illinois State Law mandates that you may only tan once in a 24 hour period.
No. Indoor tanning is designed to replicate UVA & UVB levels produced by the sun but in carefully controlled combinations whereas the sun emits different levels all the time.
Yes. You can achieve a better tan in fewer visits, a longer lasting tan & receive the vital nutrients and moisturizers to keep skin looking great. Absolutely NO outdoor lotions are allowed. They are not designed for indoor tanning and contain oils that actually damage the tanning surfaces. Please refer any questions about lotions to any staff member; they will be happy to introduce the benfits of indoor tanning lotions to you.
The tanning process occurs in the epidermis, the top skin layer. The epidermis replaces all it's skin cells every 28-30 days. Cells in the inner portions of the top skin layer divide themselves, migrate to the surface, gradually die and slough off. Skin cells contain melanin, and as a result of the UV exposure, rise to the surface and flake off. Therefore, a tan can be maintained only by repeated exposure to UV light.
The UV rays emitted by indoor tanning lamps do not emit sufficient energy to penetrate past the skin layers. Thus, despite claims and rumors to the contrary, internal organs are not directly impacted by longer wave of UV light.
There exists no known reason why contact lenses may not be worn while tanning indoors. When the eyes are kept closed and proper protective eyewear worn, UV light is blocked from penetrating the eye or lens. However, the heat generated by indoor tanning equipment could cause the eye to dry a bit, thereby making the lens uncomfortable. Just as one should moisturize the skin after tanning, conact lens wearers may also use the eye drops recommended by his/her optometrist.
