Tanning regularly is the key to getting the best tanning bed tan. If you let your sessions lapse, your tan will soon follow.

Building Up a Tan

When you first start building a tan, you should be going to an indoor tanning salon between three and four times a week. Once you’ve built up that base tan, you’ll only need maintenance sessions between one and three times a week, depending on your skin tone. If you’re using a high-pressure bed, you c [...]

What If They Ask: Is a Tanning Bed Tan as Good as a Sun Tan?

roy.griffith@etstan.com — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0100

A tanning bed tan can actually be better and more exact than a sun tan achieved outside. Why? Because when you�re out in the sun, you can�t control how much ultraviolet (UV) light your skin is absorbing. However, when you opt for a tanning bed tan, you can actually regulate and control your UV exposure.

As a result, you can gradually increase your UV exposure over time in a controlled environment. This lets you take charge of your tan�s deepness while also m [...]

{mosimage}Oh, the bikini tan line � that dreaded tanning side effect that curses beach goers everywhere. So, how do you get rid of it or avoid it all together? You guessed it, by using indoor tanning beds.

What If They Ask: How Do I Tan Properly?

roy.griffith@etstan.com — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0100

I�m often asked about the proper way to tan. My answer? In a tanning bed!

Seriously though, if you�re tanning at a good salon, they will walk you back to your tanning room and show you exactly how everything on the tanning beds works � the timing system, the radio, the fans, everything.

Or, if you�re tanning on a home system, a good retail [...]

roy.griffith@etstan.com — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0100

People often ask me how to get a darker tan and I always say the key is consistency, good tanning beds and going slow. I�ve said it before and I�ll say it again, tanning is a process. It�s not a race. You need to start your tanning off slow and build your initial tan up to a good base.

Build From the Base Up

Once you have that slowly built-u [...]

Probably the most common question asked by new tanning bed users (and yes, even experienced tanners) is how often should you tan? I�ve said it a thousand times before and I�ll say it again, tanning is a process and it�s all about consistency when you use tanning beds. So, how often you should tan will depend on your skin type, the type of beds you�re using and your desired tan level.

roy.griffith@etstan.com — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Melanotan is a "tanning" drug that has hit the streets and the Internet hard. It�s unlicensed, untested and unregulated and your customers may start asking about it.

How Melanotan Works

The Indoor Tanning Association Speaking Out

roy.griffith@etstan.com — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 00:00:00 +0100

{mosimage}I want to applaud the Indoor Tanning Association for standing up to defend Darque Tan, the tanning salon being sued by the Texas Attorney General for claiming tanning provides Vitamin D.

If you haven�t been following this gripping story, you can read about Robbie Segler and Darque Tan right here on our blog. Basically, Segler made a claim in one of his television ads that UV exposure boosted Vitamin D synthesis, a claim that�s subst [...]

Jennifer Aniston Loves to Tan

roy.griffith@etstan.com — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 01:00:00 +0100

This just in – Jennifer Aniston is a die-hard tanner.

After having her personal tanning bed malfunction on her the day before an important photo shoot, she invested in not one, but two Wolff tanning beds for her home. One was to become her primary bed and the other an emergency backup.

You know, I’ve loved Jenifer Aniston since she first appeared as Rachel on Friends, but this c [...]

Sarah Palin Buys a Tanning Bed for the Alaska Governor�s Mansion

roy.griffith@etstan.com — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Sarah Palin, vice president and running mate of John McCain, is famously making waves all by herself. Several issues have been attached to her, perhaps in an effort by political schemers to destroy her image. Not surprising... usually I don't really pay attention.

However, I was quite interested in one such off-beat story about her involving tanning beds.
