Q. Can anybody tan?
Certain skin types cannot tan, but anybody can get a beautiful
golden-tan look with our UV - Free tanning
system process. Our tanning professionals can help you determine
the type of tanning best suited to your skin type. The six basic
skin types are shown below:
Skin type 1: Always burns, never tans
Skin type 2: Burns easily, tans slightly
Skin type 3: Sometimes burns, tans gradually
Skin type 4: Burns minimally, always tans well
Skin type 5: Burns rarely, tans deeply
Skin type 6: Almost never burns, deeply pigmented
Q. What should I wear in the tanning bed?
Since each tanning bed is in a private room, you can wear (or not
wear) whatever you are most comfortable in.
Q. Do I have to wear eye protection?
Yes, it is required by law in most states because eyelids are not
thick enough to protect your eyes from UV damage. UltraTan provides
FDA-approved eyewear at no charge in each tanning room.
Q. Why are lotions necessary?
Tanning without a lotion will deplete your skin of its much needed
moisture. Lotions can help stimulate the
production of melanin so that your skin tans more quickly, gets
darker and keeps its tan longer. Plus, our lotions have moisturizers
that keep your skin soft and healthy. Our premium lotions deliver
vitamins, moisturizers, oils, and other ingredients to revitalize
the skin and encourage melanin production, which gives you a tan
appearance.
Q. Why is moisturized skin important for a tan?
Healthy, moist skin will tan quicker, get darker and keep its tanned
appearance longer because the melanin is produced rapidly and the
skin also will not exfoliate as quickly when it is properly
moisturized.
Q. I don't tan outdoors. Will I be able to tan in a bed?
If you can't get color from the sun, you can't get color in an UV
bed. However, UV - Free tanning system
can give you a natural looking tan without any UV exposure at all.
Q. Do I need an appointment to tan?
No appointments are required at UltraTan. Since our tanning
facilities have more beds than the average tanning salon, you should
be able to get a bed whenever you want with minimal or no waiting
time.
Q. Do I have to sign a contract?
We offer a no-hassle monthly membership with no contracts required.
Q. I'm pregnant. Is it safe for me to tan?
We recommend you ask your health professional.
Q. How do I know the beds are clean?
We use FDA-approved cleaning solutions after every customer's
tanning session. The solution is tested daily to ensure proper
sanitizing properties exist.
Q. How often do you change the bulbs in each bed?
We follow the manufacturer's guidelines for bulb replacement so that
you will achieve the best results from your sessions. We typically
change our bulbs when they have reached 80% of their capacity so
your tan doesn't suffer from weaker UV rays.
