Lotion and Moisturizing Facts:
Did you know?

• Moist, nourished skin tans best.
• Lotions supply essential nutrients necessary for a tan.
• Lotions help you achieve a darker tan in fewer visits.
• Lotions help counteract the drying effects of heat and light associated with tanning.
• Indoor lotion should be applied immediately before each tanning session.
• Once a base tan is achieved, certain lotions are scientifically- formulated to condition the skin to break through the tanning plateau for deeper, darker results.
• Using an after-tan moisturizer will help your tan last longer.
• Special lotions containing SPF should be used outdoors to protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun and help preserve your devilish dark tan.

ONLY SALON APPROVED LOTIONS ARE PERMITTED FOR USE IN OUR EQUIPMENT. ALL OUTDOOR TANNING LOTIONS AND SPRAYS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN!!!!

OUR ACRYLIC SHIELDS ARE MAINTAINED BY OUR STAFF TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY AND BEST TANNING RESULTS. *

MANY PRODUCTS AVAILABLE IN DISCOUNT STORES AND BEAUTY SUPPLY stores ARE TOO DIFFICULT TO REMOVE FROM THE ACRYLIC, CAUSING THE BED TO BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE.

A $25 CLEANING SERVICE AND/OR A $250 ACRYLIC REPLACEMENT FEE WILL BE ASSESSED ANY CLIENT THAT USES PROHIBITED LOTION PRODUCTS.

HERE AT SUN DEVIL TAN WE CARE ABOUT OUR CUSTOMERS. MANY LOTIONS ARE ADVERTISED AS “INDOOR TANNING LOTIONS” THAT CONTAIN MINERAL OILS AND OTHER LOW-COST PETROLEUM PRODUCTS. THESE PRODUCTS NOT ONLY ARE NOT AS HIGH QUALITY AS THE PRODUCTS WE SELL WHICH ARE ALL ALOE BASED, BUT ACTUALLY COULD CAUSE HARM TO YOUR SKIN. WOULD YOU APPLY MOTOR OIL TO YOUR SKIN BEFORE TANNING? THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! FOR THIS REASON…

Four Things You Should Know

1. Use an indoor tanning lotion.
   Lotions created for indoor tanning help you tan faster. In addition, they replace moisture lost while tanning and help maintain your tan. Many help reduce and combat the signs of aging (the appearance of fine line and wrinkles.) By using lotions you can tan faster in fewer sessions. Ask your Sun Devil Tan tanning professional for the lotion that's best for your skin and your tanning goals.
   
   TINGLE LOTIONS
   Lotions With Tingle. Increases Your Blood Flow, Thus Increasing Amount Of Oxygen, Allowing You To Tan FASTER. Some People Will Feel A Tingling Sensation and Your Tan May Appear Red Immediately After Tanning. This Is Normal And Will Turn To Brown After Approx. 15 – 20 Minutes. No Other Type Of Lotion Can or Will Get You Darker!
   
   BRONZING LOTIONS
   Lotions With Heat Activated Bronzers. Make You Look A Little Darker Than You Naturally Are. Doesn’t Streak or Orange.
   
   Accelerators
   Lotions Loaded With Top Moisturizers & Accelerators! Nothing But Pure Tanning Lotion Ingredients. Speed Up Your Tan Naturally & Keep Your Skin Healthy, Soft & Moisturized. 
   
   
2. Wear eye protection.
   Use eyewear approved for indoor tanning. Simply Closing Your Eyes While Tanning Does Not Provide Adequate Protection From Ultraviolet Light. Indoor Tanning Eyewear Stops 99% Of UVB Light & 99.9% Of UVA Light, Allowing Only Visible Light Through So That You Can See While Tanning.. Contacts should be removed before tanning as well. Your eyes will dry out from tanning and so will your contacts, which can be quite uncomfortable.
   
   
3. Get your skin ready for a tropical vacation.
   Before going on vacation is an excellent time to tan indoors. Get a base tan indoors first. It will help you minimize the chances for sunburn and overexposure.
   
   
4. Remember to moisturize between sessions.
   Use a good moisturizer and a soap-free shower or bath gel to prevent your skin from drying and to maintain your bronze glow.
