Eye Protection
Eye Protection is a must! Your eyelids are the thinnest membranes on your body and need protection. The law requires that you tan with eye protection that meet federal guidelines for tanning.

Your Lips
Take care of your lips with a SPF lip protection when tanning indoors and out.

Sensitive Areas
Tanning more sensitive areas requires extra precaution. Those areas can be more delicate. Shield those area in the beginning and gradually expose them to the ultra-violet light during the first few sessions.

Medications
Some prescription drugs, like antibiotics, topical solutions, and even some foods can make you more sensitive to ultra-violet light. Please consult your physician if you have questions.

Why Tan
Many people tan indoors before going away on vacation to get a good base. In fact a tan is your body's own natural SPF of a 2 to 8 depending on your skin type. A good base, in combination with a SPF, helps many guarantee an enjoyable burn free time.

You may also know of various health benefits associated with UV exposure, like the production of Vitamin D that helps prevent the bone diseases (osteoporosis), relief from the discomfort of psoriasis, SAD (seasonal affective disorder) to name a few. But due to the FDA regulations, the indoor tanning industry may not make any medical claims. There are many reasons, physiological and psychological why a tan and exposure to UV light is desirable.
