Why can't I get a tan?

Do you tan regularly but still see no results? Do you use a tanning bed, but your legs are still pale? Have you been unsuccessfully searching for a way to achieve a natural (and lasting!) bronze glow? In this article, you'll learn what might be causing these difficulties and discover proven ways to achieve your dream tan.

Solarium mishaps, or how to use a solarium?

One of the reasons you can't get a tan is a lack of basic knowledge about tanning beds and tanning equipment. In other words, to get a good tan, you need to know what to do and how to do it. Remember, the staff is here to help you. If you have any questions or concerns, they'll help you choose the right equipment, tanning session length, and tanning products for your needs.

We often mistakenly assume that a single, intense session will give us the desired ebony tan. However, the reality is quite different. We'll achieve the best results when we opt for regular, shorter tanning sessions.

Before visiting a tanning salon, it's also worth seeking information and reviews about the standard of services provided. Ensuring regular equipment maintenance, regular lamp replacement, and staff training are essential for clients to fully enjoy their tanning session.

Start tanning at… home

You know what we often forget? Proper skin preparation before a visit to the tanning salon. This is crucial for a quick and even tan. We rarely realize that dry skin acts as a shield, reflecting the rays. That's why it's so important to remove dead skin cells and deeply moisturize the skin. Who knows, maybe your pale complexion is the result of improper skin care?

Can I use SPF cream in a solarium?

"Umbrella in the shower" – this is how we figuratively describe using SPF products in a tanning bed. If you apply a sunscreen product to your skin before tanning, the time spent "under the lamps" can be considered wasted. Think for a moment about why you use a tanning bed and howtanning in a tanning bed differs from tanning in the sun.

When choosing a tanning session in a solarium, we want to achieve a beautiful tan quickly and as effectively as possible! Furthermore, tanning in a solarium, unlike sunbathing, allows us to control the duration and intensity of exposure to radiation.

Sunscreen lotion will block the sun's rays, preventing your tan from developing! So, if you're using SPF products for indoor tanning , put them away and only use them when you're actually sunbathing.

If not sunscreen, then what about a solarium?

Do you apply heel cream to your face or use a random detergent in the shower? As with any cosmetic product, you should rely on professional solutions when tanning in a tanning bed. We've heard plenty about skin irritation, a "burnt chicken" smell, or skin stains—these are the results of tanning bed experiments with products not intended for this type of tanning.

So what should you do? Choose an indoor tanning lotion that will accelerate and intensify your tan by up to several shades! Unlike regular creams, they contain tanning ingredients and complexes that deepen skin tone. This type of lotion is often enriched with moisturizing and regenerating ingredients and is also suitable for special tasks, meaning it's designed for specific areas of the body or skin types.

Have you been struggling with pale skin for a while now? This accelerating lotion stimulates melanin production in the skin , resulting in a faster and longer-lasting tan. We're talking about the Booster, of course! This sunscreen contains many natural ingredients, such as Tahitian gardenia, shea butter, and coconut oil, which deeply moisturize and nourish the skin.

What is your skin phototype?

Difficulty achieving an ebony tan may be due to your skin's natural predispositions. According to the Fitzpatrick classification, the Celtic type is characterized by low melanin, resulting in very fair skin, light eyes, and blond or red hair. People with this complexion rarely tan, and sun exposure usually results in a flushed complexion.

However, that doesn't mean you have to give up tanning. We offer self-tanning products that will give your skin a sun-kissed glow. A natural tan is what you need right now!

Love your tan

The difficulty in achieving your desired skin tone could be due to many factors. Take care of your skin both before and after tanning. Drinking plenty of water and using proper skincare products enriched with aloe vera or panthenol can help. Also, remember that lotions with SPF won't be very helpful – opt for professional lotions with ingredients that accelerate tanning and bronze the skin.
