Base tan Carefully building a base tan is crucial to preventing UV damage and safely achieving your desired results. Your personal exposure schedule during this period depends on your skin type. We recommend tanning every other day during this gradual build-up process.

skin type session     skin type session
I 10   IV 4
II 8   V 2
III 6   VI 0

We recommend that you follow our Solar Typing recommendations when you visit the salon assist you in tanning responsibly within your skins limits.

Maintenance
Along with your personal tanning goals, skin type is again a consideration in determining your maintenance schedule. We recommend the following weekly exposure schedules to maintain your tan once the base is established:

skin type 1 ses./week 2 ses./week 3 ses./week 4 ses./week
I n/a min light med
II min light med med/dark
III min med med/dark dark/tropical
IV light med dark tropical
V med dark tropical black
VI dark tropical black superblack

remember: Do not follow your visit to Solar Salon with lots of outdoor exposure. You have already had your sun time for the day.
