Tanning at The Beach

Beach Tanning: all seasons, all weather, and after dark

When you tan at an indoor tanning facility, your skin produces a tan in the same way it does when you lay out in the sun: through ultraviolet (UV) light. There is one important difference - when you are out in the sun, you cannot control the amount of UV light you are exposed to because it is affected by changes in the atmosphere, geographic location, time of day or year, and weather conditions. Indoor tanning is one way to regulate the amount of UV light you are exposed to because it is a controlled environment.

Tanning lamps use the best ratio of UVA and UVB rays to provide optimal tanning results with a lowered risk of overexposure. Exposure times are determined by equipment recommendations and our trained staff who take into account previous tanning sessions as well as the tanner's skin type.

Choosing indoor tanning saves you time, travel, and tan lines.

Best of all, tanning at The Beach is not subject to our Pacific Northwest weather.

Usually, you will begin to notice results after a few tanning sessions. In order to build a tan it is important to tan regularly. It is generally recommended that you wait at least 48 hours between each session to allow your tan to fully develop. Skin pigmentation and/or erythema (sunburn) may not be visible for up to 48 hours so leaving adequate time between sessions will help reduce the risk for overexposure. Once you have built a tan, you can maintain it by tanning one or two times a week. Because The Beach is open until 11pm weeknights you can easily do one or two appointments per week, even with your busy schedule.

If you are developing a base tan before vacation, you would want to start tanning a couple of weeks before you go. Indoor tanning is a process; most skin types may not acheive desired tanning results in just a few days.

Consult with a member of our staff to determine the tanning schedule and product that is right for you.
