Tanning Rules To Live By!

For all tanners, new and experienced alike, here are the three main rules to always follow when tanning!

1.  Say no to dry tanning!
When tanning, it is essential to always, always use a great designer tanning lotion.  Liberally applying tanning lotion before using a solarium booth ensures that your skin will stay hydrated and soft, plus it will tan more effectively.  Tanning lotions are specially designed with ingredients that maximize how much color you get with every tanning session.  Plus, Hollywood Tans tanning lotions are often fortified with fun extras, like anti-agers or firming agents.  Dry tanning on the other hand, dries out your skin, making it rough and flaky, which actually lessens the life of your tan.
Not sure what kind of tanning lotion to use?  Don't hesitate to ask your local salon professionals, who can help you break down what each lotion is formulated to do, and which ones are best for your unique skin.

2.  Love your eyes!
Never, ever tan without some sort of tanning eyewear.  Believe it or not, shutting your eyes while tanning will not protect them from the light.  Hollywood Tans offers two great options for eye protection, "Podz" and "Winkease".

Podz are awesome re-usable goggles that come in a portable key chain pod and cost about $4 each.  They're really comfortable and I definitely recommend them for frequent tanners.  Just be sure to wash them at least once a week.  

Wink Ease are one time, easy to use stickers that fit right over your eyes and protect them from the sun.  They range in price from around $.50 to $1 and are super convenient for those annoying times when you forget your Podz!

3.  The Dreaded 24hr Rule

While it sometimes seems silly or inconvenient, it's crucial that you wait a full 24 hours before tanning again.  And it's not just a Hollywood Tans rule; the 24hr rule is actually something tanning salons are legally bound to follow.
