If you are considering indoor tanning this year you need to make sure you know the right way to do it. Sure, the process isn't complicated but you need to know more than what time your appointment is and where the start button is. To get the best color in the least amount of time you have to cover the basics. This means understanding what works to give you a great indoor tan and what doesn't.

Dry skin is a primary reason why it will take some people longer to tan than others. You need to make sure you are removing all of the dead skin when you shower. Exfoliating is a great way to make sure you get to all of the layers. You want to complete this process before you begin tanning. You want to make sure you reduce the amount of dead skin that you have by using a good moisturizer.

Even if you don't feel like your skin is dry you need to be using a good moisturizer a couple of times a day. The summer weather will make it dry out and so will the indoor tanning process. Keeping your skin hydrated is a great way to get a wonderful looking tan that lasts. Not all of them are made with the same quality ingredients though so read labels and look at reviews.

There are products offered at the tanning salon as well that you may want to take advantage of. To help you achieve your base tan faster, consider using an accelerator. This product will ensure you get more color from the time you do spend at the tanning salon. Many people find this is helpful as they can become impatient waiting for their skin to get a nice color.

Once you are happy with that, you need to start using a bronzer. This is going to help you keep that healthy glow and the dark brown color longer. You don't want your base tan to start to fade as summer moves along. Make sure you are using the right products for your skin tone. It is best to get those that also have a moisturizer in them.

A common error with those that an is that they think if they stay in the tanning bed for a long time they will achieve color faster. This isn't how it works as the pigments of your skin may not be ready for that much UV exposure. You don't want to turn red instead of brown. Not only will that be embarrassing, you will be in pain for a couple of days.

Start out with a very low tanning time such as five minutes. If your body does well with it over a week then add one more minute. Every couple of days you can add another minute until you find where your body is comfortable or until you reach the maximum that the tanning salon allows. Most of them won't allow you to tan for more than 20 minutes each day.

If you know the best ways to get a great tan indoors you will get the most out of your money and your efforts. You will love the way your skin looks and be ready for any summer activity. Both men and women enjoy looking their very best. Indoor tanning is a great way to do it and still have time for the other activities in your life that you need to take care of.
