Rules for healthy tanning: session length and before-and-after care guidance.
For year-round healthy tan, a solarium — with proper skin analysis and controlled UV — is a safe alternative.
Skin-Type Analysis
Solarium is not recommended for Fitzpatrick Type 1 (very fair, easily burned) skin. A controlled plan is built for Types 2-4.
Session Length
Initial sessions start at 6-8 minutes and build up to 12-15 minutes as skin adapts. Never exceed 20 minutes.
Session Spacing
At least 48 hours between sessions so skin can recover. Twice a week is enough.
Pre-Session Cream
Tan-accelerating pre-creams are used. Aftersun keeps the tan even.
