Today, you don\u2019t have to spend hours at the beach to get a healthy glow. Instead, you can achieve a beautiful, golden color at any time of year with a UV tanning bed. And while most people must complete three to five sessions to see noticeable results, there are several things you can do to make sure you maximize your tanning time. Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Exfoliate Before Your Tanning Session<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dead skin cells, environmental pollutants, and natural oils can accumulate on the\u202fsurface of your skin, creating a dull barrier. Therefore, before you apply any tanning accelerators or lotions, it\u2019s best to use a pre-tan exfoliant. This will help you avoid uneven, blotchy results and help your skin soak up moisturizing tanning products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are hundreds of exfoliants available, so be sure to choose one that\u2019s best for your skin type. If you have sensitive, thin, or soft skin, you should use an exfoliator with natural ingredients like sugar and sea salt. Alternatively, you can skip the product and exfoliate in the shower using a loofah. For naturally dry skin, choose an exfoliator that contains tan-friendly moisturizers. You should also avoid lotions that contain harsh ingredients like parabens, acids, and alcohol. Finally, for acne-prone skin, stick to exfoliation products that contain salicylic acid or glycol<\/a>. However, you should only use this the night before you tan, as the ingredients may lighten your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready for a pro tip? Spend extra time focusing on rough or calloused areas of your skin, such as the elbows, knees, and ankles. That way, you can have an even bronze from head to toe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use Tanning Lotions and Accelerators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a veteran tanner, you\u2019ve probably tried a plethora of products over the years. However, if you\u2019re new to indoor tanning, you may feel overwhelmed with all of the choices. The following are just a sampling of the many tanning products on the market:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
