How many times will I have to visit Planet Sun to get a good base tan?
Depending on your skin type, it will take from 1 to 8 sessions for you to begin showing good color. Traditional sun beds of the most common design will require about 8 sessions spread over about 2 weeks to produce good color. Newer quartz lamp “high pressure” designs use different kinds of tanning rays and much higher intensities to produce color in only 1 or 2 sessions for most skin types. Many modern sun beds fall in between these extremes and can produce a lot of color in 3 to 4 sessions. You will generally get what you pay for. Please remember that a fast tan is more cosmetic than functional. A tan needs to be maintained for a longer period of time in order for it to be functional in protecting from sunburn.
