How many times will I have to visit The Copper Zone to get a good base tan?
Depending on your skin type, and whether or not you begin tanning in our 30/2 Facial Beds or our 52/8 Super Bed, it will take from 1 to 5 sessions for you to begin showing good color. Traditional sunbeds of the most common design will require about 5 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 2 or 3 sessions for most skin types. Many modern sunbeds 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. A fast tan is generally 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.
