HOW OFTEN IS A PERSON ALLOWED TO TAN?
[Back to FAQS] Since 1986, the Food and Drug Administration guidelines suggest that a 48 hour should pass between tanning sessions. Pigmentation and/or erythema (sunburn) may not be fully visible for between 12-24 hours. Thus two tanning sessions within this 24 hour period could cause an unintentional burn. In general, maximum pigmentation can be build up gradually, following the exposure schedule, in 8-10 tanning sessions.
Currently, the FDA guidelines suggest a 48 hour time interval between sessions. Pigment darkening may not be visible for 12-24 hours, therefore, two tanning sessions within a 24 hour period could cause an unintentional burn. It’s best to achieve a gradual tan by following the equipment guidelines.
