What is a Smart Tan Certified Salon?
A Smart Tan Certified salon recommends the following simple guidelines to help maximize your tanning benefits, indoors or out: Avoid Sunburn – Sunburn is the enemy associated with permanent skin damage. Learn Your Skin Type – Each of the six skin types reacts differently to sun exposure, and knowing where you are on the scale helps prevent overexposure. Protect Yourself Outdoors – Wear full-spectrum sunscreens appropriately, even if you have a tan. Protect Your Eyes – Indoor tanners should always wear tanning goggles that meet federal protection standards. Outdoors, wear sunglasses that block Ultraviolet A and B rays. Check Your Medications – Some sensitize skin to UV light, increasing your chance of burning or developing a rash. *Information courtesy of International Smart Tan Network.
