Tanning occurs gradually through the stimulation and oxidation of melanin in the skin during exposure
to ultaviolet rays. UVB (shorter ultraviolet rays)trigger melanin production deep in the skin. When
these activated melanin granules travel to the surface, UVA (longer ultraviolet rays) cause the
melanin to oxidize and turn brown. Too much UVB causes sunburn (erythema).

Natural sunlight contains an uncontrolled amount of UVB (burning rays) whereas indoor tanning controls
both the UVA/UVB ratio and your exposure time, giving you the perfect balance for developing a dark,
healthy-looking tan.

Although some people may see a skin tone change after only one or two sessions, most people need 7 to 10
sessions to fully develop a tan. With a good base tan, 1 or 2 sessions a week will maintain a radiant,
deep, dark tan throughout the year.
