Let's shed some light on the sunny side of life! Light isn't just essential for plants; it's also a total game-changer for us humans. Scientifically, we need our daily dose of light exposure to stay sharp and feel fantastic. It's like a superhero cape for our brains, making us feel all perky and happy by holding back the sleepy hormone melatonin. Plus, light gives us the super-powered Vitamin D3, keeping our bones strong and our skin looking fly. And hey, catching those rays can even help reduce the risk of certain cancers and sunburn. Talk about a win-win situation! And let's not forget the mental boost – soaking up some sunshine can really brighten your day and give you that extra oomph of confidence. So, let's embrace the light, soak up some good vibes, and glow like the superstars we are!

**Uh-uh, no can do!** When it comes to outdoor products, they're strictly for outdoor use only.

Fear not, though – there are tons of fantastic indoor tanning products designed especially for the job. Just hit up our tanning pro for some top-notch recommendations, and you'll be on your way to that perfect indoor tan in no time!

To rock that enviable tan, keep up the tanning routine! Taking too long between sessions can fade your tan faster than you can say "sun-kissed." Most folks notice a change in their skin color after a few sessions, and voila – you've got yourself a solid base tan in around 6-10 visits. After that, one or two sessions a week will keep that tan shining all year round. Now, let's talk skin science: there are these cool cells called melanocytes in your skin. When hit with UVB rays, they start churning out melanin, and then those sneaky UVA rays swoop in to oxidize the melanin, giving you that gorgeous tan. And guess what? We're all unique – fair-skinned pals usually have less melanin than their darker-skinned buddies, which affects how quickly and deeply we tan. So, keep that tanning rhythm going, and get ready to glow!

When it comes to tanning and medications, it's crucial to play it safe. If you're on photosensitizing medication, whether it's for a medical condition or even found in everyday items like food, shampoos, or soaps, it's a no-go for tanning – indoors or outdoors. These medications can make your skin super sensitive to UV light, increasing the risk of overexposure. It's always best to check with your doctor about any potential photo sensitivity before hitting the tanning bed. And hey, if you're unsure about specific medications, our tanning consultant can hook you up with a list to steer clear of any risks. Remember, everyone's skin reacts differently, and it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to tanning and medications.
