When you use a stand up tanning bed, the UV rays sink into your skin from all sides, meaning you will not need to rotate halfway through the tanning session to get an even glow. Stand up tanning beds also include special reflectors that help spread the light. Stand up tanning beds typically have more interior space, allowing you to move more easily. With more room to raise and lower your arms, many users find that a booth gives them a more relaxing tanning experience – perfect for those who want a tan but are prone to anxiety in tight spaces.
Stand-up booths are capable of giving you a deeper tan. The bulbs used in them give off stronger rays compared to a tanning bed. The higher intensity of the UV rays increases melanin production which results in a darker complexion. For those who want more than just a “sun-kissed” look, stand-up booths are better.
Generally, it is recommended to start with shorter sessions, around 5-10 minutes, and gradually increase the time as your skin builds up a tolerance. It is important to always follow the recommended time for your specific tanning bed and to never exceed the maximum time.
Many clients choose to tan in a swimsuit or underwear. To get the most even tan,
you may wear nothing at all. It’s your session, so it’s up to you.
