Why should I use a tanning lotion?

The answer is simple, indoor tanning lotions give you better results.

Tanning ONE time with the right lotion is equal to tanning THREE times without lotion.

Our skin typically doesn't begin absorbing the UV in a sunless bed for 5-7 minutes! With one of our lotions your skin will 'wake up' to the UV in as little as 1 minute!

They are also an important part of tanning responsibly and keeping your skin looking radiant and healthy!

Stop in today for more details and a little bit of sunshine at Under The Sun!

💡 THE TRUTH ABOUT TANNING & CANCER

It’s true — UV light can cause DNA damage when overused or when skin burns. 🥵 But there’s no conclusive clinical proof that moderate, professionally supervised tanning increases skin cancer risk.

Most studies linking tanning to cancer combine:
☀️ Different skin types
🏠 Home or unregulated use
🔥 Burned skin or overexposure
…making results less reflective of what happens in controlled salon environments.

Just like sunlight, UV exposure is powerful — but context, dose, and control determine whether it harms or helps. ✨

Professional tanning systems deliver measured UV exposure under trained supervision. SMART TAN–certified salons teach clients how to tan gradually, avoid burns, and respect their skin’s limits.

ALWAYS choose salons that educate clients, follow Smart Tan guidelines, and prioritize skin safety over speed.

(Amanda at Under The Sun IS certified)

So no — tanning beds aren’t “instant cancer machines.”
They’re tools that, when used correctly, allow for controlled UV exposure that may support vitamin D production, mood, and skin adaptation. 🌞
