1) Protect your eyes. Simply closing them or wearing outdoor sunglasses while you tan is not adequate protection against possible long-term eye injury. Wearing the FDA-compliant eye protection can reduce or eliminate that risk.

2) Protect your lips and ears. They do not produce melanin and will burn easily unless you protect them with a lip balm or sunscreen.

3) If you plan to tan in the nude, you should cover previously unexposed areas for your first few sessions with a indoor tanning inhibitor. Gradually reduce the tanning inhibitor to these areas which will allow the skin time to naturally produce melanin.

4) If you are taking any medications, please check with your doctor or pharmacist. Some medication can cause the body to have reactions with sunlight or UV light.
