How do we tan?

Tanning takes place in the skin's outermost layer, the epidermis, with special cells called melanocytes. When exposed to UV-B light (short wave ultraviolet), melanocytes produce the pigment, melanin. The pinkish melanin travels up through the epidermis and is absorbed by other skin cells. When exposed to UV-A light (longer wave), melanin oxidizes or darkens. This is your skin's way of protecting itself against too much UV light. This process is the same whether you are tanning indoors or out.

Why does a tan fade?

Cells in the epidermis are constantly reproducing and pushing older cells upward toward the surface of your skin, where they are sloughed off in about one month. As your skin replaces its cells, the cells laden with melanin are removed. So the tanning process must continue with the new cells. Ask one of our tanning consultants on how best to maintain your tan.

Lip and Eye Protection

Lips don't produce melanin and eyelids are too thin to block UV. That's why it's important to wear lip balms with sunscreen and protective goggles.. You can avoid "Raccoon Eyes" by gently adjusting your goggles while you tan, but never remove them completely or using our temporary eye wear option.

What if I am on medication?

Some medications can cause reactions with UV light. If you are taking any medications, please let your doctor know you're tanning and advise our tanning consultants so they can make the appropriate changes to your exposure schedule.

Why am I always asked if I have my eyewear?

Tropix Tanning Salon requires that you wear proper protective eyewear when tanning. We sell both regular and temporary goggles at our location. • Your eye lids are too thin to block out the UV rays, and they can penetrate a towel so it does not help to just cover your eyes either

Do I need to make an appointment to tan?

No, with all the busy schedules we feel it best not to make appointment that way there is no pressure on you.  Tanning should be a relaxing and awesome experience.  You can how ever call ahead and check on wait times but, keep in mind some people take allot of time undressing and dressing so we can’t tell you to the exact wait time.

What do I need to bring with me if I want to start tanning?

• If you have never tanned with us before, you will need to bring a valid picture ID with you.

Our certified Tanning consultants will walk you through the tanning process and ensure that you are comfortable with your first tanning experience.

Who is the best person to contact with any other questions that I may have?

Our Tanning Consultants and Managers who work at our location are fully certified to answer any questions you may have or you can contact the owners directly at tan@tropixtanningsalon.com

What if I buy a product that I don’t like anymore... can I exchange it for another one?

We do not allow any refunds or exchanges on products. We do, however, offer smaller lotion packets that you may purchase before hand to see if you like the lotion before you purchase the full bottle.

Why would I need to tan with indoor tanning lotion? When I went in to tan, I was told it was important.

Yes an indoor tanning lotion is important and will help you build, boost and extend the life of your tan. With our top of the line products you will leave feeling that you have received the best golden tan. It is also important to switch up your lotion to continually stimulate your skin and enhance your results. Don't forget your moisturizer and specialty products designed to help preserve and prolong your tan by replenishing the moisture and nutrients lost during the tanning process.
