One of the biggest mistakes that people make is not protecting their eyes when tanning in a tanning bed, or even outside for that matter. I have to admit, I am guilty of this myself. Before working for a professional tanning salon, I just thought closing my eyes was good enough. Then other times I would wear them for half the time of my session and keep them off for the other half of my session.
Now that I am older and a little wiser, I always wear eye protection in the tanning bed. Plus, there are numerous options to find something you’re comfortable with
Over exposure to UV light can cause great damage to your eyes if not protected, and believe it or not, just closing your eyes is not enough.
Here are six facts about using eye protection in a tanning bed that you must read.
1. Your eyes can get sunburnt! Tanning with no eye protection can cause red, itchy or watery eyes. These symptoms are all indications of short-term eye damage.
2. You can damage your eyes in just one tanning session! Even just one tanning session, without protecting your eyes can be enough exposure to cause you short-term eye damage.
3. Closing your eyes is not protecting them! Your eyelids naturally block less than 25% of UV rays from your eyes, and this will not protect you well enough.
4. Repeated exposure to UV light without eye protection can also cause long-term and even permanent eye problems.
5. Some damage caused to your eyes is irreversible! Long-term damage caused to your eyes include Diminished Color Perception (your sight will be dulled) and Reduced Night Vision. There is no cure for these.
6. Long-term exposure to UV light without eye protection seriously increases your probability of developing a cataract. This causes severe pain and even blindness. Surgery is the only cure for cataracts.

If you haven’t tried sunless tanning at Celsius Tannery yet, what are you waiting for? Not sure what to expect? Let me tell you all about the sunless tanning experience. First, let’s get started by talking about the equipment itself!
The Booth
Sunless tanning at Celsius Tannery is all about comfort! It’s achieved within a private booth that utilizes the newest technology. And with its easy-to-breathe open concept, overspray is never an issue. The booth also features an automatic dry pass, which helps cut back on having a sticky/tacky feeling on your skin after your session and decreases the need to pat dry. One of my favorite things about the sunless booth is that I can achieve a great tan in minutes! Speaking of a great tan, let’s talk about your color options!
Color Options
In just one session, you’ll achieve a gorgeous tan that can last up to 7 days. Whether you’re looking for a light glow or a golden tan, your Tanning Consultant will help you determine which color option is best for your needs, ranging from 3-5 shades darker than your current color.
Newest Bronzing Options
Inside our booths, you’ll find the newest bronzing options on the market. What does that mean? Just like technology, sunless tanning is ever-changing and advancing. So if you’re still thinking about Ross from friends, please stop! Utilizing the latest ingredients and skin care advancements available in the cosmetics industry, our solutions are top of the line. As leaders in the industry, our product suppliers are always eager to get their most advanced solutions to our clients first!
Prep & Care Products
Now, I can’t talk about sunless tanning without mentioning a few of my favorite sunless prep and care products. What’s important to remember about sunless tanning is that it’s a process that’s very different from UV tanning. While it’s natural for your skin to tan when exposed to UV rays, sunless tanning is a cosmetic process, which is why we take the time to educate each client about the sunless products we offer. Two of my favorite sunless products are the CT Buffer Exfoliator and the Color Maximizer Prep Spray.
- CT Buffer Exfoliator is a non-abrasive, gentle way to prep the skin for a flawless, even tan! It uses natural, fine-grained volcanic stone to softly exfoliate, and works great for both UV and sunless clients.
- Color Maximizer Prep Spray works just like a make-up primer, ensuring a darker and more even color. This quick dry 360 spray is infused with ginseng, gynostemma and protein to nourish, protect and condition your skin to result in a darker color.
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between bronzers? There are two main categories of bronzers: natural and DHA.
Natural bronzers provide immediate results without streaking or staining. They typically include ingredients such as walnut shell extract, fig and henna.
DHA bronzers contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a colorless tanning ingredient. DHA is a sugar-based ingredient that reacts with the skin’s proteins to produce a delayed natural bronze color. DHA bronzers must be exposed to the air to develop color through an oxidation process. They produce noticeable results in 2-3 hours and complete results after a 24-hour period.
Myth: The darker the color of the lotion means the darker the bronzer is.
Truth: All DHA bronzers are colorless and you have to wait for the oxidation process of 2-4 hours to see color.
Myth: If you have a fair complexion, you should not use bronzers.
Truth: Bronzers are designed for people with fair complexions, those who have trouble tanning, or anyone who needs fast results! Bronzers are great for all those who want an extra boost in color.
Myth: Bronzers are the best lotions available.
Truth: The best lotion is the one that is best for your individual needs. It’s important to talk to a Tanning Consultant about your skin routine and your goals.
Myth: Bronzers streak and turn your hands orange.
Truth: Natural bronzers are designed to minimize streaking. However, it’s extremely important to properly apply DHA bronzing products. Rub the product on in circular motions, and then make sure to wipe or wash your hands afterward.
Myth: You can shower right after tanning with a bronzer.
Truth: With DHA bronzers, you must wait 2-3 hours for the oxidation process to occur. If you shower in this time frame, you’ll interrupt the process and your color won’t develop. If you want a color boost but need to be able to shower right away, natural bronzers would be the best choice.
