Hey there, it’s Kayla, and I’m excited to share my experience with you about my first time using tanning beds at Bronze On Tanning Salon.
Before I discovered Bronze On, I was a complete novice when it came to tanning. I didn’t know the first thing about it. I vividly remember walking into the salon, felling a bit intimidated and unsure of what to expect. But, as soon as I met the owner, Shannon, my nerves dissipated.
Shannon took me under her wing and recommended a tanning lotion (bronzer) that was perfect for my skin type. She gave me a detailed tour of the salon, showing me all the different tanning beds and explaining their features.
What I loved most about my experience at Bronze On is that the staff is always ready and willing to share their knowledge with beginners like me. Overall, my experience at Bronze On was amazing, and I’m thrilled to share my journey, as well as tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way. Whether you’re a tanning pro or a complete newbie, Bronze On is the perfect place to get your glow on!

Tanning Tips & Tricks
These tips are from what I learned from my experience tanning at Bronze On Tanning Salon, as well as advice I learned from Shannon and the other employees.
#1- Start slow
If you’re new to tanning beds, start with short sessions to build up a tan gradually. It might be tempting to “get the most out of your money” by doing the entire session to start, but overexposure to UV radiation can lead to sunburn and skin damage, so take it easy at first.
#2- Choose the right tanning bed
There are several types of tanning beds that Bronze On offers. (Check their website to view your options) Each type of bed differs in features and levels of intensity. Consider your skin type and tanning goals when selecting a bed.
#3- Exfoliate before tanning
You should exfoliate your skin to create a more even base for your tan. Hint- This helps your tan last longer!
#4- Use Salon Grade Tanning Lotion
When it comes to achieving the perfect tan, using a high-quality tanning lotion is a must. Not only does it help you achieve a deeper, more even tan, but it also provides your skin with much-needed moisture.
One of the key benefits of using salon-grade tanning lotions is the quality of the ingredients. Bronze On carries products formulated with high-quality ingredients specifically designed to enhance your tanning experience.
During my tanning journey, I started with Nothing But Bronze by Australian gold, which was a great option for achieving a natural-looking, long-lasting tan. However, as I continued to experiment, I discovered I also loved the results I achieved from using Sunshine and Shorelines by Snooki.
It is essential to find the right lotion for your skin and tanning goals. That’s why the employees at Bronze On are always ready to offer recommendations.
#5- Protect your eyes
Tanning beds emit UV radiation, which can be harmful to your eyes . Be sure to wear eye protection while tanning. Good news... Bronze On has eye protection for you!
#6- Moisturize after tanning
Tanning can dry out your skin, so it's important to moisturize after each session. Look for products designed for post-tanning use.
I used Australian Gold's Hemp Nation moisturizer. It is lightweight, smells great, and has a Derma Dark bronzer. Love it!
#7- Don't overdo it
Tanning too frequently or for too long can cause problems. It is important to give your skin time to recover between tanning sessions.
#8- Be patient
Tanning takes time, so don't expect to achieve your desired results after just one session. Stick to a consistent tanning schedule and be patient as your skin gradually develops a deep, gorgeous tan.
I recommend getting an unlimited monthly pass from Bronze On if you're wishing to maintain a consistent glow.
