A Guide to Achieving Your Best Tan at Bottoms Up Tanning & Wellness

At Bottoms Up Tanning and Wellness, your premier tanning salon in Vacaville, CA, we understand that achieving that perfect sun-kissed glow can be a little daunting, especially if you’re a first-time tanner. That’s why we’re here to guide you through the tanning levels and beds we offer, ensuring you get the best results while keeping your skin safe. Whether you’re looking for a subtle bronze or a deep tan, we’ve got you covered with our range of options!

 

Tanning Levels: What You Need to Know

 

Level 1: Basic Tan Builder

If you’re new to tanning, we always recommend starting at Level 1. This level is designed for those with fair skin types or those who have never tanned before. The sessions are shorter, allowing your skin to gradually adjust to UV exposure. Starting at this level helps you build a foundation for a beautiful tan while minimizing the risk of burning.

  • Features: No facial tanners, neck reflectors, or shoulder tanners

  • UVB Exposure: 6%

  • Note: May result in uneven tanning (underarms, sides)

  • Max Time: 15 minutes

 

Level 2: Enhanced Tan Builder

Once you feel comfortable with Level 1, you can transition to Level 2. This level offers slightly more intense UV exposure, ideal for building a base tan. It’s perfect for those who want to enhance their color without jumping into stronger sessions too quickly. You’ll start to notice a more noticeable glow!

  • Features: Adjustable facial tanners & fans

  • UVB Exposure: 4%

  • Comfort: Larger bed for more comfort

  • Max Time: 15 minutes

 

Level 3: Advanced Tan Builder

Level 3 tanning beds provide a balanced blend of UV rays, helping you deepen your tan effectively. At this level, you can maintain and enhance your color while still being mindful of your skin’s health. Regular sessions here can keep your skin looking radiant and ready for any occasion!

  • Features: Facial tanners, neck reflectors, shoulder tanners

  • UVB Exposure: 2%

  • Comfort: Enhanced comfort features

  • Max Time: 15 minutes

 

Level 4: Full Body Bronzing

Ready to take your tan to the next level? Level 4 offers increased UV exposure for those looking for a richer, deeper tan. If you have a base tan established, this level can help you achieve that sun-kissed look you desire while allowing your skin to adjust.

  • Features: 360-degree tanning experience

  • UVB Exposure: 1.5%

  • Coverage: Full coverage with neck/shoulder reflectors

  • Max Time: 12 minutes

 

Level 5: Deep Bronzing

For those who are serious about their tanning, Level 5 is where the magic happens. This level delivers higher intensity UV rays, ideal for achieving a darker, more robust tan. Regular users of Level 5 often find they can maintain their color with fewer sessions.

  • Features: 360-degree tanning with full features

  • UVB Exposure: 1%

  • Comfort: Adjustable tanners, neck/shoulder reflectors

  • Max Time: 12 minutes

 

Level 6: Ultimate Bronzing

If you’re looking for the ultimate tanning experience, our Level 6 beds provide the highest intensity for serious tanners. This level is for individuals who are experienced with tanning and want to achieve a deep, lasting color. Just remember to listen to your skin and avoid overexposure!

  • Features: 360-degree tan with top features

  • UVB Exposure: 0.05%

  • Comfort: Adjustable tanners, neck/shoulder reflectors

  • Max Time: 12 minutes

This option uses specialized bulbs that emit fewer UV rays while still providing excellent tanning results. It’s perfect for those looking to minimize UV exposure while achieving a beautiful tan. Plus, it typically requires fewer sessions, making it a time-efficient option!

 

Starting Your Tanning Journey

If you’re a first-time tanner, remember to start at the lower levels and gradually work your way up. This approach helps keep your skin safe and reduces the risk of burning. Our staff is always available to guide you on the best practices for your skin type and tanning goals.
