For those who are just starting out and don't know exactly how to get started and get quick results. Here is a good plan:(and if you've never tanned indoors before you should ask a professional at the salon what they think before continuing because they can see your skin as is)...

#1. For the first week you should tan everyday unless you burn and then give it time to fade.

#2. After the first week or so you should tan every other day for 2-3 weeks. The reasoning for this is so you don't turn red. You must give your skin time to recuperate before tanning again.

#3. After the 4th week you SHOULD have reached your maximum tan shade unless you've slipped up in your schedule and from then on out you should tan once every 3 days to maintain your color!
Maximum tan shading should be reached by the 4th week but most likely not before!
