Tanning Smart: How Often Should You Tan?
The Smart Way to Build Color — And Maximize Your All-Inclusive Membership at BodyBing Tanning
If you’ve ever asked, “How often should I tan?” — the real answer depends on your goals.
Are you building a base tan?
Maintaining color?
Preparing for vacation?
Or just wanting to look and feel your absolute best year-round?
At BodyBing Tanning in Troy and Shelby Township, MI, we don’t just offer tanning — we offer a full wellness + glow experience. When used correctly, our All-Inclusive Plan gives you the ultimate strategy for faster results, better skin health, and longer-lasting color.
Let’s break it down.
🌞 How Often Should You Tan?
If You’re Building a Base Tan:
2–3 times per week
With at least 24–48 hours between sessions
Gradually increase exposure time based on skin type
This allows melanin production to build safely and evenly without overexposure.
If You’re Maintaining Your Tan:
1–2 times per week
Keeps color consistent without needing frequent long sessions
Consistency beats intensity.
But Here’s What Most People Get Wrong…
Tanning alone is only part of the equation.
The clients who get the best results at BodyBing Tanning combine:
✔ UV Tanning
✔ Red Light Therapy
✔ Cocoon Wellness Sessions
✔ Professional-Grade Lotion
That’s how you maximize results — and that’s exactly why our All-Inclusive Membership is structured the way it is.
🔴 Why You Should Use Red Light Therapy Before Tanning
Red Light Therapy increases circulation and stimulates collagen production. When used before tanning, it can:
• Improve blood flow to the skin
• Enhance oxygen delivery
• Support smoother, healthier skin texture
• Help your skin respond more evenly to UV exposure
Many of our members use 10–15 minutes of Red Light Therapy before tanning to “prime” their skin.
Even better?
Some of our premium lotions are dual-use formulas, designed for both UV tanning and Red Light Therapy — meaning you’re enhancing hydration and collagen support at the same time.
Hydrated skin = better tanning results.Healthy skin = longer-lasting color.
🧖♀️ Why Add the Cocoon to Your Routine?
Our Infrared Cocoon Wellness Pod is the recovery and relaxation component most salons don’t offer.
The Cocoon supports:
• Relaxation and stress reduction
• Infrared heat therapy for detox support
• Temporary water weight reduction
• Muscle relaxation
• Increased circulation
Many clients love using the Cocoon:
• On non-tanning days
• Before tanning to boost circulation
• Or after a long week for full body reset
This is what turns tanning into a full luxury wellness experience.
The Ideal Weekly Routine (All-Inclusive Members)
Here’s what we often recommend for someone building color while maximizing skin health:
Example Week:
Monday – Red Light + UV
Wednesday – UV only
Friday – Red Light + UV
Sunday – Cocoon Wellness Session
That’s 3 tanning sessions — safely spaced — plus two skin-enhancing services.
This approach helps:
✔ Build color gradually
✔ Improve skin tone and elasticity
✔ Maintain hydration
✔ Support overall wellness
Why Lotion Matters More Than You Think
Using a high-quality indoor tanning lotion isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Our professional salon lotions:
• Accelerate tanning results
• Prevent dryness
• Extend the life of your tan
• Support collagen production
• Reduce the “plateau effect”
Drugstore or outdoor lotions simply don’t compare.
When you combine: UV + Red Light + Cocoon + Professional Lotion
You’re not just tanning — you’re investing in skin performance.
Why the All-Inclusive Plan Is the Smartest Option
For $69.95 per month, you get access to:
✔ UV Tanning
✔ Spray Tans
✔ Red Light Therapy
✔ Cocoon Wellness Pod (Infrared Dry Heat Sauna)
✔ Hybrid Tanning Equipment (Red Light and UV together)
Instead of paying $35 per luxury visit, members can rotate services strategically and see significantly better results.
It’s not about tanning more , It’s about tanning smarter.
