Our Recommended Exposure Schedule
Urban Oasis Sun has developed this guide to assist with determining the appropriate exposure times for our clients using our equipment. The guide is for a client's first exposure on an un-tanned skin. (no regular or consistent exposure to Sun Light for 3 consecutive months.) Exposure will also vary in accordance to each clients individual skin type and other variables e.g. Medications, allergies, which can and may affect a clients tanning capabilities or inabilities to tan. This schedule is only recommended at our tanning spa and also in accordance to the schedules set by the manufacturer.
