What is responsible tanning? Frequently Asked Questions

 
In 1996, California TanŽ founded the Heliotherapy Light and Skin Research Center at Boston University School of Medicine to lead the investigation of both the positive and negative effects of sunlight.  Inspired by the science of Heliotherapy, California Tan creates tanning formulas that maximize tanning results and enjoyment of the sun, while at the same time preventing burning, skin dehydration and the appearance of wrinkles.  Further research will continue to shed light on new biological effects of UV rays.      

California Tan is proud to have Dr. Michael F. Holick, Ph.D., M.D., director, Vitamin D, Skin and Bone Research Laboratory at Boston University, head the Heliotherapy Light and Skin Research Center.  Dr. Holick and his staff of university clinicians and scientists are dedicated to uncovering the truth about UV exposure and its effects on the skin.      

California Tan encourages everyone to follow positive tanning practices which include:
    

  • Know your skin type
  • Consult your physician if you are unsure of your skin type
  • Time your tanning sessions according to your skin type
  • Never allow yourself to burn
  • Always tan with a lotion recommended by your salon professional for optimal skin care
