The Tan Commandments

Thou shalt notcovet thy neighbor’s tan 
Especially when you can have a healthy tan all your own. When your neighbors are tanned on the outside, chances are, they're feeling good inside. Research shows regular moderate sun exposure my decrease your risk of getting breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate and ovarian cancer, even Alzheimer's disease. And according to the American Association of Retired Persons, 15 minutes of sunlight exposure each day may help prevent osteoporosis. No wonder more than 30 million Americans use tanning beds religiously.

Thou shalthonor thy tanning experience 
Our customers tell us their tanning time reduces stress. And no wonder. National studies indicate sunshine promotes beneficial changes in mood chemistry. It's especially helpful in dealing with winter depression or S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder), which are both related to light deprivation.

With Phones and satellite stereo systems in the private, luxurious tanning rooms, we make sure the process of tanning is as pleasurable as the results you get.

Thou shaltavoid sunburn and overexposure like the plague 
Tanning is a good thing, a natural body process – it's the way your skin protects itself from sunburn. Sunburn and overexposure are your skin's enemies. Indoor tanning clients are 81% less likely to sunburn than no-tanners because tanning salons today are teaching people to respect the sun and avoid sunburn. We provide the staff, training, talent and equipment it takes to create a healthier, happier you.

Thou shalt notkill thy epidermis 
Take the wrong path to a tan and you could condemn your skin to an eternity of suffering. Aside from heredity, sunburn is the biggest risk factor for skin damage so the key to proper tanning is moderation. Moderation through proper indoor tanning has never been scientifically proven to be a causative factor of any kind of permanent skin damage.

Thou shalt notuse tacky tanning products 
True tan worshippers honor the Golden Rule: "Don't Burn." Never use sunscreen lotions or outdoor oils on a tanning bed. Instead, whenever possible, apply your tanning lotion an hour before your session begins so it has time to work into your skin. The complete line of the highest quality California Tanning products is available at Electric Sun for use in our salon, on the beach, anywhere you go. Be sure to talk to our staff about which products are right for you.

Thou shalt notsteal away without a base tan 
A vacation with a sunburn is no beach. A base tan is a must for a sunny escape from civilization. The American Academy of Dermatology reported a 9% increase in the number of people who are getting at least one sunburn each year – with non-tanners doing most of the burning. Among tanners, however, sunburn incidence is declining significantly. It seems the dermatology industry's anti-tanning efforts have made people so afraid of the sun, they don't prepare properly and end up getting burned.

Thou shalt notlet thy membership expire 
It's a sin to deny yourself the ongoing pleasures of a healthy tan. Your Electric Sun membership is designed to be as flexible as you want it to be, with plenty of membership options and equipment to choose from.

Thou shaltbe free to tan on the seventh day 
Some of our members consider their tanning time a religious experience. That's why the higher powers have made it possible for Electric Sun to stay open seven days a week – including Sundays.

Thou shalt nottan on a dirty bed 
Cleanliness is next to godliness so we follow the strictest cleaning regimen under the sun. After every tanning session, we use the highest quality hypoallergenic, antibiotic cleaning solutions. And we regularly and meticulously clean our tanning equipment from the inside out.

Thou shalt notbear false witness without telling us first 
If you're not happy, we're not happy. So if you have any complaints, questions, or concerns about our service, equipment or facilities, please tell us right away so we can do whatever it takes to make your tanning experience right. Always be sure to tell us when you are taking medication – certain antidepressant, birth control and acne medications can make your skin more sun sensitive.

Thou shaltrefer thy friends 
What goes around, comes around. So when you do good and refer your friends to Electric Sun, you get Brownie Points. Your Brownie Points can be redeemed for free tans, tanning upgrades or products. When the friends you refer become new members you get even more Brownie Points. Before you know it, you are swimming in Brownie Points and free tans.
