How often should clients tan to avoid overexposure?

Clients should tan 2-3 times per week to avoid overexposure because this frequency allows for optimal results while minimizing the risk of skin damage. Tanning, whether through natural sunlight or artificial tanning devices, exposes the skin to UV rays, which can lead to issues such as sunburn and long-term skin damage, including an increased risk of skin cancer.

Tanning 2-3 times a week strikes a balance between allowing the skin to build a healthy tan and giving it time to recover. This schedule helps the skin to produce melanin gradually and reduces the chances of overexposure, which can occur with more frequent sessions.

Tanning once a day or every day can lead to cumulative exposure and increase the risk of adverse effects, while tanning once a month is too infrequent for most clients to achieve desired tanning results. Therefore, the recommendation of 2-3 times per week is a responsible approach to maintaining a tan while prioritizing skin health.
