How often should clients typically tan to maintain results?

To maintain optimal tanning results, clients are generally advised to tan every other week. This schedule allows for the skin to gradually develop and retain a tan without the risk of overexposure or damaging the skin. Tanning every other week strikes a balance between maintaining color and allowing the skin sufficient time to recover, reducing the likelihood of skin irritation or adverse reactions.

The recommendation of every other week provides a reasonable frequency that helps clients keep their desired skin tone while also taking into account the skin's natural renewal process. Regular tanning, while not overly frequent, enables the skin to gradually build and sustain a bronzed appearance.

Tanning once a month may not be frequent enough for those looking to maintain a darker or more pronounced tan. Similarly, tanning once a week could lead to a more rapid buildup of melanin, potentially increasing the risk of skin damage or irritation, especially for clients with sensitive skin. Tanning every day is generally considered excessive and can pose significant risks, including sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
