Skin Type Analysis
The Golden Rule of Smart Tanning is simple: Don't EVER sunburn!

Sol Tan is a professional indoor tanning facility and is dedicated to helping you avoid sunburn whether you are a tanner here or outdoors under the sun.

Helping you understand how much sun your skin type can handle is an important step in your life-long skin care regime.

Our message: Moderate sun exposure for individuals who can develop a tan is the smartest way to maximize the real benefits of sunlight while minimizing the risks of too much or too little sun exposure.
