The use of outdoor tanning lotions or oils and baby oils are prohibited at Beyond Bronze. These products contain ingredients that are harmful for our acrylics. The ingredients can cause fogging, scratching, premature cracking, and pitting thus not allowing the UVA and UVB rays to penetrate the surface and tan your skin. The acrylic pieces are very expensive to replace. We strive to keep our high end equipment in top quality shape to provide you the best tan possible. Please help us continue to provide you with excellent tanning equipment.
