Here is a list of caution for you.

1. First things first, know your skin type first. For, your skin type plays a crucial role in deciding duration of your tanning session.

2. Now before you lie for a tanning session, it is important for you to clean your skin completely from the ingredients of any makeup or perfume or deodorant as these things make your skin more prone to sunburns. Take a shower before a session if possible.

3. Moisturizing your skin with lotions, before and after the tanning session, is also a must. Simply do not rub on completely, allow some visible portion of cream to remain on the skin to increase protection.

4. If you are tanning under the sun, wear hat and sunglasses. Tanning bikinis and nickers are also essential both for sun tanning and sunless tanning. Inside a tanner wear those goggles meant for tanning only.
