After 2-4 days on Step 1, you should begin to have clearly defined swimsuit lines. Once you have these visible lines, your skin is sufficiently "conditioned" to move to Step 2 if you desire more color at a faster pace. To move at a slower pace, remain on the product recommended in Step 1, and gradually increase exposure time - never exceeding 2 hour sessions before taking a 30 minute break. | ||||||||

After 3-5 days on Step 2, your color will begin to develop further. For many, this step helps to promote as much color as desired. Remaining on the product recommended in Step 2 will continue to develop color at a moderate pace. However, if you wish to deepen the good base that is developed in this step, you may progress to Step 3 once you have built up to 2 hour sessions in Step 2. | ||||||||

Gradually build your sessions until they are 2 hours in length. Never stay longer than 2 hours in the sun without taking a break to allow your skin temperature to cool down. Drink plenty of liquids during each break to rehydrate what the sun has dehydrated through perspiration. | ||||||||
