Glow tip of the day: moisturized skin tans better and holds color longer. Dry winter skin reflects UV light, causing patchy or faded color. A good moisturizer lets your skin drink up the tan evenly, keeps it soft, and extends your glow. Use salon-approved lotions for the best results—they’re made for tanning beds and won’t block your color. Your tan stays deeper, smoother, and so much prettier.

We live in the land of snow, windchill, and “why is it dark at 3 p.m.?” Indoor tanning is the warm escape Alaskans secretly survive winter with. It boosts your mood, warms your body, and gives you color when the outside world is aggressively pale. Sun City Tanning is basically your mini tropical vacation right on Lake Otis. 😉

Level 3 is the “I need color FAST” bed. Richer lamps, shorter sessions, and deeper color in less time—yes please. If you want a noticeable glow before the weekend, a trip, or a night out, Level 3 hits different. It’s quick, warm, and makes you feel like you’re stepping out of a photoshoot.

If you're new to tanning or coming back after a long winter break, Level 2 is the perfect way to ease in. Warm, gentle, and ideal for building a base tan you can deepen later. Short, steady sessions = a safe, even glow. Plus, it’s a cozy little break from the cold. Your skin and mood will thank you.

Winter drains your sunshine, your mood, and honestly… your glow. Indoor tanning gives you back that warmth you’re missing when Alaska is doing its coldest, darkest thing. A few minutes under controlled UV light helps your skin produce melanin, boosts Vitamin D levels, and gives you that “I just flew home from Hawaii” energy. At Sun City Tanning, you control the bronze—Level 2, Level 3, Open Sun, or Hybrid Red Light. Warm bed. Cozy tan. Instant mood boost. Winter may be bruta

When the temps drop and the sun taps out at 3 p.m., your skin (and mood!) start begging for a little warmth. Indoor tanning gives you that quick, controlled dose of sunshine your body has been missing. A few minutes in a warm bed can boost your Vitamin D, brighten your mood, and bring back that “I swear I just got back from vacation” glow. At Sun City Tanning, you choose your sunshine—Level 2, Level 3, the Open Sun high-pressure bed, or our Hybrid Red Light for a beauty-boost
