Question: I heard that getting a Spray Tan will streak, making you look like a zebra. Does yours do that?

Question: Like the feeling/energy I get when I am in the sunshine. I find in the Fall and Winter months, I do not feel the same way (due to lack of sunshine) Do tanning beds give you the same type of energized feeling.
Answer: Hi Kathryn YES THEY DO! Humans as all animals have a natural attraction to the sun! Why? Because we NEED it! The energy you get is from vitamin D which is achieved best through indoor tanning in the winter months here in our northern hemisphere. In one tanning session, you receive between 10,000 – 20,000 units of Vitamin D compared to a supplement of 1,000. Wow, what a difference.

At Midnight Sun their is NO excuses because we provide the goggles to our customers FREE of charge for them to borrow and are disinfected after each use.
