10 minutes in a tanning bed is equivalent to about 30-35 minutes of sun exposure. Tanning beds are more intense than natural sunlight, so this means that during the same amount of time, you can get a darker tan in a tanning bed compared to natural sunlight. However, it is important to follow the instructions of the tanning bed to ensure that you don’t get too much exposure.
