No, you don't need to flip over in a tanning bed. In fact, many people tan stomach-down because it's more comfortable that way. However, if you want an evenly distributed tan, then you should flip over halfway through your session so that both sides of your body get equal exposure to the UV rays.
Rotate Your Position
To ensure an even tan, change your position regularly while on the sunbed. Lying in one position for the entire session can result in uneven tanning and missed spots. Rotate your body every few minutes to expose all body parts uniformly to the UV light.
Q4: Do I have to turn around on a sunbed?

Best Positions to Get an Even Tan
Start Flat: Begin your session lying flat on your back. This position exposes the largest surface area of your body to UV rays.
Moderate tanning of 2-3 sessions a week is OK for everyone else but ensure you rest the skin for a minimum of 24 hours between each session and at least 48 hours for skin type 2. The European Standard advises not to exceed 60 sessions per annum.
Avoid using harsh or fragranced products immediately after tanning, as they may further irritate the skin.

To make effective use of the tanning accelerator, use it before and after using the sunbed. 30 minutes before using the sunbed, exfoliate and apply the accelerator evenly onto all of the skin. After using the sunbed, apply the accelerator to the tanned skin 1-2 times per day in order to prolong the tan.
Avoid wearing make-up, perfume or deodorant on the day of the tanning bed session. That's because these chemicals can negatively impact the even result of the final tan. For the same reason, please don't wear watches or jewellery.
How Long Does It Take to Get A Tan? Usually, the results are noticeable after three tanning sessions, but it may take a few weeks of consistency to get a defined tan (at least 3-4 times weekly). If you are preparing a base tan before going on a holiday, consider starting tanning three weeks prior.
There is also strong evidence suggesting that exposure to UV rays, both UVA and UVB, can cause skin cancer. UV radiation may promote skin cancer in two different ways: By damaging the DNA in skin cells, causing the skin to grow abnormally and develop benign or malignant growths.
