achieved skin colour is similar to a natural tan.
Nevertheless, the skin's reaction to sun exposure is different
for every individual.
Skin Types and Exposure Time
Everyone knows the specific tanning behaviour of its skin at
direct sunlight. A similar reaction can be expected from
exposure to artificial light. If your skin tolerates much sun,
you might tan faster but if you are not getting a tan at all,
there is only a small change for success with UVA tanners,
too.
Classification of skin types in accordance with the reaction
of non pre tanned skin to natural sun light

Determine your individually fitting exposure time after
careful consideration regarding your own experiences with
natural sun.
The use of a tanner is only recommended for persons of the
skin types II, III, or IV.
Persons of skin type I and children under 14 years are unable
to develop a normal tan. This applies to natural sunlight as
well as artificial radiation.
