The present invention relates to an apparatus for tanning which may be easily and conveniently used inside the home. The invention employs a tent structure which can be disassembled and stored in a small place and a conventional sunlamp. The interior surfaces of the tent structure are made of a reflective material. The sunlamp is positioned between the reflective surfaces. In use, a person lies in the interior of the structure below the sunlamp. The person receives direct ultraviolet rays from the sunlamp but in addition receives reflected multidirectional ultraviolet rays from the interior reflective surfaces. The reflected rays increase the surface of the skin which may be reached by ulraviolet rays thereby promoting a more even tan.
