Tanning FAQ

Do you have to use creams?   

 

Firstly, all perfumes and makeup should be removed and you should ideally take a shower or bath beforehand because a clean skin always tans more easily. We recommend a tanning cream for use with sunbeds. It contains a built-in tan accelerator, essential moisturisers and collagen. It is not advisable that you use any cream with an SPF (Skin Protection Factor) in it, as you would have to spend longer on your sunbed.  

  

What about my skin 'drying up'? 

 

Provided that tanning times are adhered to, a sunbed should not dry up your skin. However, it is recommended that you use a 'UVA Tanning Cream'  mentioned above or a good moisturiser after each session. 

  

What will happen if you fall asleep? 

 

Nothing. The sunbed has a resettable timer which automatically switches off when your time has elapsed. 

    

'I have used a sunbed before and have felt it was a complete waste of money as my skin did not change colour.' Why?

 

Were your sessions long enough? Did you have enough sessions? The only way you can guarantee a really efficient tan is by discussing this with our staff and booking a course.
