Exfoliate your skin
You don't want to tan on dry, dead skin that'll just flake off in a few days. Make sure you exfoliate your skin before you start tanning, and your tan will last longer.

Moisturise your skin
Start moisturising daily from today to make sure your skin is hydrated. Hydrated skin will absorb more UV and your tan will last longer. No moisturiser should be worn on the day you visit us as they contain oils that can cause you to burn when tanning.

Never tan dry - use a professional tanning lotion for a 60% darker tan
Using a tanning lotion helps protect your skin from ageing while you tan.
They keep your skin hydrated and help absorb more UV, so you'll get more from each tanning session than tanning dry.
You'll tan faster and this will mean fewer visits to the salon.

How many minutes/sessions you need and how often you need to visit

If you're using our lay-down or stand-up sun beds, we recommend starting back at 4 or 5 minutes for your first few sun beds.
Having fewer minutes more frequently will build you a darker, longer-lasting tan faster than visiting just once a week and opting for more minutes.

Try not to spread your tanning sessions too far apart. It'll take you longer to build a base tan.

Book 2 - 3 sun beds per week for your first few weeks of tanning, then once you've achieved your desired colour, keep this topped up with a weekly visit.

For example, if you have fair skin:

Sessions 1 - 3 4 minutes
Sessions 4 - 6 5 minutes
Sessions 7 - 10 6 minutes

...and so on until you've reached your desired colour.

Gradually increase your tanning session by 1 minute at a time. Never increase by 2 minutes.

It takes on average 2 hours of tanning time to build your desired colour. If you want to speed up the time this takes you, we recommend using our Sun Angel sun bed as you only need 6 x 20-minute Sun Angel sessions.

We are extremely passionate about safe tanning. Our team are trained to advise you on how to get a safe tan, as quickly as possible, please take their advice, and we promise you'll achieve your desired results.

Going red does not mean you'll get a good tan
If there is any redness or tightness of your skin, you've had too many minutes.

Please do not book your next sun bed until the redness has gone down and reduce your tanning minutes.

Leave a minimum of 48 hours between each tanning session to give your tan time to develop.
