FAQ’s
General Information
Sunbeds emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation, similar to the sun, which stimulates the production of melanin in your skin, leading to a tan. Our sunbeds are equipped with advanced technology to provide a controlled and effective tanning experience.
We offer a range of sunbeds to suit different preferences and tanning goals, including [mention the types you have, e.g., lay-down beds, stand-up booths, high-pressure beds]. Our trained staff can help you choose the best option for your needs.
Safety and Responsible Use
Understanding your skin type is crucial for safe tanning. Different skin types react to UV light in different ways. Our trained staff will help you determine your skin type using the Fitzpatrick scale and recommend appropriate exposure times to minimise the risk of overexposure.
Session times vary depending on your skin type and the type of sunbed. We strictly adhere to recommended exposure guidelines and will advise you on the optimal session duration for your skin type and tanning goals. It’s always best to start with shorter sessions and gradually increase as your tan develops.
To tan responsibly, we recommend allowing at least 24-48 hours between tanning sessions to allow your skin to recover. Overexposure can lead to skin damage. Our staff will help you create a safe and effective tanning schedule.

Preparing for Your Session

Yes, using a quality tanning lotion specifically designed for sunbed use can help moisturise your skin, enhance your tan, and potentially shorten your session time. We offer a range of professional tanning lotions for sale.
During and After Your Session
You’ll relax comfortably on or in the sunbed while the UV lamps emit light. Most sessions are relatively short. If you feel any discomfort, you can end the session early.
Moisturising your skin after tanning is important to keep it hydrated and prolong your tan. You can use a regular moisturiser or an after-tan lotion.
The duration of your tan depends on various factors, including your skin type and how frequently you tan. Typically, a tan will last for a few weeks as your skin naturally sheds its outer layers. Regular, responsible tanning sessions can help maintain your desired glow.
Specific Concerns
