Sunbed Tanning

Get ready to unveil your sun-kissed glow in 3 - 8 days with our "base tan" regimen.

The day before or the morning of your session, indulge in some exfoliation to prep your canvas.

Arrive with squeaky-clean, moisturized skin – sunscreen is a no-no, unless you're aiming to keep certain areas pale.

Our savvy experts will decode your skin type and craft a bespoke sunbed exposure plan for optimal bronzing.

Before basking in the rays, slather on our salon-exclusive tan accelerator to supercharge your results, elevate your skin's radiance, and keep it quenched.

Post-tan, lavish your skin with high-quality moisturizers to prolong your golden hue and keep hydration levels on point. Remember, well-hydrated skin is the key to a flawless tan.

To uphold your base, schedule one to three sunbed sessions every 7 to 10 days, tailored to your skin type and bed preference. Your individual glow-up journey may vary.

Your Path to a Flawless Tan

Spray Tanning

CLEAN SKIN:

Prepare for your spray tan by gently exfoliating your skin with a washcloth or loofah, avoiding any abrasive products like salt or sugar scrubs.

Stick to simple washcloths, loofahs, and water-based shower gels—no oils or silicones allowed—as they leave residue on your skin.

Make sure your skin is free of any lotions or residues that could interfere with the spray tan solution's magic.

Avoid deodorants or perfumes.

Prior to your spray tan, treat your skin to a pH-balancing pre-product for that picture-perfect finish. Our team can guide you on your best options.

Post-spray tan, resist the urge to bathe for at least six to twenty hours. The longer the better - up to 20 hours MAX. If you're in a rush, opt for our accelerator additive to speed up the tan development process.

When you do bathe, keep it simple—water rinse only, with minimal soap on sensitive areas.

After every shower, slather on our water-based, aloe-infused moisturizer to keep that golden glow gleaming. Remember, steer clear of oils and silicones to maintain your tan's brilliance.

FAQ's

How long should my tanning session be?

Answer: The duration of your tanning session depends on various factors such as your skin type, tanning history, and the type of tanning bed. A typical session can range from 5 to 12 minutes.

How often should I tan to achieve the desired results?

Individuals with sensitive skin or a history of skin conditions should consult with their healthcare provider before tanning. Our staff can provide guidance on appropriate tanning methods and products.

How do I maintain my tan and ensure it lasts longer?

Answer: To maintain your tan, moisturize regularly to keep your skin hydrated and avoid exfoliating too frequently.
