Glow Better: The Ultimate Guide to Responsible Tanning

A beautiful tan isn't just about spending time on a sunbed—it's about tanning responsibly, caring for your skin, and following the right routine. By taking a smart approach, you'll achieve a deeper, more even glow that lasts longer while keeping your skin looking and feeling its best.


1. Start with Your Skin Type

No two people tan the same way, which is why understanding your skin type is the first step towards achieving your ideal colour safely.

When you visit our salon, we'll provide a complimentary consultation to help determine your skin type and recommend a tanning plan that's right for you.

For the best results:

  • Begin with shorter tanning sessions and gradually build your colour.
  • Always follow the recommended session times provided by our trained team.
  • Allow at least 24 hours between tanning sessions to give your skin time to develop your tan.

Building your tan gradually helps create a more natural-looking, longer-lasting glow.


2. Don't Skip the Tanning Lotion

Using a professional tanning lotion is one of the easiest ways to enhance your results.

Specially formulated indoor tanning lotions can:

  • Help your skin tan more efficiently.
  • Keep your skin hydrated and conditioned.
  • Encourage a smoother, more even-looking tan.
  • Leave your skin feeling soft and healthy after every session.

Choosing the right lotion for your skin type can make a noticeable difference to both your tanning results and your skin's condition. Our team will be happy to recommend the perfect product for your tanning goals.


3. Keep Your Glow Going with Aftercare

Your tanning session doesn't end when you leave the salon. Looking after your skin afterwards is essential if you want your tan to stay vibrant for as long as possible.

To maintain your colour:

  • Apply a quality moisturiser every day to keep your skin hydrated.
  • Choose warm or lukewarm showers instead of very hot water, which can dry out your skin.
  • Drink plenty of water to keep your skin healthy from the inside out.
  • Continue using tan-extending skincare products to help preserve your colour.

Healthy, hydrated skin not only looks better but also holds onto your tan for longer.



Your Best Glow Starts Here

Achieving a beautiful tan is all about balance. Start gradually, use professional tanning lotions, and make aftercare part of your routine. With the right approach, you can enjoy a natural-looking glow while keeping your skin in great condition.

Whether you're preparing for a holiday, a special occasion, or simply love that sun-kissed look, we're here to help you tan confidently and responsibly every step of the way.
