18s and over only
UK law states that persons under the age of 18 are prohibited from using UV tanning equipment or entering any rooms containing UV tanning equipment.
If you are lucky enough to look under 21, we will ask you for proof of age in store before we will allow you to use UV tanning equipment. Please don’t be offended if you are asked, this is for your safety. This would need to be photo ID in the form of a passport, driving license
Can I use normal moisturiser or high-street suncream?
We strongly advise against this. Outdoor suncreams contain SPF which actually blocks the UV rays you’re paying for. Standard high-street moisturisers often contain oils that can damage the acrylic on the beds. We stock a range of specialist, moisture-boosting lotions specifically designed to accelerate your tan and protect our equipment
How long does it take to build up a tan?
Building a tan is dependent on skin type and the condition of the skin. Dry skin reflects light and as the cells shed more frequently, any tan developed does not last. Fair skin tans more quickly whereas medium and dark skin types are more resistant to the tanning process, requiring more sessions. The time taken to build a tan varies depending on many factors, but on average, a base tan can be developed between 3 and 5 sessions.
You are able to maximise your tanning potential by ensuring that the skin is fully exfoliated and thoroughly moisturised. We stock a wide range of UV lotions that encourage the tanning process as well as replace moisture lost during your session. Our tanning consultants are trained to help you find a lotion to suit your preferences and tanning requirements.
