If you’re considering using a sunbed for the first time, you might be wondering what the experience entails and how to prepare.
Sunbed tanning is a controlled way to achieve a bronzed glow, but it’s important to know what to expect and how to tan responsibly. According to the Sunbed Association in England, a key factor is ensuring that your sunbed use is tailored to your skin type and tanning goals.
1. Personalized Guidance
At Total Tanning, we take your skin’s health seriously. Our team of experienced professionals will guide you through the process, starting with a consultation to determine your skin type. This is important because different skin types react differently to UV exposure. Based on this, we’ll recommend an appropriate tanning schedule and the best sunbed for you, ensuring your sessions are safe and effective.
2. What Happens During a Session
When you enter the sunbed room, you’ll lie down or stand inside the tanning unit, depending on the bed type. Sessions typically last between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on your skin’s tolerance to UV light and the intensity of the sunbed. Protective eyewear is mandatory and will be provided to shield your eyes from UV rays. As you relax during your session, you may feel the warmth of the UV light, but it should never be uncomfortable.
3. Aftercare
Post-session, it’s normal for your skin to continue tanning for up to 48 hours. Moisturizing afterward is essential to keep your skin hydrated and prolong your tan. Total Tanning offers a variety of lotions and aftercare products to maximize your results and protect your skin.
At Total Tanning, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive environment for both new and experienced tanners. Visit us for expert advice on responsible tanning and enjoy your sunbed experience with confidence!
