How to get a deep dark tan using tanning beds!

Using a tanning bed is a safe and effective way to develop that deep dark bronzed tan while increasing your vitamin D levels. During a tanning session the skin oxidises it's melanin which darkens the cells and produces a tan.

We recommend around 3 sessions a week until your tan is developed and then 2 sessions weekly after that to maintain the tan, leaving 24 hours between each session this allows the tan to build up and to give the skin a chance to regenerate.


A few steps we recommend to get that deep dark long lasting tan is:


Using a tanning lotion:

Tanning lotions/accelerators contain ingredients that help stimulate melanin production and promote a faster and deeper tan. There is a great number of sunbed creams, varying from moisturisers and coolers to bronzers and creams with tingle factors. All these products are specifically formulated in a way that enables you to tan faster and get a darker colour. Make sure you use products suitable for your skin type. If you are a beginner tanner, avoid some of those products such as bronzers and tingles.


Exfoliating and moisturising:

Before each tanning session exfoliating is a must, this helps to remove any dead cells from the skins surface ensuring the skin is ready to tan. The light penetrates easier the exfoliated outermost layer of the skin and activates the production of melanin. A moisturised and healthy skin tans easier and faster compared to dry skin which reflects the UV rays. These two factors really help to prolong your tan.


Remove any kind of makeup:

Make-up and other cosmetics can block the pores of your skin as well as the UV rays for penetrating it. No to mention that cosmetics may contain some ingredients that can react to UV light. This can make the skin more sensitive causing allergies or other adverse effects. For this reason, it is preferable to have a shower prior to tanning or use make up removal wipes  to remove any forms of make-up, perfume or cosmetic and keep your skin completely clean.


Don't take a shower straight after your tanning session:

The tanning process keeps working even after you walk out of the tanning salon. We recommend waiting a few hours before you shower after your tanning session to allow the tanning lotion/oil to fully absorb into your skin and to prolong the tan.


We have many different tanning products that delivers a deep dark tan in only a few weeks.. from tanning lotions, gels, drops and sprays each products helps to increase melanin in the skin giving you that bronzed glow.
