Before you UV tan. Here’s what you need to know…

Exposure Time

It’s important to follow recommended exposure time for your sessions. Building up your exposure time gradually allows your skin to get used to the UV rays.

You should start on minimum minutes determined by your skin type, which will be recommended by tanning consultants in-store. N.B. If you book online our appointments are 20 minutes long. This will not be the length of your tanning time.

Optimise Tan

Bed Type

Stand-up bed: The perfect bed for an all-over tan. Stand-up beds provide a spacious environment which enables you to move around easily during your session to minimise tan lines.

Laydown bed: The perfect choice to relax and unwind.

Or pick a premium package which allows you to use both stand up and laydown, the perfect combination.

Always use a lotion

Our stores have a range of lotions; Accelerators, Intensifiers & Bronzers. Not sure what to pick? Tanning consultants can advise the best lotion determined by your skin type and tanning preferences.

It’s important to always use a lotion during your tanning session as dry skin reflects UV light, which prevents your skin from absorbing UV rays and may have an impact on your overall tanning result. Using a UV lotion can improve your tanning results but up to 50%

Remove makeup or cosmetics
Makeup and any other cosmetics can act as a barrier blocking your pores, which can stop your full tanning potential.

It can also cause uneven tanning results. It’s important to attend tanning sessions with no makeup or cosmetics on your skin. Free freshening wipes are provided every session for you should you wish to use these.

Skin Prep Advice

Before you Spray tan. Here’s what you need to know…

Exfoliation
Thoroughly exfoliate and moisturise your skin 24 hours prior to your session. This helps to create the optimal surface for the spray tan to adhere to. Not exfoliating fully will cause a patchy result.




Skin Prep Advice
Clothing & Cosmetics
On the day of your session, do not use any soap, deodorant, cosmetics or lotion of any type on your skin. Make sure to wipe your skin down to remove any residual moisturiser prior to your morning shower and shower/ bathe with clear water only. Make sure to wear loose, dark clothing to your session.

Skin Prep Advice

Barrier Cream
Immediately prior to your session, you will need to liberally coat your hands, elbows, knees and feet with the free barrier cream supplied, paying particular attention to the nails. These areas soak up spray tan a lot more than other areas due to the difference in the skin’s structure.

How to Use
Staff will tell you how to use the booth and if you are using the red and white Mystic HD booth, you are guided through the session by an automated voice. If you are unsure, please do not hesitate to ask a staff member for assistance
