January Blues? Here’s How Responsible UV Exposure Can Support Your Mood
January is often one of the hardest months of the year. Shorter days, colder weather and returning to routine after the Christmas break can often leave people feeling those ‘January Blues’ – low energy and unmotivated.
While there isn’t one single solution for beating the January Blues, building intentional wellness habits and self-care routines can make a real difference. For some, responsible UV light exposure can play a supportive role during the darker winter months, helping to encourage routine, boost confidence, and lift overall wellbeing
The Impact of Winter
Reduced daylight in the winter can affect how you feel, mentally & physically. People can notice
- Low energy levels
- Lack of routine
- Reduced motivation
- Feeling sluggish or withdrawn
This is where wellness and self-care routines come into play to help lift your mood and energy levels!
What Responsible UV Exposure Really Means
Controlled & timed sessions – Every session is carefully timed and monitored to help reduce the risk of overexposure. This allows customers to build their glow gradually.
Tailored to individual skin types – We understand that no two people are the same. That’s why sessions are tailored to suit individual skin types, helping each customer follow a tanning plan that’s appropriate for them.
Professionally trained tanning consultants – Our in-store team are professionally trained to provide advice and support throughout your tanning journey, from session length to products, helping customers make informed, responsible choices.
This approach focuses on skin health and avoids overexposure while allowing customers to get the benefits that can come with responsible UV light exposure.
How Responsible UV Exposure May Support Mood & Confidence
When used responsibly, UV light exposure can help support your wellbeing in the winter by:
- Encouraging Consistency and Routine – Booking a session can add structure to your week, something many people find helpful after the post-Christmas slump.
- Promotes confidence through a healthy glow – Feeling confident in your skin can have a real knock-on effect on mood, motivation, and energy levels, especially during a month that often feels grey and slow.
- Supporting a Sense of Self-Care – Making time for yourself can help you feel more refreshed, lifted, and re-focused during the darker months.
- Supporting Wellbeing When Daylight is Limited – During the darker winter months, responsible UV exposure can help provide vital light exposure and support your routine when natural daylight feels harder to come by.
Feeling confident in your skin can have a real knock-on effect on your mood, motivation, and energy levels, especially during a time of year that can feel grey and slow.
Wellness is all about balance. Beating the January Blues isn’t about doing more; it’s about choosing habits that support you consistently and intentionally. Responsible UV light exposure works best when it’s part of a wider self-care routine, and can be paired with other wellness-focused treatments such as Red Light Therapy.
Let us help you support confidence, routine, and wellbeing throughout January and beyond.
