Getting a tan is what a lot of people do every summer, however the amount of UV rays from the sun nowadays can be unpredictable and may be harmful to the skin without proper protection. There are also times when the sun is not available to give you the tanned skin you desire. In times like this, artificial sources such as a tanning bed come in handy. Clean and exfoliate your skin prior to tanning. Exfoliation after the tanning process may result in uneven skin colour. Moisturise skin regularly-it will absorb UV rays more efficiently and therefore will tan faster. Moisturisation is also key in aiding the skin to perform at its optimal efficiency and this will allow the development of faster,darker colour. Skin that is dry and dehydrated will look dull and ashy and will not be able to achieve the maximum tanning effect. Use a tanning lotion from our extensive range here in the salon. Healthy moisturised skin will tan darker and faster and will stay tanned for much longer. Using a tanning lotion will double your tanning results each session. Dry skin will reflect UV light, if your skin is dry you will get a surface tan that you will lose very quickly because your skin will exfoliate faster, bringing your tan with it. Using a lotion will also help ward off fine lines and wrinkles. Think of a grape, when you remove moisture it becomes a raisin. This is what happens to your skin if you tan without moisturising. Dont shower directly after your tanning session, let the melanin in your skin absorb the tan. Use the goggles provided during the tanning session to protect the retina of your eyes, resulting in safer tanning.
