UK law states that persons under the age of 18 are prohibited from using UV tanning equipment or entering any rooms containing UV tanning equipment. However, persons under the age of 18 are able to use spray tanning services at The Tanning Shop (Under-16’s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
If you are lucky enough to look under 21, we will ask you for proof of age in store before we will allow you to use UV tanning equipment. Please don’t be offended if you are asked, this is for your safety. This would need to be photo ID in the form of a passport, driving license or PASS card and include a date of birth.
Moisture is key to tanning and a UV lotion is designed to replace moisture lost during the tanning session. However, this is not it’s only function. Many lotions contain Tyrosine, an ingredient that stimulates the tanning process.
Other lotions contain cosmetic bronzers, or DHA (the main ingredient of fake tan). The new generation of lotions contain ingredients that refine and enhance the skin as well as ingredients that push the tanning process beyond the natural tanning plateau.
Our Tanning Consultants are trained to identify the type of lotion to suit your tanning requirements and even your preferences of scent and texture!
Dry skin reflects light and sheds more frequently. Any tan that develops is shallow and does not last. Moisturising is key to developing a deeper, darker tan. A week before your first session, thoroughly exfoliate and moisturise. Ensure that you moisturise after every bath or shower and use a UV specific lotion during your session.
The amount of time left between sessions varies depending on skin type and whether you are building or maintaining a tan. Our policy states that no more than one session can be used in any 24-hour period. The reason for this being that the tanning process takes 24 hours to complete and as such, this reduces the risk of over-exposure and maximises your tanning potential.
When building a tan, it is important to not leave more than 72 hours between sessions as after this time, the tan will begin to recede.
Our tanning consultants are trained to assist you in designing your personal tanning plan which is determined by your skin type, tanning history and tanning preferences.
The type of ballast can vary. Ballasts are used to control the power sent to the UV lamps. Electronic ballasts use a series of induction coils whereas Magnetic ballasts use one.
Beds with a magnetic ballast may have a minimal flicker or hum whereas this is almost non-existent a bed with electronic ballasts. UV equipment is designed to contain the lamps, starters and ballasts behind a specifically designed acrylic composite that allows UV rays to work effectively. Modern ballasts work at a much higher frequency, allowing for more efficient use of power.
