The Glow Up Salon

For users who are using a sunbed for the first time, there is no rush and health and safety comes first. It is suggested to have shorter sessions up to 3 minutes up to three times a week based on your skin type. This will help you build your tan up gradually. For those that are more experienced, then you could have sessions up to 6 minutes. In any case, the amount of time spent in a sunbed should vary according on your skin type and should comply with the safety guidelines.

The tanning process is different from person to person. Tanning on a regular basis within the safety tanning guidelines will enable you to see results and prevent your tan from fading. Do not use any tanning equipment more than once in the same 24 hours. It is always recommended to repeat the tanning session to build up your tan gradually.

The minimum age to tan in the UK is 18 and no one under the age of 18 is allowed to enter any tanning room or use any UV tanning equipment. We reserve full rights to ask for ID if someone does not look over the age of 18.

The indoor tanning process is quite similar to that of tanning outdoors since the UV lamps imitate the sun. Tanning takes place when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light. The lamps in indoor tanning equipment emit UV light, as the sun does, but with different ratio of UVA and UVB and in a more controlled environment. In a sunbed, you have control over your exposure and you can achieve even results following the correct exposure times for your skin.
