Every bed we run is fully 0.3 compliant, we're proud members of The Sunbed Association, and we operate a strict 18+ policy. Our certified team will always help you find a sensible session time for your skin — but here are the basics worth knowing before you tan.
We'd always rather you tanned safely than quickly. Here's how we look after you at every session.
We provide protective goggles free of charge — worn for the whole session, every time. Simply closing your eyes isn't enough.
New to tanning? We start you at just 3 minutes at a time so your skin can build a base safely.
More advanced tanners with a darker skin tone can build up to a maximum of 18 minutes.
We recommend leaving at least 48 hours between visits, so your skin has time to recover.
…any of the below applies to you — or check with your GP or pharmacist first. If you're ever unsure, just ask our team; we'd always rather you were safe.
It's the law, and we never make exceptions.
Very fair skin that always burns and rarely tans isn't suited to UV tanning.
Please speak to your GP before tanning.
If you've had skin cancer, or it runs in your family.
Some antibiotics, antidepressants and skin treatments increase UV sensitivity — check with your GP or pharmacist.
Creams, cosmetics or perfumes that increase sensitivity to light.
Please check with your midwife or GP first.
Never tan on burnt skin, or if a condition of yours is made worse by sunlight.
If your skin becomes red, sore, blistered or itchy, stop tanning and give it time to recover.
See your GP or a pharmacist if a mole changes in size, shape or colour, or a mark won't heal.
If you've had any reaction, let us know — we'll happily pause or adjust your sessions.
For the full picture, we always point people to the experts.
