These are a must for sunbed users. They are designed to protect your eyes from the UV light to ensure you avoid eye damage. The skin on the eyelid is too thin to provide sufficient protection. When using Tan Junkie creams, it's essential to follow the instructions for use and to use only a moderate amount of cream or lotion to prevent damage to the sunbed's acrylic surface and, if possible, to wipe any residual from the sunbed after use. For someone with a moderate tan, it is advised that as a maximum, you could use a sunbed 2-3 times per week. The European Standards recommend that you do not exceed using a sunbed more than 60 times per annum else you could be subject to overexposure. You should also leave at least 24 hours between each tanning session to allow your skin to regenerate. Clean up after yourself. Make sure you wipe down the sunbed with a clean towel after use to remove any excess cream or lotion. It is recommended that, as a minimum, you avoid UV exposure for 24 hours after a tanning session. For new tanners, this should be increased to 48 hours.

Top tip: For best results, apply your tanning lotion from bottom to top in a circular motion within 10 minutes of your tanning session! Sun creams can ruin salon equipment and acrylics if not used properly. Excessive use of creams and lotions can cause buildup on the sunbed's acrylic surface, leading to discolouration, staining, and damage to the acrylic. Trying something new is always daunting, however it doesn't need to be. No matter the question, we have you covered with our sunbed user's FAQs! If you do not use eye protection, you are risking your vision. Overexposure to UV can cause eyes to develop scar tissue. This can lead to colour blindness, a loss of night vision as well as other problems which cannot be reversed.It is strongly advised to not sunbathe before OR after using a sunbed as this is likely to cause your skin to burn. It will mean that your UV exposure is uncontrolled and lead to skin damage. The point of using a sunbed is to expose yourself to UV for a controlled amount of time, sunbathing immediately after this would mean you will become overexposed and at more risk of skin damage.

Outdoor tanning products can also damage tanning equipment, especially acrylic surfaces, which can be expensive for your salon to replace. Instead, it’s recommended that a professional tanning lotion is applied. This can be used before and after tanning. These lotions are crammed full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and natural oils to maximise tanning results and keep skin nourished and healthy. For best results, apply within 10 minutes of your tanning session, and moisturise daily for the best skin condition.This is dependent on the medicine that you have been prescribed. If a medicine is photosensitive, then it is strongly advised not to use a sunbed as these medicines will increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV light. Some medicines include antibiotics, tranquilisers, anti-diabetics, antidepressants, diuretics and sulphonamides however this list is not exhaustive. Tanning lotions are proven to have a stark affect on your tanning ability. They have been designed to rejuvenate and repair your skin, keeping it in better condition. Healthy skin allows you to tan faster, ensures your tan lasts for longer and gives you a better colour. The vitamins and minerals added can also help to combat the ageing process. By using a tanning lotion, the tanning process is sped up, meaning you save both time and money on tanning sessions to get the same (or even better) results.

Always read the label and remember that these types of creams offer no SPF. What is the Best Cream for Laydown Sunbeds? Thermal Blushers increase microcirculation and bring oxygen to the skin surface for extreme Hot Action. Not for the faint of heart. Using a sun cream whilst on a tanning bed will prevent you from building a tan, due to the limited time you spend tanning. This means your tanning session is essentially wasted.
