First timer on a Sunbed eh?
I work in a beauty Salon which has a fast tan sunbed which works by going on it 3, 6 or 9mins at a time. You can buy sunbed courses of 30mins up to about 90+mins, and you just go in and just say you want to use say 3mins of the course you have paid for and it is just taken off each amount left. You might need to fill out a card at your nearest salon before you start using it.
I suggest, if you go on a fast tan sunbed, to start of with a few 3minute sessions, just to help you and your skin get used to the heat. Once you feel comfortable enough with going on for 3mins, you can move up to 6mins and then after a few of those sessions, move up to 9. But I do recommend you only go on every other day if you can. Everyday isn’t good for your skin.
Sunbeds are also great to build up a base tan before you go on holiday abroad as it prevents you from burning so quickly and easily.
There are sunbed creams you can use, most which help to enhance and prolong your tanning by about 55% also keeping your skin moisturised at the same time. Try not to use any creams with Bronzers in as they have a tendency to leave you slighty streaky.
The main contra-indications of using a sunbed are:
•Sunburnt skin
•Having used a sun-bed already in the last 24 hours
•Clients with conditions made worse by UV light or light
•Skin Cancer
•Pregnancy
•Epilepsy
So check these over first and double check at your nearest salon that has a sunbed for further contra-indications they go by.
But overall, despite the things you hear about sunbeds, they are a great way to build up a natural real tan gradually without using the fake tans that only give you colour for about a week. Doctors even recommend them to people who suffer from psoriasis and other skin conditions.
Hope this has been helpful
