We strongly recommend the use of a tanning lotion during your tanning sessions. There are many reasons why we recommend applying a tanning lotion:

They improve your tanning results:

• Tanning lotions have been designed to help encourage a deeper natural tan. This ensures that the results you gain develop faster, are deeper, and last longer than if you were to tan without a lotion. 
• The use of a tanning lotion kickstarts the tanning process within 30 seconds. Without the use of a lotion, this can take up to 3 minutes to begin. 
• Some tanning lotions contain natural colour boosters, such as Beta Carotene or Melanin which will work to enhance your natural tan even faster.

Tanning lotions can also contain extra added features:

• Tanning lotions are crammed full of skincare ingredients, ensuring that the tanning process does not dry out your skin, and acting as an anti-ageing agent. 
• Some tanning lotions contain ingredients that will help to prevent tattoos from fading in UV light. 
• If you do not apply a tanning lotion before your session, your skin can become drier. Your skin may begin to overproduce its natural oils, which may lead to skin sensitivities.
• Tanning lotions contain ingredients that work to neutralise your body’s pH, ensuring you do not smell after tanning.
• Skin can feel softer and more supple when tanning lotion is applied regularly thanks to the premium skincare that features.
