Sunbed Tanning: Everything You Need to Know for a Perfect Glow

Looking to achieve that sun-kissed glow all year round? Whether you're prepping for a vacation, a special event, or just want to feel radiant and confident, sunbed tanning can be a game-changer when done right. At Fierce Tanning, we’re here to help you understand the ins and outs of sunbed tanning so you can get that flawless glow safely and effectively.


What is Sunbed Tanning?

Sunbed tanning, also known as indoor tanning, involves the use of tanning beds or booths that emit controlled levels of UV light to darken the skin. It mimics the sun’s rays but allows for a more targeted and time-efficient experience.


Unlike outdoor sun exposure, tanning beds give you control over the duration and intensity, making it easier to manage your results and minimize the risk of burning—especially when guided by trained professionals.


Benefits of Sunbed Tanning

  1. Even, All-Over Color: Tanning beds help you achieve an even tan without tan lines or missed spots.

  2. Time Efficiency: Just a few sessions can give you the glow you’d otherwise spend weeks working on.

  3. Vitamin D Boost: UV light exposure can aid in natural Vitamin D production, especially during winter months.

  4. Confidence Boost: A golden tan can enhance your skin tone and boost your self-confidence.


Know Your Skin Type

Before hopping into a sunbed, it’s essential to understand your Skin Type. Skin types are typically classified on a scale from I to VI based on how your skin reacts to sun exposure. Knowing your skin type helps determine how long you should tan and what precautions to take to avoid overexposure or burning.


How to Prep for a Sunbed Tan

Getting the best results starts with proper preparation. Here’s what to do before your appointment:

  • Exfoliate 24 hours before to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth base.

  • Avoid heavy lotions or oils before your session—they can block UV rays.

  • Remove makeup and jewelry to allow full exposure.

  • Wear proper eye protection—your eyes are extra sensitive to UV light.


During Your Session

Relax and let the bed do the work! Depending on your skin type and tanning goals, sessions can range from a few minutes to around 12 minutes. Start with shorter sessions and gradually build up your exposure to avoid over-tanning.


Our Sunbed Services are tailored to your unique skin type and tanning preferences, ensuring you get the safest and most effective tan possible.


Aftercare is Key

Post-tan care is just as important as prep:

  • Moisturize daily to keep your tan vibrant and your skin healthy.

  • Hydrate—drinking plenty of water helps your skin stay supple.

  • Avoid hot showers right after your session, as they can strip moisture and reduce your glow.

  • Wait at least 24 hours between sessions to allow your skin to process the tan and avoid irritation.
