How To Prolong Your Tan




Want to maximise your tan to the fullest and keep your colour for as long as possible? This blog will tell you all about the tips and tricks we recommend to achieve your deepest and longest-lasting bronze ever.

Prep

The first step to achieving your desired tan is your prep. Making sure your skin is moisturised and exfoliated is proven to deliver a darker and longer-lasting tan. Dry skin can slow down your tan developing as it reflects light rather than absorbing it.

 

Accelerator

The second step is to make sure you are using a tanning accelerator cream. There are hundreds of different tanning creams on the market, but you need to make sure you are purchasing them from a trusted supplier so that you know they are safe for sunbeds. We recommend Bliss to our clients as they provide high quality creams at affordable prices. They are a trusted supplier and all their tanning creams are safe to use on the sunbeds.

Minute Routine

The third step is to make sure you are using your minutes wisely. It is proven to have a darker and longer-lasting effect if you go on the sunbeds more often but for smaller amounts of minutes. For example, you will achieve a better tan from going on the sunbeds 3 times a week for 9 minutes each time rather than going on twice for 15 minutes each time.

 

Alternating Sunbed Types

The fourth step is to alternate the sunbed types you use. Using a laydown constantly leave you with white patches in places such as your armpits. Going on standups every now and again will help to give you a more even tan, leaving you without those white patches.

 

Shower Routine

The fifth step is to make sure you have a good shower routine. It is recommended that if you leave a couple of hours after your sunbed session before showering, you can achieve a darker tan that lasts longer. It is also recommended that your shower temperature should be lukewarm, as hot water can be known to strip your body of its natural oils.

 

If you follow all of these steps above, you should achieve your desired tan that lasts.
