The length of your tanning session varies depending on your skin type and UV exposure history. 

If you haven't used a sunbed before, we will allow you to use the minimum session which is 3 minutes. This is to gauge your skins response to UV exposure. From this we will be able to determine a tanning program that suits your skin, and gradually build up the session time accordingly. 

However, if you have used sunbeds before, one of our tanning consultants will ask you a series of questions to make sure the correct sunbed session is provided. 

 Sunbed eye protection is a must for every tanning session. It can take only a single tanning session to damage a tanner’s eyesight, therefore it must be protected as best as possible. In the same way that looking into the sun can negatively impact your vision in both the long and short term, this is the same for sunbeds. It is not worth the risk. 

• It’s best to shave and exfoliate a day or two before your tanning session.
• Exfoliating helps prepare you skin before you tan, removing dead skin cells will make it easier for your skin to activate melanin production providing a bronze tan. 
• Apply moisturiser daily to ensure your skin is not dry prior to tanning.
• Remove any make up or deodorant to ensure you achieve an even tan.
• Remove any jewellery than may damage the sunbed and cause an uneven tan.

Keeping the skin cells hydrated directly helps to create the look of a radiant glow. Drink plenty of water and moisturise daily.

• When you cleanse your skin ensure you use warm water as opposed to hot water as hot water can remove the natural oils from your skin.
• Always leave 24 hours before repeat tanning – The tanning process takes 2 days! 
• Avoid shaving after a tanning session as this will remove the top layer of your skin that you have just tanned!
• You can use a tan extender frequently to help maintain your tan and keep skin hydrated, we sell hemp nation tan extender in-store!

Following these tips will ensure a longer-lasting tan and you will be getting the most out of your tanning session at Leveche Tanning & Beauty.

 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.

Dry skin reflects light, meaning that your tan will be less effective and will need to spend more time tanning to get the same results. Not using a tanning lotion will also lead to drying skin, collagen loss and a loss of elasticity in the skin, overall giving a dull, unhealthy appearance.
