Ever wondered what a good indoor tanning routine looks like? We followed Nancy, as she prepared for her tanning session. Whether you’re a first-time tanner or seasoned pro, her routine shows how to maximise results comfortably.
Step 1: Choosing the Right Tanning Bed
Nancy always goes for the P9 tanning bed at Sunshine Co. Why? It offers fully customisable controls, built-in comfort features, and premium results.
The adjustable session length, cooling options, and soothing light technology make it easy for anyone to personalise their tanning experience. If you want to learn more about our P9 megasun beds, check out our equipment page.
We also have a range of stand up and lay down tanning beds to choose from, which all have their own benefits.
Step 2: Preparing the Skin with an Accelerator
Before stepping into the bed, Nancy applies her favourite golden tanning accelerator oil. This not only helps her tan faster but also keeps her skin hydrated during and after the session.
Accelerator oils and creams are especially helpful if you want to reduce your session time while still building a rich, even tan. Make sure to apply evenly to avoid streaks and always follow the product instructions.
Read more about the benefits of tanning accelerators in our previous blog. Check out the accelerators we have in stock online or find more at your local SunShine Co. salon.
Step 3: Eye Protection
No tanning session is complete without proper eye protection. Nancy always wears protective goggles to shield her eyes from UV exposure.
It’s a simple step that’s often overlooked, but it’s essential for a comfortable tanning experience. At The SunShine Co., you can always pick up disposable eye protection stickers at reception before you head to your designated room.
Tip: Even if you’re a regular, never skip eye protection. It stops UV from impacting your eyes and allows you to enjoy longer, worry-free sessions.
Step 4: Customising the Sunbed Controls
The P9 sunbed allows Nancy to customise every aspect of her session. From adjusting intensity and session length to controlling ventilation and light settings, these small tweaks ensure a more effective and comfortable tan.
Tip: Beginners can start with lower intensity or shorter sessions and gradually increase as they build their base tan. Find out the best sunbed minute plan for you in our previous guide.
Step 5: Connecting Your Music via Bluetooth
One of Nancy’s favourite parts of the P9 is the built-in Bluetooth audio system. She connects her phone to play her favourite playlist, making her tanning session relaxing and enjoyable. Music not only improves the experience but also helps you unwind while getting your tan.
