How to use sunbeds safely and effectively
How to use sunbeds safely and effectively
We're very pleased to offer top of the line sunbed use at both Bliss Baby and Bliss Spa. Please read the following before stepping onto our sunbeds, as if used incorrectly they can be dangerous.
.
.
Your own goggles must be worn - purchase from reception for £2 if you don't have your own.
Sunbed use is strictly for those age 18+.
.
.
1. If you have never been on a sunbed, or if you are fair skinned or burn easily, keep your sessions to 3 minutes. You can then build this up very gradually as you start to develop a tan, but be wary - overdoing it is dangerous.
.
2. Use sunbed lotion to protect your skin and maximise tanning.
.
3. ALWAYS wear tanning goggles to protect your eyes.
.
4. Protect your lips with UV lip balm - as lips do not produce melanin they are at risk of burning.
.
5. If you are unfortunate enough to get sun burnt soothe your skin with moisturiser and do not return to the sunbed until all of the redness has gone.
.
6. Always make sure that you eat and drink water before tanning to avoid feeling unwell during your sunbed session.
.
7. Exfoliate before you start tanning, and keep skin moisturised for best results, and to reduce your risk of burning.
