Building a tan at Tan Rickmansworth is dependent on your skin type and the condition of your skin. Fair skin tans more quickly, whereas medium and dark skin types are more resistant to the tanning process and require more sessions. On average, a base tan can be developed between 3 and 5 sessions. To maximize your tanning potential, we recommend fully exfoliating and thoroughly moisturizing your skin. Our staff can also recommend UV lotions that encourage the tanning process and replace moisture lost during your session.

What you wear on the bed is personal preference. Most customers like to tan naked to avoid any tan lines, but you may wear a bikini if you prefer. You don’t need to bring anything to your tanning session apart from yourself. Free eye protection is provided for you, and we also offer wipes to freshen up after your sunbed. We recommend starting from the bare minimum number of minutes and slowly building your way up to the tan you want, especially if you have fair skin. Once you see changes, you can leave a little longer between tans.

To prepare your skin for UV tanning at Tan Rickmansworth, we recommend that you exfoliate and moisturize your skin a week before your first session. Moisturizing is essential to develop a deeper, darker tan, so we also suggest using a UV specific lotion during your tanning session and after every bath or shower.

Using a lotion while tanning is important because it helps replace moisture lost during the tanning session and stimulates the tanning process. At Tan Rickmansworth, our trained staff can help you identify the type of lotion that suits your tanning requirements, skin type, and preferences.
