Know Your Skin Type
Fair skin needs shorter, less frequent sessions. Medium to olive skin can build a base more quickly. Always start conservatively and let our team guide your schedule.

Expert Advice for Your Best Glow

Expert tanning tips from Luxe Glow Studio Rotherham — sunbed session advice, spray tan prep and aftercare, professional lotions, and how to build a safe, even tan in South Yorkshire.
02
Moisturise Daily
Hydrated skin tans more evenly and holds colour longer. Use a professional tanning lotion before your session and a quality moisturiser afterwards.
03
Exfoliate Before Spray Tans
Remove dead skin cells 24 hours before a spray tan for the smoothest, most even application. Focus on elbows, knees, and ankles.
04
Allow Time Between Sessions
Your skin needs 24–48 hours to develop colour between sunbed sessions. Patience delivers better, safer results than rushing.
05
Use Professional Lotions
Tanning accelerators and bronzers are formulated to boost results and nourish skin. Ask us which products suit your goals.
06
Protect Your Eyes
Always wear protective eyewear during sunbed sessions. We provide goggles — never skip this essential step.

Tanning Questions Answered
How many times a week should you tan in a tanning bed?
For most skin types, 2–3 sunbed sessions per week is a safe starting point when building a base tan, with at least 48 hours between sessions so your skin can develop colour. Once you have a base, many clients maintain their glow with 1–2 sessions per week. Fair or sensitive skin may need fewer sessions — our team will recommend a schedule tailored to you at Luxe Glow Studio.
How long should my first sunbed session be?
First sessions are usually shorter — often starting around 6–8 minutes depending on your skin type and the bed used. We never push longer sessions than your skin can handle safely. Your consultant at Luxe Glow will advise the right time for Megasun and other beds in our Rotherham salon.
How long does a spray tan last?
With proper aftercare, a professional spray tan typically lasts 5–10 days. Exfoliate before your appointment, moisturise daily, and avoid long baths or swimming for the first 48 hours. See our tanning tips for full aftercare advice.
How much is an 8 minute sunbed?
An 8 minute session uses 8 minutes from your course balance at Luxe Glow Studio. On a 40 minute standard course (£26), that is roughly £5.20 per 8 minute session. On a 40 minute premium course (£36), roughly £7.20 per 8 minute session. See our full tanning salon Rotherham price list.
Spray Tan Aftercare
Follow these steps to keep your spray tan looking flawless for as long as possible:
- Wait the recommended development time before showering (usually 6–8 hours).
- When you rinse, use lukewarm water and pat dry — don't rub.
- Moisturise daily with an oil-free lotion to prevent patchiness.
- Avoid long baths, swimming, and exfoliating until your tan fades naturally.
- Wear loose, dark clothing immediately after your session.
