The bed is only half of the story. The lotion you use has a huge influence on how quickly you tan, how even your colour is and how long it lasts. That's why at Sun & Sea we work with ONYX — a range created specifically for indoor tanning.
Hydration is everything
Dry skin reflects light and tans unevenly. Indoor tanning lotions are packed with moisturising ingredients that prepare the skin, so it responds better to every session and keeps its colour longer.
Choose the right type
- Accelerators — no bronzers, ideal for beginners and for building a natural base tan gradually.
- Bronzers — add instant colour that keeps developing after the session, for a deeper result.
- Tingle lotions — for experienced tanners with an existing base tan; they warm up the skin and intensify the effect. Not recommended for sensitive skin or for the face.
- Leg formulas — legs usually tan more slowly than the rest of the body, so dedicated products help even out the result.
"Use only lotions designed for indoor tanning on a sunbed."
Protect the bed, protect your skin
Outdoor sun creams and oils are not made for sunbeds — they can damage the acrylic surface and don't give you the benefits of an indoor formula. ONYX lotions are made for exactly this environment.
