Tanning
The Best Sunbed Routine Before Your Holiday
By the Beautano team · Sunbed & red light specialists, Nitshill
Holiday booked? A little base tan before you fly means you arrive already glowing — and it helps your colour go on more evenly in the sun. Here’s how to do it properly.
Start two weeks out
Don’t leave it to the last minute. Begin around two weeks before you fly so you can build a base gradually, with rest days in between. Slow and steady always looks better than a rushed, patchy tan.
Build it evenly
Book a few short sessions over the fortnight rather than a couple of long ones. On the megaSun K11 Air Select, the sensor tunes each session to your skin so your base builds even and natural — no streaks, no orange.
Prep your skin
- Exfoliate before your first session so the colour goes on evenly
- Hydrate — moisturised skin holds a tan far longer
- Use a tanning accelerator or butter to speed up and deepen your colour
Don’t forget the after-care
Keep moisturising while you build your base, and top up gently. Your holiday glow will thank you.
