1. Can I sunbathe in a solarium?

Everyone wants a dark, beautiful, and even tan. Unfortunately, the climate we live in isn't conducive to constant sunbathing, so the indispensable tanning bed comes to the rescue. The sun's rays energize us, improve our mood, and give our skin a beautiful glow. Many of us use tanning beds because they're the perfect solution outside of the summer season. With 1-2 sessions a week, your tan will surely acquire a golden hue, and you'll be able to enjoy beautiful skin for longer. However, remember to use appropriate tanning products and follow the proper guidelines for proper use, and then using this invention can only bring us benefits. A tanning bed is a place where you can soak up the sun's rays, but don't forget the rules of safe tanning, as well as the contraindications when you should avoid using tanning beds!

2. How to tan safely in a solarium?

Remember to always follow the advice and recommendations of the tanning salon staff, and if you have any questions, they will be happy to help. It's crucial to adjust your tanning time to your skin type. Avoid using deodorants or perfumes before tanning to prevent irritation or allergic reactions. Remove any makeup before tanning to ensure an even tan. You can remove your makeup at home or at a tanning salon, where makeup remover and cotton pads should also be available. Avoid using oils, sunscreen, or other lotions not intended for indoor tanning, as they can irritate the skin and damage the tanning bed. It's important to use appropriate cosmetics that will care for your skin and prevent it from drying out. It's worth choosing several shorter sessions instead of one long one, and leave at least 48 hours between sessions.

3. I have very fair skin. Can I use a tanning bed?

Of course, but remember to choose a device with more gentle tanning lamps, for example, a 0.3 standard. A 0.3 standard can convince even those who were concerned about the potential negative effects of tanning to use a tanning bed. Tanning time shouldn't be too long, and breaks between tanning sessions should be at least 48 hours, and the lighter the complexion, the longer the breaks should be.

4. What are the benefits of sunbathing?

Tanning enhances your appearance! Sun-kissed skin is associated with exoticism and originality, which can slightly transform and enhance your image. A tan reduces the visibility of some imperfections, making your skin appear smoother. Furthermore, if you feel better with a tan, it not only improves your appearance but also boosts your self-confidence! Tanning also highlights your figure, accentuates its advantages, slims and highlights muscle definition. Tanning automatically improves your mood. Sunbathing stimulates the glands responsible for the production of hormones such as serotonin and methionine, which affect well-being. The low mood typical of winter is due to the reduced amount of sunlight, which leads to a reduction in the production of certain hormones. UVB rays affect the synthesis of vitamin D, which is essential for proper body function.

5. How to get a dark tan?

Before every tanning session , you're probably wondering how to achieve a beautiful, perfect tan. To achieve such a tan, and to achieve it evenly and lastingly, you should tan gradually, in stages, while following proper skin protection and care guidelines. Not everyone's tanning process is the same. Achieving a dark tan is virtually impossible for those with the fairest skin, but you can certainly use tanning products designed for indoor tanning, which will help you achieve a sun-kissed look. With 1-2 sessions a week, your tan will definitely remain golden, and you'll be able to enjoy beautiful skin for longer. If you want immediate results, avoid intense, long, or frequent tanning sessions, as you'll damage your skin. You can achieve instant results with, for example, spray tanning. This allows you to easily achieve a dark tan without exposing your body to sunlight or UV rays.

6. Why use tanning lotion ?

Indoor tanning lotions prepare the skin for the tanning process, accelerate the development of a beautiful tan, deepen its effect, and help the skin absorb UV rays more easily. Furthermore, and importantly, they intensely moisturize the entire body, provide the skin with valuable nutrients, improve its elasticity, and protect against the signs of aging—all to maintain healthy, youthful-looking, and happy skin. These products can be tailored to areas of the body that are difficult to tan, such as the legs, to achieve a dark, perfect tan with the help of tingle effects or advanced bronzers, even if previously difficult. Each of our lotions has a pleasant scent, making tanning in the tanning room a truly delightful ritual.

7. What cosmetics should I use in the solarium?

Our offer includes bronzers, accelerators, bronzing accelerators, and tingle-effect cosmetics. What are they? How do they differ? Which cosmetics belong to which group? We'll explain!

Bronzers

Bronzers are cosmetics designed to deepen your tan and give it a naturally beautiful, bronzed shade. This is achieved thanks to bronzing substances that react with amino acids in the epidermis to create a darker shade. Our bronzers are rich in moisturizing and nourishing ingredients, as well as anti-aging, firming, and anti-cellulite ingredients. As a result, after using them, the skin is not only velvety smooth and healthy-looking, but also firm and elastic. Our bronzers include: Tanning Serum, Black Porcelain, Ultime, Amuse, No5 Black, Mega Bronzer, Impress, Sweet Cappuccino Dream, Milk Chocolate Delight, Sexy Legs, Black Praline, Black Caviar, and Black Cashmere.

Accelerators

Tanning accelerators are cosmetics that create a beautiful, deep tan in an incredibly short time. As the name suggests, they are designed to accelerate the tanning process. They are an ideal solution for those who don't have much time for frequent tanning salon visits. Our accelerators help achieve a chocolate-like skin tone while minimizing the number and duration of sessions. They work primarily by stimulating melanin production in the skin, allowing for a faster tan. They are rich in nutrients, leaving the skin perfectly moisturized and perfectly smooth after use. Our accelerators include: Vibe, Grand Cru, No. 5 Gold, and Booster.

Bronzing accelerators

Bronzing accelerators have a dual effect. On the one hand, they accelerate the tanning process, and on the other, they deepen the tan. After using them, the skin looks beautiful, radiant, and healthy. Our cosmetics provide satisfaction after just one visit to the tanning bed and meet the expectations of even the most demanding customers. Furthermore, they protect against signs of aging, cellulite, and dry skin. Our bronzing accelerators include: Tattoo, She, He, Anti-Aging, Magnifique, Ultime, Noir Noir, No5 Dark Night, and Orlando.

Tingle

Tingle means a tingling and stinging sensation. This sensation of warming the skin accompanies tanning with cosmetics with the so-called "tingle effect." This is due to a special ingredient that intensifies microcirculation and oxygenation in skin cells, making all processes – including tanning – faster and more efficient. Tingle ingredients in tanning lotions designed for indoor tanning improve local blood flow to the skin and accelerate all processes occurring within it. Products with a tingle effect are intended for advanced and demanding indoor tanning enthusiasts. They help with tanning difficult-to-tan parts of the body (e.g., legs), but should not be used on the face. They are unlikely to be suitable for those with very sensitive skin. The tingling and redness can last for several hours and is a completely natural phenomenon. Our cosmetics with a tingle effect include Hot Action, Versy Sexy Legs, and V8.

8. How to choose the right balm?

To choose the right indoor tanning lotion, you must first determine your skin phototype. You can read more about this HERE ( https://www.onyxtan.pl/blogs/blog/jak-jest-twoj-fototyp-skory ). People can be divided into six skin phototypes, depending on their skin's response to ultraviolet radiation. White bronzers or accelerators work well for lighter skin tones. For those who naturally tan to a relatively dark tan and want to enhance it without using tingling products, we recommend bronzing accelerators. For those with a higher skin phototype, tingling products will definitely work, provided they don't have sensitive or vascular skin.

If you dream of a golden tan, we recommend our accelerators, which will help you achieve this effect in an incredibly short time. Or perhaps you desire an intense bronzed complexion? Then choose our bronzers, which are designed to deepen your tan and give it a naturally beautiful, bronzed hue. When choosing the right lotion, consider what your skin truly needs. Moisturizing, firming, or perhaps protection for your beloved tattoo? Choose a product based on its skincare properties. If you have a tried-and-true favorite product category, why not consider the scent of the lotions? Tanning is meant to be enjoyable and improve your mood, and with our products, you get just that!

9. How to apply balm?

Apply the lotion evenly to your skin just before tanning. After spreading it, thoroughly dry your hands with paper towels or tissues available at the tanning salon to avoid leaving any residue. To facilitate the absorption of the lotion, exfoliate before tanning in the tanning salon, which will remove dead skin cells and help extend the life of your tan.

In this short guide, you'll find answers to your burning questions. Remember that safe tanning in a tanning bed is the key to a beautiful, healthy, and flawless tan! During your visit, it's worth asking the staff about anything you're unsure about, and also choosing the right lotion to prepare your skin for the tanning process.
