🐉 HOW TO TRAIN YOUR TAN ☀️

A beginner's guide to becoming professionally bronzed.

Before you can become the ultimate tanning master, you must first learn the ancient art of…

Not overdoing it. 😂

Every great tan starts somewhere.

🌱 Stage One: The Newbie
You approach the sunbed cautiously. You've read the instructions. You've asked approximately 47 questions. You're ready.

🔥 Stage Two: The Apprentice
You've found your routine. You've discovered tanning accelerator. You're starting to understand the importance of looking after your skin.

🐉 Stage Three: The Dragon Rider
You walk into Sunkissed like you own the place.

You've got your booking.
You've got your goggles.
You've got your lotion.

You know exactly what you're doing.

And you emerge looking like you've spent three weeks somewhere significantly warmer than Sandown. 😂☀️

But remember…

Even the fiercest dragon knows when to take a break. 🐉

Follow recommended exposure times, give your skin time between sessions and don't try to speed-run your tan.

Train wisely. Glow responsibly. ✨

And whatever you do…

DON'T TRY TO RIDE THE SUNBED. 😂

TOP TIP TUESDAY

☀️ Why can’t you use regular moisturiser on a sunbed?

It doesn’t contain melanin-boosting ingredients, can block UV light, and many have chemicals that may damage the acrylic surface or cause uneven tanning.

✨ EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT TAN-CE ✨

There are infinite universes.

Infinite possibilities.

Infinite versions of you.

And somewhere out there, in at least one of them…

You're already perfectly tanned. ☀️

In one universe, you're pale.

In another, you've been on holiday for three weeks.

In another, you accidentally booked the wrong day.

And in the most chaotic universe of all…

You remembered to book your sunbed

We searched the multiverse for answers.

We found:

🥑 A universe where avocados have jobs.
🪨 A universe where people are just rocks.
🐀 A universe where a raccoon is apparently an excellent chef.

But somehow, the most believable one?

☀️ A universe where you're already glowing.

Sadly, we haven't worked out how to jump between dimensions yet.

So for now, there's only one thing to do…

Get yourself to Sunkissed. 😂

Everything.
Everywhere.
All at Tan-ce. ✨

☀️ SUNBEDS & TAN ENHANCERS

✅ Must do: Always exfoliate 24 hours before your session — smooth skin = even, longer-lasting colour.

❌ Avoid: Using regular body lotions, oils or perfumes — they can block UV and damage the acrylic.

✅ Tan accelerator cream: Apply evenly 15 mins before your session — it boosts melanin production and keeps skin hydrated.

✅ Tan accelerator cream: Choose one suited to your skin type — fair skin needs gentler formulas to avoid overexposure.

✅ Tan shots: Take them consistently for 1–2 weeks before starting — they work from the inside to build colour faster.

✅ Tan shots: Keep drinking water alongside them — hydration helps your body use the ingredients effectively.

❌ Avoid: Overusing accelerators/shots — more does NOT mean faster results; stick to the recommended dose.

✅ Get the most out: Leave at least 48 hours between sessions — your skin needs time to develop and hold the tan.

✨ FANTASTIC TANS & WHERE TO FIND THEM ✨

For centuries, witches and wizards have searched the world for the most elusive magical creatures…

The Niffler. 🦡
The Bowtruckle. 🌿
The Occamy. 🐍

But there is one creature far harder to track down…

The Perfect Tan. ☀️

Legend has it that it can only be found inside a mysterious glowing chamber in Sandown.

Some say it appears after exactly 12 minutes.
Some say it gets stronger when exposed to tanning accelerator.
Some say it disappears completely if you forget to moisturise. 😂

Our experts have identified several distinct species:

🧙‍♀️ The Weekend Witch — arrives pale, leaves considerably more golden.

🦡 The Niffler — will absolutely find the last available booking.

🌿 The Bowtrunkle — refuses to leave the sofa after a long weekend.

🐍 The Slytherin — somehow manages to look effortlessly tanned at all times.

🧳 The Magical Suitcase — contains approximately 47 tanning lotions, sunglasses and things nobody remembers packing.

And then, of course…

☀️ The Fantastic Tan — extremely rare, surprisingly addictive and most commonly spotted in Sandown.

If you happen to encounter one…

DO NOT PANIC.

Simply admire the glow and pretend you didn't spend 20 minutes convincing yourself you could definitely live without it. 😂

🔥 NEW AT SUNKISSED! 🔥

Something new has landed at our Sandown studio… 🧖‍♀️✨

INTRODUCING OUR NEW INFRARED SAUNA! 🔥

Perfect for a little post-workout recovery, relaxation or some well-deserved me time — and suitable for up to 2 people, so you can enjoy it with a friend too! 🫶

📅 BOOKINGS OPEN MONDAY! 📅
Keep your eyes peeled 👀 — you’ll be able to book your sauna session from Monday.

A few important rules to keep things lovely for everyone:

🩱 Swimwear must be worn at all times
👥 Maximum 2 people
📅 Sauna sessions must be pre-booked
🚫 No unauthorised use or allowing guests/children into the sauna
💷 Unauthorised use will result in a cleaning charge
🍾 No alcohol permitted

👀 AND PLEASE PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE CHANGING AREA… 😂🙈

The sunbed side of the partition is our designated CCTV-free changing area. Please get changed there and not in the sauna area - We really don't need to see things we can't unsee. 😂🫣

We’ve also updated our Studio Etiquette Guide, so please make sure you read the latest version before your appointment. It forms part of your booking agreement and contains everything you need to know for your visit. ❤️

🔥 Bookings open Monday — we can’t wait for you to try it! 🧖‍♀️✨

TUESDAY TAN SHOTS TIPS

✅ Consistency is key – they work best when taken as advised, not just before a session.
✅ Pair with hydration – drinking plenty of water helps your body absorb them better.
✅ Give it time – results usually show after 2–3 weeks of regular use.
✅ Always check ingredients – ask our team if you have allergies or take medication.

✨ “What’s the tan? The tan is everything.” ✨

Welcome to the Grand Tan-dapest Hotel. 🏨☀️

Nestled somewhere between a little slice of luxury and a very serious commitment to getting your glow on, our Sandown studio is where pale skin checks in… and a rather more bronzed version checks out. 😂

🎩 The Concierge: Our studio is private, unmanned and beautifully simple. No reception desk. No awkward small talk. Just you, your booking and your very own tanning suite.

🛎️ The Reservation: Book your session through Booksy and your room awaits. We’re open from 8am- 11:45pm every day, because even the most distinguished guests occasionally require a late-night check-in.

🧳 The Amenities: High-performance 160W–180W lamps, premium tubes and regular lamp changes to keep everything performing at its best.

☀️ The Grand Glow: We operate within the UK’s 0.3 UV limit, but our high-performance setup means you’re getting the best possible performance from your session.

And naturally…

No guests may check into the tanning room. 👀

One person at a time, as required by law — so leave your entourage in the lobby.

Your room is ready.

Your tan is waiting.

Please enjoy your stay at The Grand Tan-dapest. 🎩✨

⏰ Open 8am–11:45pm every day
🎟️ Book via Booksy
🤫 Private studio
☀️ Tanning done properly
