Sunbed Tanning Guide: what to consider
Sunbeds expose skin to ultraviolet radiation
UV tanning is associated with skin-cancer risk and premature skin ageing. A shorter session or gradual colour does not make UV tanning safe. Do not interpret a salon appointment or skin-type discussion as a guarantee of safe exposure.
Compare a sunless cosmetic alternative
A spray tan provides cosmetic colour without using UV to create the tan. Ask about shade, preparation, development time and how the finish wears off. A spray tan does not provide sun protection, so ordinary sun-protection measures still matter.
Plan colour around an event
If an event is the reason for your enquiry, discuss spray-tan timing, a trial shade and clothing or product guidance with the salon. Galeo Beauty is in Hartbeespoort; choose the service by its method and risks, as well as how far you’ll need to travel.
