SOLARIUMS

We have the latest tanning facilities for maintaining a healthy look or preparing for a forthcoming holiday in the sun. We also stock a range of tanning creams, oils and moisturisers and a selection of eye protection to help you achieve that all-over healthy tan, not normally obtainable in the north east of Scotland! And don't forget the saunas, to help you get used to the heat!

Tanning & Exercise

After working out in the gym, or after a class, all hot and sweaty, with increased heart rate and blood flow, you're in a good position to deliver copious amounts of oxygen to the skin - required for a darker tan.   However, tanning facilities deliver infrared rays as well as UV, plus visible light - all tending to heat the body when really it needs cooling.   To avoid dehydration, feeling unnecessarily tired and developing a headache, tan first then exercise!

Our bodies are more able to cope with high body temperatures at the start of a visit to the gym, when properly hudrated, so this is the best time to use the tanning tubes/sunbed.   Most people feel better after a UV session; something to do with vitamin D and endorphin production, both of which take place under UV light.   So this not only improves your mental outlook and motivation for the session ahead, but also contributes greatly to your warm-up time.
