LOTIONS
STAND UP - LIE DOWN Besides providing you with ability to produce Vitamin D and enhancing the colour of your skin, a tan session also offers a little bit of 'me' time! Some prefer to stand whilst others look forward to a lie down ... no worries ... your preference is accommodated at TGLS! RE-TUBING We regularly retube to ensure the UV output performance of our units remain uncompromised. Please bear this in mind when we responsibly reduce your tanning minutes following a re-tube |
To safeguard our clients, TGLS provide Winkease UV eye protection free of charge. We also offer complimentary fresh wipes and a selection of unisex fragrances. There's no need to rush off after your tanning session either. Stay & chill with a glass of iced water, juice or fruit drink, sit and nibble on one of your five-a-day (purchased from our seasonal fruit bowl) or, you could, perhaps, take advantage of some 'Me' time on your Kindle or catch up with friends on social network sites using complimentary Wi-Fi

Did You Know ... A new theory suggests legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died at 35 due in part to a vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is produced when the body is exposed to UV rays however Mozart spent his entire life at high-latitude in Austria, working at night and sleeping during the day. According to ABC Science, who had no knowledge of this condition, Mozart went untreated and died from illnesses brought on by vitamin D deficiency!

How Does My Skin Actually Tan?
Our natural skin colour [or skin type] is determined by skin pigment also referred to as melanin. The amount of melanin present in our skin, before UV exposure, is determined by hereditary factors. When our skin is exposed to UV rays, cells deep within our skin – called melanocytes – initiate a process where more melanin is produced. This subsequently ‘browns’ as it rises to the skin’s surface producing a tan. UV also causes the outer layer of the skin to thicken. This is the body’s way of building up protection to UV and to avoid burning. Is Health Conscious Tanning Really Possible? People will react differently to UV rays – darker skinned people produce melanin more readily. The skin of some very fair people contains very little melanin and, even when exposed to UV, they cannot form melanin, so they will not tan in sunlight or on a sunbed. The latter group should keep UV exposure to a minimum and not strive to obtain a tan. Instead, skin type 1 clients should utilise our tanning equipment purely for the benefits of natural vitamin D formation How can I Avoid Sunburn? If the natural tanning process is rushed, sunburn will result. Our skin has a natural repair mechanism but if this is triggered off too frequently, it may become exhausted and result in permanent damage to the skin. TGLS can educate you in how to safely speed-tan your skin. Please ask to speak with Michelle |

Become UV Aware
Reducing the risks associated with over-exposure to UV rays is, of course, our major concern however equally the powerful benefits of controlled UV exposure should not be undermined nor forgotten. With this in mind we offer complimentary UV protection advise to all skin types including those with no desire to utilise our indoor tanning facility and those, with skin type 1, who are unable to. It's our aim to increase awareness of harmful sun bathing versus lack of UV exposure whilst offering informative responses to questions relating to all skin types & types of exposure. We believe the benefits and risks relating to UV exposure via the sun and/or tanning equipment, must be clearly understood to keep our health & appearance tip top
