Sunbeds can be an excellent way to maintain that post-holiday glow, offering a golden tan all year round but only if used responsibly. At La Fuente Clinic, we’re excited to introduce our brand-new sunbed, designed to deliver a radiant tone whilst prioritising your skin’s health. This guide will explore everything you need to know about safe sunbed use, so you can look your best without compromising your wellbeing.
Why Safe Sunbed Use Matters
Tanning may be associated with looking healthy, but the wrong approach can damage your skin. Overexposure to UV light increases the risk of premature ageing, sunburn and, in more severe cases, skin cancer. Safe sunbed use is about finding the right balance and achieving your desired look whilst protecting your skin for the long term.
Beyond the immediate cosmetic benefits, safe sunbed use is about protecting your skin’s long-term health. Overexposure to UV light — whether from the sun or sunbeds — can accelerate skin ageing, cause uneven pigmentation and increase the risk of serious skin conditions. By following safety guidelines, you can enjoy a healthy glow without compromising your skin’s resilience or appearance. Treating your skin with care now means it will remain more supple, even-toned and youthful for years to come.
Getting To Know Our New Sunbed
Our Sunquest Aurora Vertical Sunbed at La Fuente Clinic uses advanced technology to provide even, natural-looking colour in shorter, more efficient sessions. This means less time under UV light whilst still achieving beautiful results. With adjustable settings, our team can tailor your session based on your skin type and tanning goals, ensuring a personalised experience and safe sunbed use every time.
Top Tips For Safe Sunbed Use
Know Your Skin Type
Fairer skin tends to burn more easily, so shorter sessions with lower UV intensity are recommended for safe sunbed use. Our practitioners can help determine the safest settings for you.
Protect Your Eyes
Always wear the protective goggles provided. UV light can cause serious eye damage without adequate protection.
Avoid Overuse
Limit your sunbed use to the recommended frequency as overexposure will not speed up your tan but can harm your skin.
Moisturise Regularly
Hydrated skin tans more evenly and retains its colour for longer. Use a nourishing body lotion after each session.
Once you’ve achieved your desired results, you can reduce your sunbed sessions and focus on aftercare. Keep your skin moisturised daily, exfoliate gently once a week and drink plenty of water to help your glow last. Eating a diet rich in beta-carotene (found in carrots, sweet potatoes and leafy greens) can also help prolong your colour. With consistent care, you can maintain a warm, radiant look well into the cooler months.
