How it works...
Tru Tan offers two walk-in sunbed salons. One in Tunbridge Wells & another in Newhaven which means there's no need to book before you visit. We're based within Underground Gym. Just head in the main entrance and head to reception where you'll be greeted by our warm friendly team at either location.
All customers are required to fill out a consent form on their first visit. This contains a few questions about you, your medical history, and your skin just so we can ensure you're able to use the sunbeds in an effective, safe manner for your individual skin type.
Next, you choose your package/mins and away you go. We also sell a range of lotions if you require one we also provide you with eye protection, deodorant, and wet wipes.
Benefits of responsible tanning
There are many different benefits to responsible and moderate UV tanning and according to several scientific studies there are strong indications that exposure to UV (sunlight) has more benefits for you and your body than just giving your skin a healthy colour and glow.
Vitamin D
Responsible and moderate tanning increases your natural level of Vitamin D, which is produced by the body when your skin is exposed to ultraviolet light. Vitamin D is proven to offer protection against Inflammatory Bowel Disorder (IBD) and according to scientists reduces the risk of developing Diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Improve Bone Structure
Vitamin D, which is being produced during a tanning session, helps the body absorb calcium. Calcium strengthens your teeth and bones and helps to reduce your risk of osteoporosis and needless fractures.
Prepare For Summer
Tanned skin is the body's own protection mechanism to limit the risk of overexposure to the sun during the summer months when the intensity of UVA and UVB are at their most intense.
Makes You Feel Good
Responsible tanning can be used as anti-depressive therapy since it increases the feeling of well-being. It boosts serotonin levels which is the body's happy hormone. The warmth also relaxes the body and mind and therefore is an excellent tool against stress and exhaustion.
Help Lose Weight
Higher levels of serotonin in your body not only makes you feel happy, but it also suppresses the appetite, so will usually eat less after a sunbed session.
Boost Your Immune System
Responsible tanning stimulates the production of white blood cells that fight bacteria and viruses, which causes the immune system to improve significantly.
Relieve Pain
Responsible tanning makes muscles more flexible and eases stiffness. It works as a pain reliever in the case of rheumatism and muscular pain.
