How many minutes should I use your sunbeds for ?

This varies by skin type (see our skin type information)

GoTan sunbeds are all fitted with the highest power EU safety approved 0.3 tubes 

When first using our sunbeds, you should always start off with just 5 or 6 minutes and build up gradually to no more than the maximum recommended for your skin type.

It is important that you never tan twice in any 24hour period. Should skin redness occur you should wait until this has fully cleared before tanning again.

The beauty of hiring from GoTan is that you will have plenty of time to build up your tan gradually, safely and comfortably. Take your time, go brown not red.
