Can I Use a Sunbed ?

Most people are able to use a sunbed but there are exceptions. If you answer YES to any of the questions below, you must NOT use a sunbed:

• Are you aged under 16?
• Do you always burn in natural sunlight?
• Do you have a medical condition that becomes worse in sunlight?
• Do you have an excessive amount of moles and/or freckles?
• Do you have a history of sunburn, particularly from childhood?
• Do you have skin cancer or does any member of your immediate family have/had skin cancer?

Also, if you are on any medication or drugs, please check with your GP or pharmacist before using a sunbed as certain drugs make the skin more sensitive to UV light. If you are pregnant, consult your GP before use.

So you’ve completed the above checklist and answered NO to all the questions and want to use a sunbed because looking good and feeling great is what having a tan is all about and why 70% of us in the UK want one!

Whether it’s an all-year-tan, a pre-holiday boost, vitamin D boost or you simply want to look good for that special occasion, a tan has never been more accessible.

Most high streets now include at least one dedicated tanning salon, health club, beauty salon or nail bar with tanning facilities.
