Tanning

Spirit’s dedicated tanning studio helps you attain that lasting sun-kissed look using the latest techniques and products. Choose either the vertical tanning technology, or our precision airbrush system. Or for those who love the more traditional approach we use Elemis Glow Self Tanning creams. If you’re new to tanning, our therapists – with their extensive expertise and training in this area - will help you select the best technique for your skin type.

Spray tanning

We use Sudo’s flawless, quick drying tanning solution to create the perfect tan in minutes. You choose which part, if not all of your body you wish to show off, and leave us to provide you with the most perfect tan possible. The results should last between 5 to 10 days depending on your skin type.   For hints and tips on the best ways to ensure a long lasting spray tan download the ‘Guide to Successful Spray Tanning’

Vertical UV Tanning

We all know that sudden and prolonged exposure to UVA and UVB light from the sun can cause long-term skin damage. But preparing your skin – by allowing protective melanin to develop – before you go on holiday will lead to safer tanning whilst you’re sunbathing.  In the UK our bodies are rarely exposed in shorts let alone a bikini.  Safe tanning on a sun bed can protect against burning, as your exposure is measured and based upon your skin sensitivity*.

So at Spirit, we use state-of-the-art vertical tanning technology (48 tubes at 200 watts) to give you fast, safe and convenient tanning.  For more information and details on recommended UV exposure times download the ‘Guide to Safe Tanning’

*A skin sensitivity assessment must be completed before you use the sun bed.  We allow a maximum of one tanning session in any 48-hour period.
