Frequently Asked Questions
Oasis Tanning Ipswich
It depends on your skin type. Most people start with 6–9 minutes, then gradually increase to a maximum of 15 minutes per session - though most people find they only need 9-12 minutes for a great tan as our beds are retubed regularly. Book the appointment called ‘New Client Session’ for your first visit and we’ll help you decide what’s best for your skin when you get here.
We offer both stand-up and lay-down sunbeds, all fitted with UV and red light tubes for the best possible tanning results.It’s really down to personal preference:Lay-down sunbeds are relaxing and let you switch off face tanners if desired.Stand-up sunbeds feel cooler and allow you to move, helping prevent pressure marks and reach areas that don’t tan as easily.Alternating between both gives you the most even tan!
We added collagen red light tubes after extensive research - and the feedback has been incredible.
Customers say they tan faster, their colour lasts longer, and their skin feels noticeably smoother.
Red light benefits include:
Stimulating collagen production for younger-looking skin
Boosting pigmentation for up to 50% deeper tanning
Supporting natural skin healing and pain relief
Always apply a professional indoor tanning lotion just before your sunbed - it helps you tan faster and keeps your skin hydrated.Use a tan extender between sessions to deepen your colour and make your tan last longer.
We sell a full range of genuine, salon-quality tanning products sourced directly from trusted UK distributors - so you know you’re getting the real thing!*Please note: Cheap and imitation products, often bought online, can cause damage not only to your skin but also to our equipment so for this reason they are banned from the salon. Tingle lotions can only be used in our stand up beds, not in the laydown beds.
Results vary depending on your skin type and whether you use the right lotion and extender.
Most people start with 6–9 minutes, two to three times per week, and see results quickly.
Once you’ve reached your desired colour, you can maintain it with fewer sessions.
(One session a week isn’t enough to build a tan — consistency is key!)
Please check with your GP before tanning.
Some medications or skincare treatments can increase photosensitivity.
Our T&C's that you agree to on registration includes a health section to ensure safe tanning for all clients - for example, sunbeds aren’t suitable for people with epilepsy or pregnant. A reminder of our T&C's can be found here.
We're open from 10am 7 days a week during the busy seasons. As all tanning appointments are pre-booked, our opening times can be flexible during busy or quiet periods. Therefore, please look online where you'll see the available appointments for the month ahead and choose a time/s that are most convenient for you. And remember, the availability changes frequently throughout the day so check back if you couldn't find a perfect time on your favourite bed!
