It’s Meg here, your go-to gal for all things tanning and glowing skin. Today, I’m giving you the lowdown on **tanning lotions**, **sunbed creams**, and how to achieve your dream bronzed look with our absolute favourites: **Cherry Good**, **Life’s a Beach**, and **Summer Dreams**. Oh, and did I mention the fab deal we’re running? Every single one of these beauties comes with a **free Bronzed Tanning Spray** – because who doesn’t love a little extra glow? ## Why Use a Tanning Lotion on a [Sunbed](https://www.hotsalons.co.uk/tanning/?v=7885444af42e)? If you’ve ever thought, “Do I really need a tanning lotion on a sunbed?”, the answer is a big, bronzed YES. Using a proper **sunbed cream** is like having your BFF on speed dial – essential for the best results. Here’s why: - **Speeds Up Tanning**: A good tanning lotion helps activate melanin in your skin, which means faster and deeper results. - **Hydration Station**: Sunbeds can dry your skin out quicker than your ex’s texts go unanswered. A quality lotion keeps your skin hydrated and glowing. - **Boosts Colour**: Special ingredients in these creams, like peptides, amplify your tan, giving you that rich, even bronze. - **Prevents Flaking**: Nobody wants a patchy tan. Moisturised skin holds onto that golden glow far better. ## Meet the Stars: Cherry Good, Life’s a Beach, and Summer Dreams We’ve got three tanning lotions that are absolute game-changers (oops, no clichés). Each one is packed with hydrating ingredients, skin-loving peptides, and scents to transport you straight to paradise. ### **Cherry Good UV **[Cherry Good Melanoplex® Tanning Lotion 350ml (Free Bronzed Spray With Every Order)](https://sodamntanned.com/shop/tanning-creams/cherry-good-melanoplex-tanning-lotion/)** Tanning Lotion** If you love sweet, fruity scents, Cherry Good is a must-try.

Here’s everything you need to know about using **sunbed creams** properly: ### 1. **Prep Your Skin** The secret to a flawless tan is in the prep: - **Exfoliate**: A day or two before your session, give your skin a good scrub to remove dead cells. - **Shave or Wax**: Smooth skin absorbs tanning lotions more evenly. - **Avoid Oils**: Don’t apply body oils or heavy creams before your session – they’ll block the tanning lotion. ### 2. **Choose the Right Lotion** Your lotion makes all the difference. Depending on your skin type and tanning goals, grab **Cherry Good**, **Life’s a Beach**, or **Summer Dreams**. Each formula is designed to maximise your glow while nourishing your skin. ### 3. **Apply Generously** Don’t skimp on the lotion! Smooth a generous layer over all exposed skin – and don’t forget those tricky spots like ankles, elbows, and behind your knees. ### 4. **Hit the Sunbed** Time to shine! Follow the recommended sunbed guidelines for your skin type and gradually build up your sessions. Never overdo it – slow and steady wins the tanning race. ### 5. **Post-Tan Care** Once your session is over, treat your skin with a hydrating moisturiser. Bonus points if you use our **free Bronzed Tanning Spray** for an extra glow! ## The Ultimate Freebie: Bronzed Tanning Spray Here’s the cherry on top (pun intended): with every Cherry Good, Life’s a Beach, or Summer Dreams lotion, you’ll receive a **free Bronzed Tanning Spray**.

While sunbeds activate melanin faster, these lotions are fab for enhancing your natural tanning process outdoors. ### **What Happens if I Don’t Use a Lotion?** Without a lotion, your skin is more likely to dry out and tan unevenly. Plus, you’ll miss out on the extra colour boost and hydration. ### **Can I Mix Tanning Lotions?** Yes, but only if they’re from the same range. For example, layering **Cherry Good** and **Life’s a Beach** could give you a unique scent and extra hydration. ## Why Our Tanning Lotions Are a Must-Have Let’s get real – not all tanning lotions are created equal.
