I came into the Dundrum tanning shop for my first sunbed. I was unsure of everything and how to use the bed or how long I should do. A young worker named Allie was very helpful and kind to me and gave me the best advice and told me step by step how to do it and what would be the safest time and such. She also recommended a tanning shot and cream which I bought. I enjoyed my first sunbed and will definitely be back with this kind of service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is UV Tanning and How Does it Work?
UV tanning is a process that exposes the skin to controlled UV rays to tan the skin. Mimicking the effects of natural sun exposure, indoor tanning uses UV light to stimulate melanin production, temporarily darkening the skin’s outer layer.
Do I Need a Consultation Before Using a Sunbed?
Yes – if you’re new to The Tanning Shop, we’ll provide a free consultation before your first session. Your expert tanning consultant will discuss your skin type and tanning goals, as well as how to use our equipment and which lotions to choose. Our team is always available to answer any questions you may have.
How Long Should My First UV Tanning Session Be?
At The Tanning Shop, we encourage first-time tanners to begin with the shortest session time recommended for their skin type. You can always increase session time, but low and slow is the name of the game.
How Often Can I Use a Sunbed?
To avoid overexposure, we recommend leaving a minimum of 24 hours between UV appointments.
How Long Does it Take to Build a Tan on a Sunbed?
The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your skin type and goals, but it typically takes around three weeks to build a tan responsibly.
Remember, you must wait at least 24 hours between sunbed sessions to allow the full tanning process to take effect, and to avoid overexposure.
How Do I Prepare My Skin for UV Tanning?
- Exfoliate 24-48 hours before your session
- Moisturise using a non-oil-based lotion
- Arrive at your appointment free from makeup, perfume, and deodorant
- Apply a UV tanning lotion before your session
How Much Does a UV Tanning Session Cost in Dublin?
Pricing differs between stores – find your local UV tanning salon for all current pricing and offers.
What's the Age Requirement for UV Tanning in Ireland?
By law, no one under the age of 18 can use a sunbed. We operate a strict Challenge 21 policy and promote responsible tanning, always.

Responsible UV Tanning Checklist: Before, During & After Your Session
UV tanning is a choice many people make to achieve a natural-looking glow without spending long periods in the sun. In Ireland, however, UV exposure is strictly regulated due to the risks associated with sunbed use. That’s why, at The Tanning Shop Ireland, we place such a strong emphasis on responsible tanning.
Red Light Therapy – Your Winter Skin Care Saviour
As the days grow darker and temperatures drop, it’s not just our mood that can suffer. Cold weather and constant indoor heating often strip the skin of moisture, leaving it dry, irritated, blemished, or more reactive than usual. If your complexion feels angrier or more unpredictable during the colder months, you’re definitely not alone.
