05 Minutes is a short sunbed session designed for a quick tan top-up when you want a little more colour without committing to a longer exposure. Although the UV time is five minutes, the appointment is scheduled as a 15-minute slot to allow for a brief safety check, set-up and cleaning between clients.
More information
What the 05 Minutes sunbed session includes
A focused appointment built around a timed five-minute exposure, with the essentials covered before you step onto the bed.
- A brief check-in on skin type, recent sun exposure and any sensitivities that may affect UV tolerance
- Clear guidance on how to position yourself and use the sunbed controls
- The session timer set to 5 minutes so the exposure ends automatically
- Protective eyewear guidance (bring your own or request suitable eye protection)
- Quick aftercare pointers to help your skin stay comfortable and your colour develop evenly
Who usually books 05 Minutes for a tan top-up
- Regular tanners maintaining colour between longer sessions
- Clients wanting a small boost before an event or holiday
- Anyone returning after a break who wants to rebuild gradually rather than jumping back to a longer time
How the 5-minute exposure is managed during your 15-minute slot
You will have a short consultation first, then the sunbed is prepared and the timer is set for five minutes. You will be shown how to lie or stand correctly (depending on the unit) and how to end the session if needed. After the exposure finishes, you will have time to get ready and leave, and the room is cleaned for the next client.
After your 05 Minutes session: keeping skin comfortable and colour even
Moisturising helps reduce dryness and can support an even-looking tan. Try to avoid additional UV exposure on the same day, and space sessions sensibly so your skin has time to recover. If you notice irritation or unusual sensitivity, pause further sessions and seek medical advice.
