White tanning and pass prices at Beotgo Tan, a Uijeongbu tanning salon

If you spend a lot of time outdoors all summer, it's not just your face — your arms and legs get patchy too. I'm not really the type who tans into a nice bronze; my skin just goes dull and rough-looking instead, so once fall arrives I get more anxious about my skin condition.

These days a lot of people get brown tanning while prepping for body profile shoots, but plenty of others go for white tanning instead, to even out their overall skin tone and body skin condition. This time I checked out Beotgo Tan Uijeongbu Branch, near Uijeongbu station.

Where is Beotgo Tan Uijeongbu Branch, and is there parking?

Beotgo Tan Uijeongbu Branch is located at 81 Simmin-ro, Unit 901, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. It's easy to reach from Uijeongbu station, and there's underground parking in the building.

Parking is supported for 1 hour, so it's fairly convenient even if you drive. Hours run long, from 10 AM to 1 AM, and it's a tanning-only studio run on a hybrid staffed/unstaffed system. There are hours when staff are on-site during the day, so first-time visitors can get an explanation of how to use the machines and how to tan before starting.

Does white tanning actually make your skin whiter?

Because of the name, it's easy to assume white tanning brightens your skin by several shades. In reality, it's less about changing your skin color and more about treating dry, dull body skin and restoring its original condition.

This was exactly what I was curious about — it's better to think of it as consistent care for skin roughened by summer UV exposure and dryness, rather than expecting to come out noticeably whiter. So it seems to attract people who want to even out their overall skin tone before a body profile shoot, or anyone bothered by uneven arm and leg tone.

Inside the stand-up white tanning machine and the lotion you rent

Beotgo Tan Uijeongbu Branch has a stand-up white tanning machine. You stand inside it while it works, so light reaches the front, sides, and back of your whole body.

The inside is roomier than expected, and the cooling function makes it easier to handle for anyone put off by the usual stuffiness of tanning machines. You're advised to apply the dedicated lotion generously before going in.

You can rent or buy the dedicated lotion at the shop, so first-time visitors don't really need to bring much of their own.

Paying and tanning entirely through the app

What I personally liked was the hybrid staffed/unstaffed system. Instead of checking your reservation with staff every time, you can handle payment and tanning entirely through the app — once you're used to it, that seems pretty convenient.

There are private lockers and a shower room, which makes it a decent setup for stopping by before or after a workout, or after work. If you're combining exercise and tanning for a body profile shoot, that kind of flow matters more than you'd think.

Beotgo Tan Uijeongbu Branch pass prices

Price is also worth checking if you plan to tan regularly. Here's what I found listed:

• 10-session pass ₩100,000
• 20-session pass ₩180,000
• 1-month pass ₩250,000
• 3-month pass ₩360,000

Some of the longer-term passes include lotion or shared supplies, so it's worth deciding whether you want a short trial or ongoing care over a set period.

Tanning is usually something you do regularly rather than once or twice, so instead of jumping straight into a long-term pass, it's a good idea to first check whether it suits your skin and your usage pattern.

Prepping for a body profile? Brown tanning is available too

Beotgo Tan Uijeongbu Branch offers brown tanning alongside white tanning.

So if you're prepping for a body profile and want a more defined, healthy-looking skin tone, brown tanning is the way to go; if you want to care for the overall condition of skin that's had a lot of sun exposure, white tanning fits the purpose better.

If you're starting tanning for the first time, rather than just going with whatever's recommended around you, it seems most important to consult first about the look you want and your current skin condition.

Looking for body profile tanning in Uijeongbu?

If you're prepping for a body profile shoot and looking for a tanning studio in Uijeongbu, Beotgo Tan Uijeongbu Branch is worth comparing. Easy access from Uijeongbu station, building parking, and late hours all felt like clear advantages.

Above all, you get an explanation from staff during staffed hours, then use the hybrid system comfortably afterward — a good match for the nature of tanning, which requires regular visits. White tanning isn't a one-time dramatic change in skin color; it's better approached as ongoing care for your body skin.

If you're prepping for a body profile shoot, or bothered by arms and legs tanned too much over the summer, consult on what suits you before you start.
