TANNING BED

Why Tanning Beds are the  Best Way to Get a Beautiful Tan

There is no doubt that a year-round golden tan is a very attractive prospect. Being tanned gives you a natural-looking, healthy glow and hides any minor skin imperfections.

The Safety of Tanning Beds

Tanning on a tanning bed is more time efficient than waiting for a sunny day. Most people who use tanning beds just have 20 minutes sessions and the results are immediately noticeable. A tanning bed offers significantly reduced ultraviolet rays and less radiation than lying in the sun. Many people who prefer to tan in the sun don't know that the sun's rays are similar to those of a radioactive isotope!

You will want to tan safely, which means wearing protective eyewear, using indoor lotion and using moisturizers after you have used the tanning bed. Moisturizers also help to prolong your tan. Whether you use a tanning bed in a salon or have your own, you will need to get an indoor tanning lotion which is suitable for the bulb type used on the tanning bed. In a salon, the staff will be certified and know which lotion is the best and if you have your own tanning bed, the instructions that come with it will tell you.

You should be aware of which type of skin you have and tan accordingly. If you have red hair, porcelain skin and plenty of freckles, you probably aren't going to be able to spend a long time tanning and you will burn more easily than, say, someone with an olive tone of skin, dark eyes and dark hair.

Once you have a tan from a tanning bed, if you do need to be out in the hot sun for any reason, your skin will not burn anywhere near as easily as if you had no tan at all. Many health professionals now say that moderate tanning is better than no tanning at all. You receive the benefits of sun exposure without the risks and a tan gives you Vitamin D, which is great for your health and overall wellbeing.

Comfort and Privacy

A tanning bed gives you privacy. If you don't want to lie on the beach or in a park where the whole world can see you with very few clothes on, you can use a tanning bed instead to get your sun-kissed look (and you don't have to wear anything if it's your own tanning bed!)

Tanning beds are comfortable to lie on and you only have to spend 20 minutes or so on the bed rather than hours on a beach. Also, you can tan whenever you like if you use a tanning bed, rather than waiting for the sun to come out. If you have a busy lifestyle, you might not have time to sunbathe on the beach (or even live near one) but most of us can squeeze a 20 minute session into our day somewhere, whether it's to get an attractive tan all year round or to get a base tan before you go on vacation.

Overall, tanning beds are the best way to get a natural, golden tan. They are convenient, easy to use and are much less risky than lying in the sun for a long time.
