Indoor Tanning
Indoor tanning is the best way to
TanSmart,
and some claim the only way to practice safe tanning.
Tanning indoors at a certified tanning salon allows
greater control over what kind and how much ultraviolet
light your skin receives. Done properly tanning indoors
can eliminate the risk of sunburn and make
tan lines
a thing of the past. When tanning indoors the tanner
enjoys: control of UV light exposure, convenience of
tanning at any hour of the day, a speedy 10 to 25 minute
visit, and service from certified tanning professionals.
With these benefits there is little doubt that indoor
tanning is the best place to tan.
Professional
tanning salons
will educate their customers on
the tanning equipment used at each location. Before your
first tan they will explain the operation of the tanning
beds, and the type of
tanning bed bulbs
and how often they're
replaced. As well they will instruct you on the proper indoor
tanning procedures and inform you about the dangers of tanning
beds. Three common precautions that everyone must practice
while tanning include: wearing
tanning bed eyewear,
using sunscreen
lip balm, and lathering on
indoor tanning lotion.
Eyes must be protected from the tanning bed UV light, this
is extremely important. Your eyelids are not thick enough
to block UVA or UVB light from entering the eye so keeping
your eyes closed won't help. Tanning bed eye damage can be
permanent. You must wear indoor
tanning bed eye protection
that stops 99 percent of UVA and 99.9 percent of UVB light.
Lips do not produce melanin and will not tan, therefore they
should be protected with
lip balms
containing high
SPF
sunscreen. If left unprotected, lips will easily burn and believe me a lip
sunburn is painful!
Indoor tanning lotions,
also commonly called
tanning bed lotions,
are engineered to maximize the
results of your tanning visits. These lotions contain essential nutrients
necessary for creating a deep natural-looking tan. While seemingly expensive,
tanning lotions
actually save you time and money by giving you a better
tan in fewer sessions. Cheap tanning lotions are available but less effective;
instead I recommend purchasing quality
discounted tanning lotions
from on-line merchants.
Indoor tanning
is a great way to get a rich-looking tropical tan any time of
the year, and tanning at a professional salon allows you control, convenience,
and timely visits.
