Tanning Benefits

Whether you tan indoors or outdoors, the tanning process is the same. Ultraviolet rays stimulate skin cells to produce melanin, the pigment that makes your skin tan. One of the advantages of indoor tanning is you can control the amount of UV exposure. Even with the increased control, there are still a number of precautions that you should take to ensure a complication free tanning experience.

• Use Sun Block or Sunscreen. SPF 15 is usually sufficient for most skin types. Apply the sun block before you get dressed to make sure that you don’t overlook any areas. Shower Before You Tan – Dirty skin can hinder your chances of getting the tan that you’re looking for.

• Tan slowly – When tanning for the first time, you don’t want to over expose your skin. Building up your base tan gradually is a more effective, longer term solution to a healthy tan. Over exposeure will increase your risk of sun burn and skin cancer.

• Check the Clock – If you are out in the sun, its hottest from 12 noon to around 3 o’clock in the afternoon. If you can, try to avoid the outdoor sun during these hours.

• Watch Your Lips - Lips can get chapped and burned as well. Use lip balm or lip screen with SPF protection.

It's hard enough to find time for family and friends while juggling an ever increasing workload, let alone find time to visit the beach to get the tan you've always dreamed about. Fortunately, with the invention and growth in popularity of tanning beds, getting that glowing tan you always dreamed about can be had during your lunch break.

The traditional method of sun tanning was going to the beach, and laying out in the sun. This is quite effective in warm, sun blessed regions such as Southern California.

Convenience and Control
Tanning beds provide a convenient and efficient alternative to traditional tanning. Tanning beds allow the user to control the amount of UVA and UVB light they are exposed to during the tan. Overexposer is the root cause of sun burns. By limiting the amount of UVB rays and maximizing the amount of UVA rays, tanning beds allow one to tan without burning.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D is essential for strong bones and a healthy immune system. In addition new research has indicated that vitamin D plays a prime role in the prevention of many deadly illnesses including multiple sclerosis, tuberculosis, schizophrenia and heart disease. Recent research studies have also indicated that Vitamin D, when taken in large doses, may act as a potent anti-cancer agent.

Since vitamin D is found only in trace amounts among foods, our bodies must get the vitamin from other sources. Fortunately, vitamin D is produced naturally by the body in the presence of UVB rays. According to experts, one would need to expose approximately 25% of one's body for an estimated ten minutes at least two to three times a week to produce sufficient amounts of vitamin D. Since the average working professional doesn't get nearly the recommended sun exposure, tanning beds offer a realistic alternative for people with busy schedules.

Getting a tan these days is easy enough, but even though there are numerous options at your disposal, don’t be careless! Make sure to take all the necessary precautions to ensure a safe and healthy tan!
