Indoor Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


There is no doubt that a person with a beautiful tan looks healthy and full of life. It makes a difference, whether going on a new date, applying for a job, or attending an important function. Today, anyone can have this appearance by using indoor tanning beds.

It was in 1979 that this method of receiving a tan was first introduced in the U. S. Over the years, there has also been a tremendous advancement in construction, as well as the number of locations where this procedure is available. These special beds are available in spas, beauty shops and a number of other locations. The Federal Food and Drug Administration oversees the units and monitors eye protection, amount of exposure time, safety rules and other features.

A specially constructed bed utilizes fluorescent lamps (UVC). The UVC is the same as the rays of the sun, heavy with vitamin D. As with exposure to too much sunlight, precautions are taken that a user does not suffer from sunburn. Acrylic shields are used to protect the body.

This manner of achieving a good tan is excellent for people who are limited on time. The maximum exposure allowed is 20 minutes per session. It usually requires one or two visits per week to maintain the tan. This is how so many working people are able to obtain a fresh look even though they have been confined to an office all day.

Because any exposure to that many rays has some risk, employees and customers alike are being educated regarding "smart tanning". This teaches how to minimize risk and maximize benefits concerning UV exposure. Even with a good tan, it is still necessary to be protected, when in the outdoors, to prevent sunburn.

Indoor tanning gives a person that extra boost they need to look good. When meeting someone, this makes an excellent impression. Regular, outdoor sunburn prevention lotions, will not work in this kind of unit. The special lotions applied are specifically prepared for use when undergoing this procedure.
