Tanning Bed

There are many reasons why tanning beds are used. It is common for people to tan simply because it makes them feel good. Also, most tanning beds generate a large amount of heat, including infrared, which has deep penetrating action that can relieve minor muscle aches.

The tan produced by a tanning bed is not as deep as a tan produced in the sun. This is because tanning beds have higher overall levels of UV than the sun on a typical day, so the exposure times are shorter than the average session spent in the sun to achieve the same amount of tan. This can cause someone with a dark indoor tan to go outside and get a bad sunburn quickly because the deeper levels of their skin have not been exposed previously, and have no natural protection above what white skin would have. It is strongly recommended that a person does NOT tan indoor and outdoors on the same day, due to the likely chance that they will get overexposed. Because overexposure actually destroys melanin, getting a sunburn will result in LESS tanning.

Home Tanning: The Ultimate in Affordable Luxury
Why pay for tanning somewhere else, when you can tan in the convenience of your own home in a Tanning Bed. Tan at your own leisure and enjoy the comfort of not having to keep an appointment, having to wait for an available bed or worry about how long you are taking at a salon. The cost and convenience of home tanning is beyond comparison.

Indoor Tanning beds

Moderate tanning, for individuals who can develop a tan, is the smartest way to maximize the potential benefits of sun exposure while minimizing the potential risks associated with either too much or too little sunlight.
1) The professional indoor tanning industry promotes and teaches what is known as “The Golden Rule of Smart Tanning” i.e Don’t ever sunburn.
2) The indoor tanning industry has been more effective at teaching sunburn prevention than those who promote complete sun avoidance. Non-tanners sunburn more often than people who tan indoors.
3) Public debate on this issue has completely lost the perspective that there are known physiological and psychological benefits associated with sunlight, that there are many other potential benefits that need further research, that the risks are manageable for anyone who has the ability to develop a tan and that, for many people, the benefits of sun exposure outweigh the risks associated with overexposure.
4) A tan is the body’s natural protection against sunburn. Your skin is designed to tan as a natural body function, and the body is designed to repair sun damage as a natural process.

General Information on Tanning Beds
A tanning bed or sunbed is a device emitting ultraviolet radiation used to produce a cosmetic tan. There are also “high pressure” tanning beds that generate primarily ultraviolet radiation by using highly specialized quartz lamps, reflector systems and filters. These are less common and much more expensive, thus less commonly used. On the other hand, a tanning booth is quite similar to a tanning bed, but the individual stands while tanning and the typical power output of booths is higher.
