An Introduction to Tanning Beds

Tanning beds are pieces of equipment that are used to tan the skin without exposure to the sun. Many people think that using a tanning bed is a safe alternative to sunbathing. But is this the case? According to the FDA and CDC, the answer is no. They recommend that consumers avoid using these beds for tanning purposes. Tanning lamps and beds emit more UVA rays than UVB, but they can still lead to serious problems like melanoma and other forms of skin cancer. With recommendations like these, you would think that no one would tan. But they do, often at salons designed especially for this purpose.

If you're determined to use one of these beds, you'll want to find a quality salon to go to. There are likely one or more in your area that offer tanning services. A good salon will present you with a list of safety rules and advise you of the proper way to tan. This means always wearing the proper eye protection and only using the tanning bed for a limited amount of time. For beginners, a session of only five minutes is plenty to get started with. As your skin becomes more tan, you will be able to extend your tanning sessions to up to twenty minutes. Never use a tanning bed more than once per day. If you end up with a sunburn, you've used the bed too long.

Some salons offer alternatives to tanning with UV rays. If you're interested in a healthy, effective and no-risk way to tan, ask the salons in your area about spray or airbrush tanning. Many of today's salons offer booths that spray your entire body in a matter of seconds with a sunless tanning solution. Others actually employ specialists who spray the tanner on your skin by hand using an airbrush machine made especially for this purpose. These two techniques guarantee that you'll get an even tan without ever exposing your skin to any harmful ultraviolet rays or risking a painful sunburn.

Whether you choose to use tanning beds or spray tanning, you're sure to love the way you look with a sunny bronze glow. Today's tanning salons offer a variety of affordable options for customers who want a great tan. Whether you want a one-time tan or want to keep coming back, you're sure to find a package that suits your individual budget and preferences.
