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.

This salon process has advanced tremendously since it was first introduced in the U. S. In 1979. Booths or beds are now available all over the country, located in sites such as beauty shops, spas or separate facilities. They are monitored by the Federal Food and Drug Administration Agency for eye protection, length of exposure, safety rules, labeling 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.

Using this manner of achieving a tan is excellent for people who are working or have limited time and do not receive much sunlight. With a 20-minute maximum per session it is easy to stop at any time, and still receive a tan. Maintaining the tan usually requires one to two sessions every week.

Realizing there is some risk when exposed to these kinds of rays, employees and customers are receiving "smart tanning" tips. These are instructions which teach how to minimize risk and maximize benefits. These indoor tans still require protection from the sun when outdoors.

It is easy to identify people with this kind of a tan. They look like they have spent a vacation in the South Seas. Indoor tanning requires special lotions for the procedure. Regular lotions will not work, and can cause damage to the machine. However, even people who have a beautiful tan must wear protection when exposed to the outdoor sun.
