Tanning bed lotions are a mandatory investment toward healthy indoor tanning.
For years, tanning bed manufacturers have promoted their products as a healthy alternative to the sun; so why are tanning bed lotions so important?
Tanning beds and the sun both darken the pigmentation in the skin through the use of ultraviolet (UV) rays. There are two types of UV rays, UVA and UVB. With prolonged unprotected exposure to these rays, you increase the odds of damaging your skin.
Some of the health problems that may occur include:
- Immune system damage
- Burning
- Malignant melanoma
- Premature wrinkling
- Skin rashes and irritation
While tanning beds do provide safer doses of UV rays and allow you greater control in regulating the amount of rays you expose your body to, you still need to protect your skin from damage with one of the better tanning bed lotions that are on the market today.
The first step to choosing a lotion is to find out what kind of rays the tanning bed you use emits. Many older models tan through the use of UVB rays, which can cause burning, but the more modern beds use UVA rays. Not all tanning bed lotions protect against both kinds of rays.
Also look for a lotion that moisturizes but is not oily. An oil-based lotion can damage tanning beds and makes for difficult clean up after use.
Many lotions also act as tanning accelerators or help provide a move even tan, and many are fortified with skin enriching nutrients. When in doubt, check with the tanning salon attendant or with your residential tanning bed manufacturer for a lotion recommendation.
Taking pride in personal appearance ensures you will make the best first impression. That includes not only what you wear and a positive attitude, but also healthy skin. One key to keeping your skin looking good is to invest in a good tanning bed lotion that both protects your skin and revitalizes it with much needed nutrients and moisturizers. And, like most products, remember that tanning bed lotions only work when properly applied before every tanning session. |
