Indoor Tanning Your Safer Alternative to the Sun
Whether you are trying indoor tanning for the first time to get
ready for a vacation or to keep your summer tan all year long,
there are rules that should be followed. These rules are
necessary for your safety as well as for your health. Many
people visit tanning salons thinking that they do not present
the same health risks as tanning in the sun. While the risks are
less, they are still there.
The traditional tanning salon depends upon the use of a tanning
bed to produce a tan for a customer. This process is known to
expose the body to the harmful UVA rays and can cause skin
cancer. If you are going to use this method of indoor tanning,
use a lotion with an SPF of not less than 8, but not more than
15.
Because of the dangers of traditional indoor tanning, and the
fact that people still want to maintain a tan throughout the
winter, the industry has invented some answers. Sunless tanning
booths and sunless tanning products are the most popular choices
with consumers. They are safe, look good and are easily applied.
Sunless tanning booths operate by literally spraying a mist that
contains DHA to create the illusion of a tan. DHA is the same
color additive that is used in cosmetics, it covers the body in
a color-in this case a varying degree of tan. This type of
tanning has had drawbacks when applying color to the feet and
hands of a person, these issues have been addressed and are not
a concern in most tanning salons.
A spray on tan does not last long, approximately 3-5 days. For
this reason, the tanning industry has developed a number of
systems that allow you to perform this procedure in the comfort
of your home. These systems can
be found in local stores and
salons as well as in catalogues and online.
Sunless tanning lotions first made their appearance on the
market some time ago. Everyone knows the reputation that these
products had for leaving the skin orange instead of tan. These
early products turned many consumers off to this alternative to
sun tanning. Thankfully, the industry has been working on this
particular problem and has solved it for most people. Be
careful, however, the cheaper lotions may still turn skin orange.
Sunless tanning lotions work in much the same way as the spray
tanners. They coat the skin with a DHA coloring. The biggest
difference is that it is applied by hand and at home. It is
important to carefully follow all of the instructions for use
that are printed on the package. This very important step will
help you avoid elbows, feet and hands that appear darker than
the rest of your body. This type of a tan lasts about the same
as the airbrush solution, about 3-5 days. However, by applying a
layer or two everyday, you can build upon the tan that you are
creating. Therefore, you are able to control how deep the color
of the tan becomes.
Indoor tanning is becoming a safer alternative to lying in the
sun. As the population learns more about the dangers of the sun,
they are looking for their tan from safer methods.
