Indoor Tanning: A Wonderful Alternative When Used in Moderation

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Tanning beds are cosmetic devices that emit ultraviolet radiation to darken the skin, without the use of lotions or tanning bronzers. Regular tanning beds include a varying number of phosphor bulbs that emit UV light; depending on the complexity of the machine, the number of lamps varies, with commercial beds having more lamps. Very specialized tanning beds incorporate quartz lamps instead of phosphor lamps, but they also need a combination of filters and reflectors for proper functioning.

As the name implies, tanning beds call for the user to assume a lying position, as opposed to tanning booths where one has to stand. Another distinct feature between tanning beds and booths is the higher power output generated by beds.

Healthy skin creates the best conditions to start tanning indoors, as the tanned look is directly dependent on the condition of the tissues. If you naturally dry-skinned, then, the use of special lotions for tanning indoors purposes is crucial. Statistics indicate that failure to apply a hydration cream on the skin before a tanning period, no matter if you have dry, normal or oily complexion, causes flaking and an short-lasting tan that will fade away in about a week.
