Sun bathing or commercial tanning bed – how to get your tan safelyBy Kristie Brown
Commercial tanning bed provides sunless tanning through out the year. Those of us who like the healthy sun tanned look are very well acquainted with it.
In the recent years we have been more and more made aware of the fact that the sun damages the skin causing it to age prematurely and more serious diseases such as cancer. Due to these life threatening facts many of us have taken seriously sun tan lotion and some of us have limited our sun exposure as much as possible.
However, one does not have to give up the tan altogether; we can still get the fabulous look from a commercial tanning bed.
How does the commercial tanning bed work?
Commercial tanning beds in two forms: vertical and horizontal. You can lie down and get a tan or stand, whichever is comfortable to you. These capsules tanning beds have a lid which are lined with tubular ultraviolet lamps and a glass or plastic bench on which one can lie down. The lamps are made of quartz which allows their internal air pressure to be higher than the regular ultraviolet lamps thus filtering unwanted UVB rays.
All commercial tanning beds must have a timer which will automatically turn off the lamps at a prior set time, as a requirement by FDA regulations. The tanning is the tanning beds occur through artificial UVB and UVA rays which have the exact same composition as the sun rays. So, how safe are these commercial tanning beds?
Studies conducted on people who frequented the tanning beds have found that excess exposure can cause the same damages as the sun – premature aging of the skin and other serious skin diseases. Other studies have found that people lying in the commercial tanning bed and likely to stand radiation levels to the eyes as much as 100 times then the outside sunlight.
The advantages of sun
The advantage of sun exposure is that it produces melanin - that is the pigment that protects the skin from UV rays naturally. It also stimulates the production of vitamin D in the body.
Conclusion
As long as you do not over do your sun bathing and do not forget to apply the sun protecting lotion there is no reason to hide from the sun. At the same time if you do not over do your tanning in a commercial tanning bed there is no reason why you should not have a tan at Christmas.
Everything in moderation is healthy.
