Indoor Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


There is nothing more impressive, especially in dead of winter, than meeting someone who is tanned and looks very healthy. This not only makes a huge impression on acquaintances, but can often have a bearing on work promotions, interviews and so forth. Looking tanned and fit is possible when indoor tanning is used.

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.

Fluorescent lamps (UVC), produce the same type of vitamin D rays as are received from the sun. However, these particular rays are more concentrated so as to produce a tan faster. Shields, made of acrylic, are located beneath the body and in the lid, for protection.

People are different so the amount of time required to tan can vary. However, 20 minutes is the maximum exposure to the UVC waves that is allowed. Those wishing to maintain the tan must visit the site one or two times per 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.

Indoor tanning is great for anyone who wishes to look and feel good. Special lotions are required when engaging in this kind of program and there are numerous kinds available. Having a body that is tanned presents a picture of someone who is active and conscious of the importance of looking good.
