Indoor Tanning Tips

Do you live in Buffalo, craving a Winter tan that says "I just got back from Cancun"? Or perhaps it's Summer in Phoenix and thirty minutes of sunless tanning beats an afternoon baking by the pool. For these and many other reasons indoor tanning may be for you.

What is Indoor Tanning?

Indoor or Sunless Tanning refers to either ultraviolet (UV) light or a spray system that gives your skin that coveted golden glow. The most common way to tan with UV light is with a home or commercial tanning bed. The best spray systems are found at commercial tanning salons. However, there are some excellent lotions and sprays that can be purchased over the counter. Most experts agree that UV light provided by the sun or a tanning bed delivers a more natural result. Therefore, the rest of this article will be focused on how to achieve the best results from a tanning bed.

Tanning Salons Versus Home Tanning

If you have the budget (and the space) home tanning is a viable option. Excellent commercial-quality beds are produced by Solar Storm, SunQuest, and ESB. Expect to spend close to $2000 for a model with 16 lamps, meter, and high-powered reflectors. Home tanning beds typically operate on 120V electricity, but please check before you buy and have to install another circuit or unplug your washing machine to get a tan.Your local commercial salon will likely have 220v Wolff or SunQuest beds with 24 lamps, ready to turbocharge your tan with some quick safety tips:

1) Build a base tan by limiting your tanning bed time to 20 or 30 minutes for starters, no more than 5 times a week;

2) Continue this schedule for 4 weeks during the base phase;

3) To maintain your tan, 2 or 3 sessions a week will do the trick;

4) For safety's sake, always wear tanning goggles while using the bed and make sure to check with your doctor is there are any conditions that may contraindicate UV exposure for you.

Tanning bed popularity continues to grow in our busy society, and most people agree than a nice tan appears healthy and sexy. Just make sure to take the same precautions you would for being out in the Sun, being sure to tan and not burn. The good news is that tanning beds are generally accepted as being less risky than sun exposure because you can tan in much less time.

But if it's February in Buffalo, you should still jump on than discount charter package to Mexico!
