Tanning Beds – Some Facts You Should Know
A German scientist invented tanning beds in 1978, which became popular among the public in 1980. Tanning beds are now a common method to tan the skin without spending hours in the sun.
Ultra violet rays used in tanning beds are almost similar to the UV rays given by the sun. Therefore they do also possess similar risks. But by comprehending the working and use of tanning beds, you will know how to use them without being harmed. Provided they are used properly, these beds can prove an excellent way to acquire that perfect bronze or olive skin tone which you may have been yearning for a long time.
All tanning beds have lights that generate ultraviolet radiation, including both UVB and UVA rays. The UVB rays are very important to arouse the production of skin pigment melanin, but excessive overexposure of UVB rays can result in skin cancer. Nevertheless, the UVA rays oxidize the melanin and produce a golden brown color.
If you are planning to use a conventional bed, it will allow you to build up a base tan by tanning for about twenty or thirty minutes. You need to do this about three to five times a week, for a period of around four weeks.
On the other hand, there are high-pressure tanning beds, which are different from conventional tanning beds. These beds make use of only UVA rays. The lamps or bulbs are made up of quartz. The higher air pressure leads to the filtering out of all UVB rays. These rays are responsible for skin burn. In this case, a faster, deeper and longer lasting tan is obtained.
You can also use tanning bed lotion to raise the tanning pace and the quality of the tan. A few minutes after applying it all over your body, you will feel relaxed. The tan accelerator will keep your skin comfortable, cool and healthier. Always use tanning sunglasses while using the tanning bed as well. Regular sunglasses are not enough to protect your eyes from the UV lights.
There are certain risks that are involved in the using of tanning beds. Overexposure to the lights can cause problems for your skin. Tanning beds also produce UV rays UV A, UV B, and UV C, which are harmful for your body. These components of tanning beds can result in the increase of melanin. It in turn will make your complexion darker.
The foremost reason that a tanning bed is considered safer than the sun is only due to the fact that it is operated and handled by humans.
