More and more these days it is proven that sunbed use is safer than sun-use,or receiving rays from the sun directly.Scientific research and tests are continually being carried out by the professionals, both scientists and manufacturers alike,worldwide. Their integrity and reputations are at stake. The popularity of this Tanning industry has made these tests and continual research inevitable. Without getting technical, the safety element of sunbed tanning has to do with the measured amount of time and energy received from the lamps whilst tanning on the sunbed , this being called in the industry; ‘a dose’ Providing that sunbed -use is taken seriously, sensibly and responsibly;,sunbed tanning, or just for use for relaxation purposesand for skin problems, can become an advantagious way of life. Concerning the actual use of the sun, as in sunbathing, this is quite a ‘hit and miss’ affair for most people if we’re honest.The flunctuating extremes of the sun’s ability to change shows that it is not something which is easily measured.We cannot measure the exact amount of rays obtained from the sun easily. By recognising our skin-type and acting accordingly, choosing safe exposure times on the sunbed and and by leaving the appropriate times for skin to rest between sessions, we will minimalize any risks of damage to our skin.[don’t forget about the premature aging effects!! Trying to overdo your sunbed sessions is pointless and actually serious.By this I mean, don’t think `longer` or `more` is better, on the sunbed. We’re talking here about safety and health. Health for your skin. Health and feel good factors from just using totally appropriate times in the session to expose our selves to the rays. This way, maintaining the kind of tan that we want can be done throughout the year. The exposure to the amount of rays from the sunbed lamps can be predicted exactly. That’s why the time, the exposure time you ask for at the salon is important.That’s why taking rest time in between sessions is vital.You waste your time, money, and skin’s health by tanning each day. Your biology takes time to work. It’s never instant. When you’re developing a tan , your skin only needs a small dose every few days to start off. Then increase slowly. Yor melanin production can only work with rest day periods..When you’ve got a tan, your skin can only use so much of the sunbeds rays to make and brown more melanin.The rest is just wasted and the rays will damage your skin unnecessarily. So ---- the rest days are vital to building your tan--------ALWAYS You can work out the times of sessions you require for yourself. Say to start with; for a beginner, perhaps 4x4 minutes with rest days for your skin.Then say 4x6 mins., with rest days for your skin.Then say 4x8 mins., with rest days for your skin. Then work up as you feel ready and with your own reaction you have with your skin.Slower is better. It’s irresponsible to move too quickly, and you’ll be more satisfied with a deeper tan eventually which you will have acquired more comfortably and safely, without the dangers of overexposure and all that that entails. It goes without saying now that good moisturization of your body
is always vital as is using the correct accelerator tanning creams.
