The used processes in tanning beds are commonly explained in a scientific manner. People tend to get confused on what indoor tanning really means and how this works.
To make information on indoor tanning and tanning beds simpler, here is some useful information:
1) Indoor tanning beds. Usually shaped like a clamshell, this is the most common devices of indoor tanning. Basically, you go inside the tanning bed and lie down. The lights from the top and from below the tanning bed are absorbed by your skin making it golden brown (or whatever skin tone preference you want) after the session.
2) Tan processing. The length of the indoor bed tanning session needed for you to be able to develop your preferred skin tone would depend mainly on your skin’s ability to generate melanin.
The process of the darkening of the melanin varies from one person to the next. The suggested dosage of tanning session per week is two to four times a week.
Two sessions of indoor bed tanning is against the law. don’t be alarmed if you could not see any changes in your skin after your tanning bed session. The tan changes commonly become evident two to four hours after your tanning session.
3) Precautions. There are many widely spread precautions that are left unnoticed because of false claims. Here are some factual safety measures that could prevent your skin from injury:
* To avoid burning of the skin, limit your exposure to the tanning beds. This is the reason why there are laws regulating the moderation of tanning sessions. The lights from the tanning beds when used excessively in one session or in a number of sessions over the years causes skin injuries.
* Eye and mouth protection. When indoor tanning, make sure to use the FDA regulated goggles used in tanning beds. This goggle will serve in defending your eyes from the lights. Lips would not tan in any method possible because it doesn’t make melanin. Make sure that your lips are protected with petroleum jelly or lip balms upon entering the tanning beds.

* Your health conditions should be taken into consideration when you plan to visit a tanning salon. Make sure to question your physician if your health history would not be reacting negatively with the indoor tanning procedures.
* If you plan on making your tanning bed sessions as a weekly habit, make sure that you know how to take care of your skin. Making use of tanning lotion would help your skin to regenerate. Since dry skin doesn’t effectively absorb the lights from the tanning bed, the result from your indoor tanning would be disappointing. If you learn to moisturize your skin everyday, even without visiting the tanning salon, you could save money by receiving 100% service guarantee.
* If you are combining your indoor tanning sessions while taking tanning pills, make sure to check with your doctor to be informed of the reactions your body might undertake. If you feel skin irritation, vomiting, shortness of breathing, rashes, nervousness and other ill effects during the period when you are taking these pills and attending tanning sessions, urgently attend to your physician for check up.
Using indoor tanning beds moderately is the most efficient way that lessens the risk of sunburn while getting the most out of the enjoyment and benefit of producing golden brown skin on tanning beds.
