Updating Your Appearance Using Indoor Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


When meeting someone with a beautiful tan, there is an immediate impression of a person who is healthy and ready to take on the world. This first impression can really be meaningful when going on a first date, meeting new clients or experiencing other important things in life. This look is available with indoor tanning.

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.

To create the rays necessary for a tan, fluorescent lamps (UVC) are used. This produces the same effect of sun rays, but in a more concentrated manner. Acrylic shields are located throughout to give protection to the body.

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.

It is easy to identify people with this kind of a tan. They look like they have spent a vacation in the South Seas. Indoor tanning requires special lotions for the procedure. Regular lotions will not work, and can cause damage to the machine. However, even people who have a beautiful tan must wear protection when exposed to the outdoor sun.
