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.

These beds are set up in spas, beauty shops and other locations where they are available to the general public. First introduced in 1979, this procedure has advanced a long way and is under control of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. This agency monitors safety rules, eye protection, maximum exposure time, products used and other features.

A specially constructed bed utilizes fluorescent lamps (UVC). The UVC is the same as the rays of the sun, heavy with vitamin D. As with exposure to too much sunlight, precautions are taken that a user does not suffer from sunburn. Acrylic shields are used to protect 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.

A program was undertaken to train employees and customers in safety measures with a "smart tanning" program. This program was specifically designed to teach how to maximize benefits and reduce risks when exposed to UV rays. Even people with these beautiful indoor tans must protect themselves when outdoors from natural sun rays.

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.
