There is nothing more impressive, especially in dead of winter, than meeting someone who is tanned and looks very healthy. This not only makes a huge impression on acquaintances, but can often have a bearing on work promotions, interviews and so forth. Looking tanned and fit is possible when indoor tanning is used.
It was in 1979 that this method of receiving a tan was first introduced in the U. S. Over the years, there has also been a tremendous advancement in construction, as well as the number of locations where this procedure is available. These special beds are available in spas, beauty shops and a number of other locations. The Federal Food and Drug Administration oversees the units and monitors eye protection, amount of exposure time, safety rules 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.
Because any exposure to that many rays has some risk, employees and customers alike are being educated regarding "smart tanning". This teaches how to minimize risk and maximize benefits concerning UV exposure. Even with a good tan, it is still necessary to be protected, when in the outdoors, to prevent sunburn.
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.
