Tanning Bed Tips from Milton Keynes.com

Going to a tanning salon or using a tanning bed at home is a fast easy and fun way to get a fantastic tan. To make sure you get the full benefits from your sun bed or tanning salon here is some advice to get the best tan possible without damaging your skin or your health.

How long do I need to stay in the tanning booth/sun bed?

The uv rays of a tanning booth/bed are 3 times as powerful as the sun so it’s a must that you keep to the correct time limits in the booth/bed paying attention to your skin type e.g. people with fairer skin or if your burn easily in the sun will burn easier if this is you make sure you reduce the amount of time you spend in the tanning booth/bed. So many people rush in and think the longer they stay in the better tan they will get and end up red raw for the next few days. 15 Minutes can even leave you sore and pink. It would be advisable to start off with around 5 to 7 minute tanning sessions increasing it every couple of days by a minute until you reach the desired time you would like to tan, some people find that extra minute can burn you, if this happens go back to the session time you had previously, it could be that this is the longest your skin could ever handle without burning.

Moisturise your skin before and after tanning:

 It is a massive factor when tanning to keep your skin moisturised, when your skin gets dry it makes more dead skin cells so when you bath or shower you affectively washing your tan away and you won’t go the deep golden colour you are expecting. You can purchase high quality indoor tanning lotion that absorb the uv rays and prevent your skin drying out from your local tanning salon or beauty shop, most salons offer tanning packages that include high quality lotions and accelerators in the price. For best results from your tanning lotion apply it a couple before you go to the tanning salon or use you sun bed at home, this gives your skin enough time to absorb the lotion and your skin will be nice and moist by the time you come to tan.

Protect your eyes when Tanning:

All Tanning salons offer you eye protection goggles and you must make sure you use them, even if your are only in there for a couple of minutes you could damage your eyes, if you can’t get eye protection from a salon or you are tanning at home on you sun bed you can purchase eye protection on line or from a beauty shop.

If you are thinking of indoor tanning when you are pregnant consult your GP:

Most Tanning salons do supply information on health warnings etc to do with sun beds but very few people seem to take any notice or have time to read it.
It is a must if you are pregnant to consult your GP before using a sun bed or tanning salon, although they have not been directly linked to problems with pregnancy complications or they inflict harm on your unborn baby you should still really need to get advice before you use one.

If you stick to this tanning advice it will help you get the fantastic tan you want without putting your skin, health, or eyes at risk.
