Facts Related to Tanning Beds

Tanning beds are no longer reserved for use in tanning salons, and many more people are coming to enjoy the luxury and privacy they get with owning their own tanning bed. This is leading to an increase in demand for the product, and pushing manufactures to be more innovative when producing new models. However, before you invest your money in a tanning bed, it is important for you to learn some facts about tanning beds.

The most common type of tanning bed is the horizontal tanning bed, which is sometimes called a capsule or a clamshell. This type of tanning bed has a bench that is designed to comfortably fit the body and the lid is lined with reflectors and tubular rod-like ultraviolet bulbs. It is designed so you can lie down on the bench and pull the lid over your body, so you can relax and tan. However, to get an evenly distributed tan, you must turn over about half way through your timed tanning session to allow both sides of your body to get a tan.

The next type of tanning bed is the vertical tanning bed, which is also referred to as the stand-up or tanning booth. It is sometimes considered a favorite of those who use tanning beds. The interior of these booths are lined with ultraviolet lamps and is capable of tanning a person twice as fast as that of a horizontal tanning bed. Also, the vertical tanning bed will tan the whole body at the same time, contributing to an overall even tan.

If you are shopping for tanning beds on a budget, you may want to consider the portable tanning bed because the cost is way less. However, the portable tanning bed does not tan with the precision of that of horizontal or vertical tanning beds, but it will offer more convenience. You can move a portable tanning bed to different rooms of your house. There are also solariums, which are smaller tanning lamps. Solariums can tan one portion of your body at a time.

When shopping around for a tanning bed, you will want to look at the UVA to UVB ratio of the lamps. It is recommended that you use low UVA to UVB ratio lamps that are also high-pressure lamps. These standards are in place to minimize the skin damage that is caused by UV radiation.

Of course, owning a tanning bed does carry a sense of convenience, but it is essential that you realize the ramifications that do come from overexposure to UV radiation, and how it can cause skin cancer and other such serious skin conditions. By understanding this, you can discipline yourself by properly scheduling your time spent using your tanning bed. This will go a long way to helping you successfully achieve that beautiful radiantly tanned glow, and all the while you are following the manufacturer's guidelines for usage.

It is highly recommended that teens under the age of 18 not utilize indoor tanning beds because tanning beds can cause increased damage to their skin. It is also recommended that people who are fair skinned, have red or light hair coloring, are freckled or have skin lesions and moles refrain from using tanning beds.
