Important Information for Tanning Bed Fans

There is some important information on tanning that all tanning bed fans should be aware of. Indoor tanning can be safe and help you get the overall tan that you are looking for, but you will want to make sure that you are aware of the risks, and that you know the tips to helping you achieve and maintain the ultimate tan.

Starting Off

For all you tanning bed fans out there, you have obviously already had experience with tanning beds. For the beginners, you are going to need to know how to get started. Basically you just start off by going in a low wattage bed, one that is not going to produce that strong of UV rays and so your skin will not get burnt.

Especially if you have fair skin, you may only want to start off by going for a couple minutes per session, and then as you start to get tanned and your skin is getting used to the UV rays you will be able to slowly increase the amount of time that you go in the bed for and as a result your tan will continue to deepen and darken.

Cream

Using the right cream is important for all tanning bed fans. You never want to go in a tanning bed before putting on cream, for several reasons. For one, the right cream will help you to tan faster, but as well it will help moisturize your skin and help it from drying out and from getting sunburned.

Risks

All tanning bed fans should be aware of the possible risks that are associated with tanning beds, because there are a few. Just as with the real sun, UV rays can be dangerous if you are irresponsible and do not follow the proper safety precautions.

One of the most important things is that you wear your tanning goggles, because you need to make sure that your eyes are covered up so they will not get burnt and so your vision will not be affected. There are also a variety of other eye conditions that can develop if you go into a tanning bed without goggles.

Tanning bed fans love their tanning beds, but it is important that anyone who goes into a tanning bed is aware of everything to do with tanning beds and that they take the proper steps to ensure they are safe and will not be putting themselves at risk.
