Tanning beds can provide a darker, longer-lasting tan than regular tanning beds, but may require multiple sessions to achieve.
A tanning bed is a type of tanning bed that provides a darker tan that lasts longer than the tan you get from regular tanning beds. These results, however, are achieved through multiple sessions. Many people use this type of tanning machine because of the type of tan it can help them get and also because tanning in a tanning bed is much less likely to cause sunburn than tanning in a regular bed.
Both sunbathing and suntan creams can damage the skin and age prematurely.
A key difference between a tanning bed and a tanning bed is the type of lamp used in the machine and the types of ultraviolet (UV) rays the lamps produce. Another important difference is the percentages of the different types of ultraviolet rays produced by the lamps. Both types of tanning machines include a row of lamps at the bottom of the bed where the tanners rest during sessions and a row of lamps at the top of the machine, which open and close to allow the tanners to enter and come out of the machine. Most tanning beds include between 10 and 50 lamps that extend the length of the machine. A tanning bed, however, uses between 30 and 60 lamps.
A tanning bed is less likely to cause sunburn than tanning in a regular bed.
In a tanning bed, the types of lamps used produce slightly more UVB rays than the lamps used in a tanning bed. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, while UVB rays only penetrate the top layers. Therefore, lamps used in bed create a deeper tan and are also less likely to burn the upper layers of the skin. However, since the lamps used in tanning beds only include a small percentage of UVB rays, it takes longer for a tan to show. Many tanning salons recommend using a tanning bed to create a base before beginning a series of sessions.
It is very important to remember that any type of tanning, under the sun or in a tanning bed or tanning booth, can cause serious skin damage and even skin cancer. Tanning and tanning should be limited in the frequency and intensity of sessions. It is also very important to take care of the skin after tanning. Be sure to moisturize your skin to replenish the moisture lost during tanning. This can also help reduce flaking.
