Your body knows when it is in trouble. Pay attention to the way that you feel while you are tanning. If your skin starts to feel overheated, irritated or painful sensations, get out of the tanning bed. Overexposure to UVA rays, which cause our bodies to tan, can be harmful whether they come from the sun or from an indoor tanning bed.
Martha Quinn has been writing since Her work has appeared in various online publications. The issue comes from continued consistent use whereby you expose your skin to a greater degree of UV rays than is medically sound. The question that was asked requested nothing about whether to use them or not, so do someone the dignity of answering the question they posed, rather than voicing your own opinion.
For the record I have never used a sunbed, nor will I ever likely use one. I have however studied the heath risks as part of a masters at University and although you shouldn't take someone's 'word' on it I can say that small use of the beds does not guarantee that cancer will strike, so please, people, stop going on about it.
Comments Lottie More of a comment to those bleating on about cancer etc; I use sunbeds on reccomendatiom from my doctor. I suffer severe acne and have bouts of psoriasis and the sunbed does wonders for them both. It all depends on how often you sit in the sun normally. I work nights and so daylight, let alone sunlight, for me is rare and so I don't get enough sunlight to my skin as I should.
I don't do it for a tan, I do it for health. Heat is also beneficial if you have joint problems and general health problems. Again, reccomended by my doctor and it's doing wonders. Don't assume everyone who uses a sunbed is abusing it etc. It would be very different if you were sitting in the sun all day and still using a bed for 20 minutes every couple of day. That's sunbed abuse. It's also not always possible to use fake tan, if you have sensitive skin or skin issues then it's actually very bad for you.
In addition to that, it stinks , looks awful, costs a fortune and gets everywhere. To the poster; I would do just 4 mins to start. Make sure you are well moisturized and have some sort of suncream on. You are more likely to tan with Sun cream on, otherwise you could burn.
Most places charge by the minute anyway so if you do feel like you want longer then just go back in. Don't overdo it! Keep it well controlled and little by little.
I've laid about 8 times with bronzer as well. As far as I know it's still ok I've always rotated in tanning beds, and still do so that my tan is even. I double checked with the girls that work at my tanning salon, and was told that it's fine. After reading your question, I put some time into finding out what may be wrong with laying on your stomach, and have yet to find anything that says you aren't supposed to lay on your stomach.
Enjoy your even tan and don't worry about it! Yes, the goggles protect your eyes, whether they are open or closed. Think of it like this, your eyelids are so thin they don't protect your eyes, which is why the goggles are a requirement. So, whether they are open behind the goggles doesn't really matter.
There are safety mechanisms on the tanning beds that I've used. They all have the option for you to simply open the tanning bed or the door, and there is a button by the timer so you can simply stop the tanning bed. I wouldn't wear metal jewelry while tanning, but I've never tried it. It looks cute in a picture, but it makes sense to me that it would get hot and leave a "not so cute" tan line.
The bottom of the stand up beds do not get hot. It only gets hot where the tanning bulbs are : Some people wear protective things on their feet, kind of like when you use a public shower, but I never have because I don't want those tan lines. Tanning salons are supposed to disinfect every bed after every use.
I think it's ironic you mentioned getting stuck because that was one of the first things I thought of! Especially after watching Final Destination The way tanning beds are designed, you lay down, and then close the top part over top of you, but the top part does not latch when you close it.
You can then open and close it at any point in time, even while it is on. This is so if you start to feel to hot, or, like me, you sit on the tanning bed for a minute so you don't get a tanning wrinkle on your butt, you can easily get out of the tanning bed. Stand up beds are the same way. It's like a little room that you step into, and then you close the door.
When you close the door, it does not latch, and you can also open the door at any point in time. If you're going tanning for the first time and are a little anxious about that, just give it a shot.
Lay down and close the lid. Then, open and close it a few times. It might sound weird, but it'll help. I have a lot of redness to my face, so it helps even my skin out. It also works wonders for my acne, eczema and psoriasis.
It takes time and consistency to see a difference though. Good luck and I hope that helps! So wow this was done very well written well and very informative. I thought this was great because this is a very serious thing people say oh its ok or its not well you are being cooked so its a serious thing.
Anyway I have always wanted to try this for my skin as well as an even skin tone and to darken my skin just a bit from acne etc. However I still don't know if I'd be comfortable.
I mean I am not sure if there is a safety mechanism on these or what? So these are my questions. If you stand up etc. Does the bottom get too hot? Also is there a safety mechanism that shuts off the tanning bed if something should occur. Lol how much time would you have to breathe in one of those things if you got stuck? I mean you can't get stuck right. Just start out a little at a time, and don't forget to MOVE.
Not yelling, just emphasizing When I first went tanning I didn't and wound up with a crease in my neck that wasn't tan. It looked awful. I think everything else is covered, so just relax and enjoy it.
Really well done. I use to tan in moderation in tanning beds and I was very careful. I have seen women who overdo it and besides being dangerous they look hilarious. Its harsh on the skin. A good bronzing lotion helps your tan stay for up to 8 days so excessive tanning isn't necessary. So important to keeping a tan Hydrate your skin. I love Hawaiian tropic after sun lotion. When you get your base then use a better product.
This actually helped me with what I want to do. I've decided to go tanning, but not every day. I do burn easily, so I've worked out what I'm gonna do. The risk and benefits you listed helped a lot. Your no expert, but honestly, you should start a blog! I like that you listed the dangers of this activity.
