It’s one thing to have a fit body, working out regularly to make your look your best, but it’s just not enough, is it? – you need a tanned body to showcase all of your hard work. The gift wrapping on a body that sends the opposite sex into a crazed frenzy.

If this sounds like you, then welcome you to the wonderful work of tanning beds and indoor tanning. On this site, it is my goal to share with you, everything I can tanning beds, including How to use a tanning bed, the importance of tanning goggles, the best tanning bed lotions, how tanning bed bulbs work and some of my favorite indoor tanning tips.

Tanning Beds for a  Yearlong Tan

Tanning beds are machines that generate the same ultraviolet rays that come from the sun, in order to make your skin darken into an attractive tan. The vertical model of the indoor tanning bed is called a tanning booth, rather than a tanning bed.  In the tanning booth, you stand, which isn’t as relaxing, but you don’t have any physical contact with the acrylic sheet, either, so there aren’t any poorly tanning areas due to pressure points.

Tanning beds are widely regarded as a sure and effective way to get a tan, regardless of the season or weather.  As such, tanning beds have become quite the hit all around the world.  There are some potential harmful effects of tanning beds, just as there is with tanning in the sun, so with some care and caution, tanning in a tanning bed might be right for you.

To get the best experience from your indoor tanning bed, I recommend that you use an appropriate indoor tanning lotion, sometimes called an tanning accelerator, available online or in your local salon.  Make sure not to use tanning lotions designed for outdoor use in the tanning bed for several reasons: they fog the acrylic in the tanning bed, preventing the ultraviolet light from coming through and tanning your skin, and they do not contain the necessary moisturizers to keep your skin supple through the intense treatment from the tanning bed.

The time that you spend inside a tanning bed is dependent upon on your skin type and the stage of your tanning routine.  Also, some beds are stronger than others, and will require less time for the same tanning effect.  For example High Density tanning beds use bulbs with a higher wattage that send out more ultraviolet energy in less time.  Also a bed with more bulbs and well-placed reflectors would take less time than few bulbs and poor reflector placement. 

Indoor tanning beds are now quite common.  You can even buy one of your own, either brand new, or through the classifieds.  However, before you buy a tanning bed, it’s important to know what you are paying for and the ultimate costs of owning a tanning bed of your own. Apart from the initial set-up cost, tanning bed lotions, pillows, and lamps could all end up costing a bit more than you expected.  As a result, it’s a good idea to do a cost-benefit analysis before making such an important decision.

Over the long term, it is simply a matter of balancing the emotional need to look great with the financial need to cut costs. Discover the wonders of the tanning bed and get the bronze body you have always wanted!
