Sun Tanning Beds: A Safe Year Round Tan at Home

Why do so many intelligent people choose sun tanning beds in their homes over spending time on the beach, or at the pool?

Perhaps it’s because they appreciate that long periods of exposure to the sun put them at greater risk for overexposure and sunburn. Sun tanning beds take away that threat.

You have probably read reports that sun tanning beds cause skin cancer. However, because your exposure to the tanning rays while using a home tanning bed is of much shorter duration, many scientists now feel the risks are minimized when compared to lengthy exposure to the sun.

When sun tanning beds are purchased and put in the home, they also offer a couple of other major benefits: Privacy and cleanliness.

Going to a tanning salon does necessary allow you either of those benefits.

If you have visited a tanning salon, how many times have you wondered if the surface you are laying on was really sanitized since the last person who used it? Needless to say, people often perspire when tanning in this way, and it is not enough to simply wipe down a surface after use.

Privacy is another major issue. Because of the nature of the tanning salon business, employees are generally fairly low paid. There have been many reports of customers, particularly women, who have been secretly videotaped while using the tanning bed.

Have you read stories about privacy violations at tanning salons? If so, doesn’t it kind of freak you out as you disrobe in the “privacy” of your tanning room? It is certainly understandable if it does!

When shopping for sun tanning beds, you will find they come in a number of sizes and shapes.

Low pressure beds are the most common. When using this type bed, UV rays are emitted in approximately the same range as natural sunlight.

With the low pressure bed you stand the greatest chance of becoming sun burned, and they are usually not a good choice if you have a skin type that burns easily.

High pressure beds, on the other hand, put out a higher amount of UVA rays. This means it will take you longer to tan, but there is a smaller chance of burning. The high pressure beds are generally more expensive.

There are also stand up tanning beds that allow you to tan without having to lie down. Some of these come complete with a booth that will give you a complete tan over your entire body.

If you frequently visit tanning salons, you will find that a sun tanning bed will pay for itself in no time. All of your tanning supplies may also be purchased, to give you the complete home tanning experience.

Imagine enjoying a healthy tan all year around. People with sun tanning beds at home enjoy this luxury. They also know that their tanning experience is totally clean and their privacy is guaranteed!
