Tanning salons today have become quite a familiar part of everyday life. A light tan in the middle of winter no longer surprises anyone. Reasonably tanning under an artificial sun is a pleasant and beneficial procedure. But if you go too far with the duration and frequency of sessions, a tan can become simply dangerous to health. How to go to the solarium? Can I go to the solarium every day? What should I look for when going to the solarium?
You can go to the solarium to all healthy people. However, there are contraindications in the case of certain diseases of the skin, internal organs. Therefore, before tanning sessions, it is better to consult a doctor.
It is not recommended to sunbathe in the solarium for people with very fair and sensitive skin, pregnant women, as well as adolescents under 16 years of age.
How to go to the solarium?
You need to sunbathe in a tanning salon, completely removing makeup and flushing perfumes from your body. It’s good to take a shower at home before the session. This will allow you to thoroughly clean the skin, and remove keratinized cells from it, so that they then do not go away with the tan.
You can not sunbathe in glasses, as well as contact lenses. You should not visit the solarium immediately after hair removal, because this procedure increases the sensitivity of the skin several times.
How to go to the solarium? What cosmetics to use?
During the session you need to protect the skin. To do this, use special cosmetics for tanning. It is very important to always use a face cream that protects against photoaging.
Body cream must be selected in accordance with the type of skin. Those who develop provisions on how to walk with a tanning bed are advised to pay attention to cosmetics, which should be specifically designed for use in a tanning bed, and not just for tanning on the beach. There is a significant difference between them.
Eyes during tanning should be protected with special glasses. Hair is also afraid of drying out, so it is recommended to cover it with a hat.
Many people prefer to sunbathe without a bikini. In this case, it is important to remember that ultraviolet light is dangerous for the female breast. In order to protect yourself from unpleasant consequences, you must definitely use stikini, which protect the mammary glands. We must not allow tattoos, age spots and convex moles to fall under the influence of the artificial sun - tanning is dangerous for them.
How much do you need to go to the solarium ?
For each person, the regimen of visiting the solarium will be different. Everything again depends on the type of skin, its sensitivity, the degree of preparedness for tanning procedures.
There are four types of skin: very light, light (sensitive species), medium pigmentation and dark (well accustomed to the sun). For owners of sensitive skin, the first sessions in duration should not exceed 3-4 minutes. In the future, it is allowed to bring the time of 5-7 minutes. If your skin responds well to the sun and is not prone to burns, then you can start to tan even from 7-10 minutes, while limiting yourself to several sessions.
In order to get a pleasant bronze skin tone, 6-8 sessions with an interval of 1-3 days are enough. Excessive zeal is not worth it, because an excessive tan looks unnatural. In addition, it is harmful to health.
What you should pay attention to
The most uniform tan give vertical tanning beds. If the device is horizontal, it is better to choose one that has an ergonomically designed bottom surface. Tanning sessions in a vertical tanning bed are required for a shorter duration than in a horizontal tanning bed to achieve the same effect.
In the tanning bed there must be a health worker with whom you can discuss the schedule of visits, which will be safe for you. He should advise you on how to go to the solarium.
Choose tanning beds with tunnel-shaped low-pressure lamps. As a rule, all the latest models have just such lamps. They are suitable for any type of skin, because they have a minimal risk of burns. Lamps must be new, because old lamps not only do not have the desired effect, but also can have a bad effect on health. The devices should have good ventilation.
It is better not to use tanning beds with pink lamps, which are designed for intense tanning of the face and décolleté. It is better to go one time more to a regular tanning bed - it is safer and will help to avoid burns.
