Fashion trends impose their own rules on us. One of the essential attributes of a modern beauty is dark skin. It is after her that we are rushing to the southern countries. Without access to the sun, many visit the solarium. They are visited, knowing about its harm, manifested in a negative effect on the skin, which provokes its aging and drying. Also, do not forget that visiting a solarium is often considered the cause of skin cancer.
In addition to negative properties, the tan also has positive effects, the most important of which is beauty, which makes the appearance younger, thereby enhancing mood and self-esteem. And ultraviolet rays that adversely affect our skin are necessary for the absorption of vitamin D, which is necessary for the formation and strengthening of bone tissue.
Having familiarized themselves with the positive and negative aspects of the impact of tanning beds on the body and appearance, everyone will make their own choice.
The most popular vertical tanning bed. It is believed that the tan in it turns out smoother and more beautiful than in the horizontal. Therefore, let's talk about how to sunbathe in a vertical tanning bed.
The main thing that should not be neglected in the preparation is the reflection on whether the tan is acceptable for you. If you are the owner of white skin, blond hair and a large number of freckles, then you probably already noticed that your skin resists tanning - it burns very quickly. This is a signal that tanning is undesirable for you, just as if you have a large number of moles on your body. If you still decide to go against it, then use a sunblock in the solarium with the highest degree of protection.
Tanning in a tanning bed is contraindicated for pregnant women, as well as people suffering from skin diseases and diseases of some internal organs, such as the kidneys.
Speaking about how to properly sunbathe in a vertical tanning bed, it is worth remembering the correct preparation for this procedure. Before visiting the tanning bed, you need to take a shower and cleanse your skin well of any cosmetics (except creams for an even and safe tan). All jewelry, as well as glasses and contact lenses, should be removed.
What you need for a solarium
When taking a tan, do not forget about protecting the skin using the already mentioned cream. Sensitive skin of the mammary glands needs special protection - they are covered with special devices called stikinis. Ultraviolet hair can become dry and brittle, so use a lightweight fabric cap. You can wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
The tan will be more even if during the procedure you will not forget how to sunbathe properly. In a vertical tanning bed, the lamps are arranged in a circle - from the ceiling to the floor of the cabin. Do not forget to change the poses (as far as space allows), lower and raise your hands, turn your palms inward and outward.
Choosing the time of your stay in the booth, keep in mind that you need to start with a minimum, gradually prolonging it. For unprepared skin on the first day of tanning, 3 minutes will be enough. The interval between the adoption of procedures should not be less than 24 hours. From the second day, time can be increased by 2-3 minutes, gradually bringing it to 10 minutes per day.
To maintain the color of already tanned skin, it is enough to visit the solarium 1-2 times a week for 10 minutes.
That's all the basic rules. If you are still afraid of the negative consequences, consult a cosmetologist on how to sunbathe in a vertical tanning bed and whether it is worth doing at all.
