Tanning bed lamps are used in every tan bed or suntan lamp. When purchasing new or used tanning beds
look at the lamps. Make sure they are good for tanning and meet FDA guidelines for safety. Another consideration is access. Be sure the lamps are easy to change when needed. Being able to easily perform the maintenance yourself is important when you buy a home bed.

There are differences in lamps used in conventional and high pressure beds. Make sure you are buying the right tanning bed lamps for your bed. They aren’t interchangeable. If purchasing replacement lighting bulbs on the internet
check the make and model of your bed carefully. Make sure the lamps you are buying are made for your bed.
 
High Pressure Tanning Bed Bulbs
 
High pressure beds use quartz lamps in a variety of sizes. The gases inside these bulbs ( http://www.tanning-beds-tips.com/tanning-bed-bulbs.html ) or lamps have pressure that is slightly higher than atmospheric pressure. In these beds
the lamps are located in the top of the bed
so you tan from above only. When you have tanned on one side of your body for about 10-12 minutes
you turn over and tan the skin on the other side. The surface of these beds is much more comfortable than a conventional bed.

The biggest benefit of these lamps is the time you need to spend in the bed. Since you tan faster
you need to spend less time in the salon. You can achieve your tan in about 3 weeks of 3-5 sessions each week. With a conventional bed
it would take at least a month to achieve the same level of color. Maintaining your tan is easier too. You only need 2-3 sessions each month to maintain the color
compared with that many sessions each week in a conventional bed. These bulbs use UVA rays only
not UVB rays which are responsible for burning.
 
Conventional Tanning Bed Lamps
 
Conventional beds use long
tube like lamps that resemble fluorescent tubes. The lamps ( http://www.tanning-beds-tips.com/tanning-bed-lamps.html ) are located on the top and bottom of the bed. All areas are tanned at the same time
without the need to change positions during the session.

Conventional beds use UVA and UVB rays in varying levels. Some use both and others use mostly UVA with a bit of UVB rays. UVA rays are responsible for the aging effects on the skin and UVB rays are the burning rays that cause sunburn when you are outside in the sun. It’s important to determine which type of rays your bed emits. You want to be sure to replace your existing bulbs with comparable newer lamps.

Another consideration in the type of bed you have at home or in the salon is the tanning bed lotion you will use. Different lotions are better for each type of bed. The owner of your tanning salon can help you choose a lotion that will work for the bed you are using as well as your skin type. Regardless of the bed you are using
you should always use a lotion. Lotions help you tan faster and nourish your skin.

The danger of exposure to the ultraviolet lights of the sun and tanning beds has been well established. The only safe tan is a fake tan. Using a sunless suntan lotion is the best way to get the color you want without the risks to your health. Skin cancer and premature aging of the skin are the most common health dangers resulting from exposure to UV rays.

Sunless tanning products are available in a wide range of formulas. You will find them for every skin type and color. It’s important to choose a product that is made for your skin type for the best results. Using a darker formula on very light skin can result in skin discoloration and an orange hue to the skin. Many products are marked for light or fair skin.

Using Sunless Suntan Lotion at Home

A variety of self tanning products are available for home use
including sprays
cr่me and lotions. Even application is essential for even color. Colored lotions are available that allow you to see exactly where you have applied the product. You will be able to see any missed areas. As the lotion soaks in
the color fades. Apply to thicker areas of the skin
such as the elbows
knees and ankles last to avoid darker color in these areas. Wear plastic gloves during application to keep the palms of the hands from getting stained.

Prepare your skin before applying the tanner. Shower and use an exfoliating product to remove dead skin cells. This will help with even absorption. If you take time to prepare your skin
you will get better coverage and your color will last longer. Some self tanners come in a complete kit with the lotion and an exfoliating product.

Sunless tan products take up to an hour to work. For an all over tan without tan lines
apply the product in the nude. It can take up to an hour for the product to soak in and begin to work. The effect will last approximately one week. To maintain your color
re apply the lotion every three to five days. You can make this part of your regular beauty routine
or just use them for vacation or a special occasion.

Suntan Lotion in a Booth

If you want a great safe tan
but don’t want the hassle of applying the lotions
consider visiting a salon for a spray on tan. These use products like Mystic Tan or Sunshower. They are applied by spray nozzles
while you stand in a booth. The process only takes a few minutes
but the full effect won’t be seen for several hours. Most solutions have a bronzer that will give some immediate results. This initial color will darken throughout the day.

Your spray on tan will last between one and two weeks
depending on your skin. Shaving
chlorine and sitting in the sand will make your skin exfoliate faster and your tan will fade quicker. An extending moisturizer can help extend your tan. You can use a home tanning product in between booth sessions to keep your color.
