As someone who loves a touch of tan on their skin but is always on the go, I needed more time to take myself out for a natural tan, which I could not.
Thanks to my busy schedule, I realized that tanning was not for me anymore, until I came across this indoor tanning thing.
Trust me when I say this: Indoor tanning has more perks than natural tanning, and I can literally vouch for it.
The Benefits of Indoor Tanning
Indoor tanning is a quick and convenient method for busy people to achieve a tan. These are the perks you can look for:
Ensures Controlled UV Light
Unlike tanning from long sun exposures, tanning salons ensure skin safety with a specific time duration for UV exposure. They set levels of intensity and you can change them depending on your preference.
This lowers the chances of several health risks associated with prolonged sun exposure like sun damage, skin aging, melanoma and other skin cancers.
Source Of Vitamin D
Indoor tanning can increase the vitamin D levels in your body.
UV radiations from tanning beds help you get this essential vitamin, which is a proven cure for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation.
Makes Acne Scars Less Visible
If you are also bothered by your acne marks or scars like me, indoor tanning is certainly not a thing to miss. It is a great way to make acne scars less noticeable.
Scars stand out as they are a shade darker than our normal skin complexion. Tanning balances out the skin by blending scars with the face tone. I hope you get the concept!
Helps Boost Your Weight Loss Journey
It might be hard to believe that indoor UV tanning can also help you with the weight loss journey. But, it’s true! I, myself, have experienced it.
The thing is, when you tan indoors, it speeds up your metabolism. Fast energy burning would lead you to shed body fat.
Brightens Up Jaundice Skin
Indoor tanning can help lessen the yellowish look of the jaundiced skin. I suggested this to my friend, and she’s pretty happy with the outcome.
Let me elaborate: Exposure to ultraviolet light darkens the skin a bit so the yellow is not as noticeable as it was before. Your skin will start to look more vibrant and healthy.
Provides Skin Condition Management
Tanning bed provides therapeutic benefits by promoting skin healing and reducing inflammation.
It helps combat certain skin conditions, such as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), psoriasis, or eczema.
With indoor tanning, you can get an even tan without the risk of sunburn, or getting a base tan first.
Are You Supposed To Wear Sunscreen In a Tanning Bed?
Using sun protection on a tanning bed will not give you the tan you want.
If you want to use one, traditional sunscreens won’t do. My dermatologist recommended to me lotions that are specifically designed for the artificial UVA light in these beds. You should refer to a dermatologist to get some for yourself.
Are You Ready to Glow?
So, there you have it! Indoor tanning can make you looking fabulous in no time. I think you should follow the safety guidelines to protect your skin! Remember, moderation is key, as with everything.
