Helpful Things To Know About Portable Tanning Salons

By Haywood Hunter


Portable tanning beds are gaining popularity because they provide natural looking tans just as well as the fixed beds. Exposing the skin to ultraviolet radiation darkens the skin because the skin responds by using a natural defense. The tan bed is an effective way to quickly get a tan.

If you are thinking of taking up tanning, there are some simple guidelines that you can follow to ensure that your skin is not harmed from using portable tanning equipment. If you are using a portable tanning canopy, you still need protection because the UV lights are just as strong as a full-sized tan bed. There are numerous benefits to using a portable tanning canopy bed such as flexibility, portability, and price. While heeding your doctor's warnings, review these straightforward guidelines to ensure that your skin remains healthy.

Melanoma is a skin cancer and is caused by severe skin burns. You may have heard that prolonged exposure from UV lights cause skin cancer, but they also provide daily health benefits such as vitamin D. Some recent studies show that a tan bed provides an ample supply of vitamin D. Most people can use a tan bed liberally if they follow the proper precautions.

Some researchers have correlated skin disease with sun burn that people get as children more so than a tan bed. Some people have a higher occurrence of skin disease or a stronger defense system against prolonged exposure to UV lights. It is not uncommon for people to be exposed to UV lights as an occupational hazard such as fishermen, construction workers, farmers, roofers, etc. Some professionals say that exposing your skin to natural UV lights can increase the skin's defense mechanism to the sun but without taking the proper precautions, it can lead to skin disease.

In essence, you can train your skin to protect itself against strong UV rays and the possibility of melanoma. Since UV lights provide your body with vitamin D, it is important to note that some studies indicate that people with vitamin D deficiency are more likely to get melanoma. Lotions provide various antioxidants and moisture for your skin and provides enhanced protection against strong UV rays.

If you use quality lotions, you can enhance your sessions. There are some lotions that will increase your blood flow, which can be useful in tanning your skin. Look for some after-tan lotions that will cool and firm your skin after a session. If you don't use after-tan, your skin may wrinkle more. If you don't have access to an after-tan lotion, virgin olive oil is another alternative as it contains anti-aging components.

Most people wear bathing suits to a salon or on the beach. Tan lines can be avoided with specialty garments. It is critical to protect private parts and sensitive areas during portable tanning sessions because they can become easily harmed. Portable tanning sessions are not dangerous as long as they are handled responsibly.

If you are considering buying a portable tanning bed for your place, consider this; a full-sized tan bed will have around a 3 1/2 feet wide and 6 1/2 feet long area for the UV lights enclosure. The exterior will take up around a 7 1/2 feet long and 4 feet wide area of your place. Some beds weigh around 1500 pounds, which is hefty to say the least. The dimensions of a full-sized tan bed would be such a hassle to move. Portable tanning beds do not have as much problems when moving them.

If you are looking for space-saving, energy-saving, and lightweight features, a portable tanning canopy offers these very features. Portable tanning canopy beds sport a minimalist design most the time. Portable tanning beds usually weigh around 200 pounds and feel easy to slide and move or even lift by two capable adults.
