Sunless tanning are in demand nowadays. If you don’t want to be exposed to too much sun but still want that sun-kissed glow then it’s the right thing for you. However, is it really safe to choose indoor tanning?
When natural sunlight is hard to be seen, it might be tempting to replace time in the sun with a quick visit to a tanning bed. But does tanning clinics provide the same healthy benefits as sunlight? Particularly, are tanning beds a safe source of vitamin D? Tanning salons might like you to believe they are. Don’t be fooled and be cautious. Tanning indoors is not a good source of vitamin D. The reason is because of the harmful characteristics and effects of ultraviolet light rays, and the effects they have on the body.
Tanning salons are more concerned with UVA rays. These UVA rays create the bronze-brown tan coveted by most salon-goers. Most tanning salons regulate their beds to emit approximately 95% of UVA rays. It maximizes the tanning effects of the booth and minimizes the risk of burning. Unfortunately, it also minimizes the amount of vitamin D that can be used in proportion to the exposure to damaging UVA rays.
There are also studies that explain that indoor tanning devices increased risk of melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. So before trying or considering indoor tanning, be aware of the benefits it can give your skin and your body.
It is still advisable to just go to the beach, wear a bikini and get natural tan. Spending time in the sun can supply the body with vitamin D which is essential in helping to defend against depression, heart disease, stroke, cancer and osteoporosis.
Natural way is still the best way.
