The Home Tan Advantage

Whilst in some countries, like Asia and India, pale skin is considered beautiful, in most Western cultures, people want a tan. Exposed to images of bronzed and accessorized starlets, we associate a tan with glamour. Their tans ooze luxury and an interesting life. So, for our own sense of beauty, we try to copy that nearly perfect skin complexion and tone. And many of us are prepared to invest the time and effort to create the perfect glow in our own skin. Luckily, the affordability of tanning salons and skincare products make it more accessible to those of us on more mortal budgets.

There are many benefits to being tanned. Tans hide blemishes of the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite. They are a great accessory, and let us to wear a greater array of colors, better. We look healthier, and more relaxed, like we just came back from a holiday.

Its' one thing to want a tan, another to get one. Simply sunbathing gets tedious very quickly, and is somewhat unreliable. It is impossible to control how strong the sun is, hence we're more likely to get burned than tanned, unless we have a good base tan to start with. And it can be difficult to find the time to lie in the sun. Compared to a session in a tanning bed, it can take hours to get a decent tan.

Of course, we can always go to a tanning salon. But that has its' drawbacks too. There's the traveling time for a start, then you have to fit the appointment into your schedule. And there's the fact that it wasn't just your bare and sweaty body lying on that tanning bed. Whilst the antibacterial cleaners are good, there's nothing like having your own tanning bed for peace of mind.

Having Treatments in the Comfort of your Home

Residential tanning beds are probably the epitome of convenience when it comes to tanning. And if you use tanning salons, you can probably save money over the life of the bed. As long as you're sensible and don't overdo do it in the excitement of having your own tanning bed available 24/7, you can maintain a great color too. And that's without having to spend hours lying on the beach. Most tanning beds have facial tanners that you can use to lightly tan your face without exposing it too much. And if you add up how much you would spend at the tanning salon over the average life span of a residential tanning bed, its easy to see how it would pay for itself.
