Uses Tanning Booths Wisely

Though resembling in function and technical specificity, tanning booths are different from tanning beds by the user's standing position. With tanning booths one stands, and this peculiarity represents the main advantage of such equipments. Sanitation is the actual reason for which tanning booths are given better ratings than tanning beds, since they impose virtually zero contact between the user and the unit. The popularity of such devices also increased because of many prejudices about tanning beds: there were people who pretended to have got herpes from prior users, for example. Though this remains far from the truth, negative publicity works too, and tanning booths became safer than tanning beds.

The truth is that regardless of whether of using tanning beds or tanning booths, cleaning substances are part of the usage routine, not to mention that the high UV exposure makes the proliferation of bacteria almost impossible. Tanning booths also stand apart by the higher power output in the reflecting UVA lamps. This means that technically speaking, tanning booths rely on 160 watt lamps, which are significantly more powerful than those used by tanning beds. This is also the reason for which the sessions are five or ten minutes shorter too, which could really matter for one who cannot afford to waste any time at all.

One of the advantages of tanning booths was only discovered when the presence of the pressure points came under debate. When lying on a bed, a person's body gets areas where the blood slows down in its proper flow because of the position. The consequence of this lack of uniformity is irregular tanning, but the chances for such an accidental skin look areminimal with tanning booths. What clients find more upsetting is the higher costs for the tanning booths use, as not anyone can afford to pay double or triple several times a week. This also explains why tanning beds outnumber tanning booths, as not all salons afford to make improvements.

Generally speaking, tanning booths fall under the same category as other tanning gear: they pose similar health hazards and the national regulations work the same way. Even if the time spent in tanning booths is a bit reduced, the exposure to ultraviolets is not completely safe, and the potential hazards are increased by the prior existence of some skin problem left undetected until the tanning session. Therefore, people should pay more attention to their body, as good looks are not worth supporting at the expense of personal health.
