Tanning beds can give you a quick, even tan, but without proper precautions, the UV exposure can harm your skin and eyes. Following safety guidelines ensures you get the look you want without unnecessary risk.
1. Know Your Skin Type
Fairer skin burns more easily, so session times should be shorter. Darker skin can tolerate slightly more UV exposure, but no skin type is immune to damage.
2. Start Slowly
Begin with the shortest recommended session time, then gradually increase as your skin adapts. Avoid back-to-back sessions to give your skin time to recover.
3. Use Protective Eyewear
UV radiation can damage your eyes and lead to long-term vision problems. Always wear the goggles provided by the tanning salon.
4. Moisturize
Tanning beds can dry out your skin. Apply a hydrating lotion before and after each session to maintain skin health and prolong your tan.
Conclusion
Safe tanning is possible if you respect your skin’s limits, follow recommended times, and use proper protection.
