Tanning ReviewDo you want darker skin read the review for information and advise

Tanning can damage your body and your health take care when using UV light and other tanning equipment

First rule you have to be eighteen before you can go on a sun bed by law, this is because your body is still developing and may affect you and your body in more ways than one.

Your complexion is the most important thing about tanning and you need to make sure you are careful and don’t over do it, as you can become very poorly. Once you have had a couple of sessions you can then boost your time by two or three minutes the most. If you begin to turn red, decrease your time until you have a strong base tan.

Your body continues to tan even after you leave the tanning salon. Sometimes it takes up to 24 hours for your body to take in the full affects of the tanning session. So tanning everyday is definitely unhealthy for you and your skin.

Stand up tanning booths and tanning beds can both give great tans equally, but it depends on which type of bulbs are being used and how powerful they are.

Tanning during pregnancy is not a very good idea. Tanning while pregnant can cause a skin disorder which is called Melasma. Melasma skin disorder can causes areas of a pregnant woman's face to change to a darker uneven brown colour, which could fade several months after delivery, but in many cases the discoloration is permanent.

Airbrush tanning gives very similar effects as getting into a spray tan booth. Airbrush tanning is when someone actually sprays you down with tanning solution. The only real downside of this is you may feel uncomfortable by having some stranger giving you an all body airbrush tan.

Airbrush tanning allows more accuracy than a spray tanning booth can provide. However it is also important that the person doing the airbrush tanning has been trained in using the airbrush tan unit. With the airbrush tan you will have a great natural looking and healthy tan. But sometimes the airbrush tan can become streaky that will take several days to go away.

Spray tanning has become very popular with celebrities such as Paris Hilton and many more of our idols.

Spray Tanning is also known as fake tanning, but don’t let that put you off as this can give you a natural look if applied and treated properly. Most people are very happy with the results they get from spray tanning, and think it is good money and value. But there are some downsides to spray tanning you should be aware of:

To keep the tan you need to visit the spray booth about twice a week for your tan topping up.

Pool water will remove your entire spray tan and make you look a right fool, so try and avoid the spray tanning before a holiday.

Tanning lotion, you need to consider a lot of things before buying. First is your natural or current skin tone.  Individuals with lighter skin tones should consider using different tanning lotions than those with a darker complexion.

You must also put into consideration how easily you burn. Because some of the tanning lotions may give you a darker tan than you wish to receive, so if you burn easily with natural sun then you will burn with a tanning lotion.

Tanning lotions will not protect you from getting burnt, but they will help your tan develop more quickly.

When trying a lotion just apply a finger tip full on a area of your body and see if it burn or irritates you, getting a stronger lotion wont make you tan quicker it will just make you poorly and burn.

Eye protection is the most important precaution you must take when tanning. Even if you close your eyes and feel that is sufficient enough well it’s not this will damage you eyes. UV radiation is still able to enter your eyes even when they are closed.

Tanning without goggles can and will destroy your vision and your perception of colours. Ask for goggles from the sun bed employees if they don’t ask you to wear them.

In order to maintain your tan throughout the year, the best idea is to purchase a tanning lamp which could also save you a lot of money and a lot of time. Purchasing your own tanning lamps are the best alternative. Tanning lamps are inexpensive and compact.

Tanning lamps only tan one area of your body at a time unlike a tanning bed which covers most of your body and gives you an even tan. Sometimes this can be cheaper and easier for you. Owning your own tanning lamp will allow you to tan in your own time and the privacy of your own home. Tanning lamps are a cheap one time expense that will keep your tan all year round.
