Home Tanning Bed

A home tanning bed will provide you with the privacy and convenience you could never get by going to a salon or the beach for your tan. You can always be sure when you get into your own tanning bed that it is clean and sanitary. These are reasons enough for qualifying this purchase as more of a necessity than a luxury. Looking good is definitely a necessity!

Home tanning beds, like commercial beds, have a 20 minute timer. However, the timer is attached to the bed; not out at an attendant's desk. Always remember to wear goggles to protect your retinas. When used properly, a home tanning bed will help you keep your healthy glow all year round. Ultra violet light, used responsibly, can be healing for some skin conditions and even help prevent some forms of cancer, osteoporosis, hypertension and diabetes according to research by Susan Freinkel in her June 2003 Reader's Digest article "The Healing Vitamin." Her research recommends 10-20 minutes a day under ultra violet light without sunscreen will allow the body to produce vitamin D.

HOME TANNING BEDS - helping you look good in so many ways!

Are you thinking about buying a home tanning bed? You may be doing it for cosmetic reasons, but did you know that use of a tanning bed could result in significant health benefits? From preventing skin damage to strengthening bones to improving mental health, tanning beds can actually make you feel better - which of course, is the best beauty treatment of all!

STOP THE BURN
Many doctors warn would-be tanners with tales of red, blistered, sun-baked skin. However, a smart tanner actually tans to prevent a burn! Using a tanning bed allows the tanner to enjoy a controlled dose of sun instead of guessing about the intensity of natural light. Slow, controlled tanning allows the skin to gradually build levels of melanin, the chemical that creates a tan AND prevents sunburn.

So don't be intimidated by those who say that a tanning bed will automatically lead to a painful burn - use your sun bed wisely and you will prove them wrong every time.

WALKING TALL
A great tan is a boost to anyone's confidence- but did you know that regular use could actually help you stand straighter and taller by fighting the effects of osteoporosis and osteomalacia?

Both of these crippling conditions are partly caused by a shortage of vitamin D. Vitamin D is vital to the body's absorption and utilization of calcium.

Photo-biologists believe that regular, non-burning tanning - including that done indoors - can actually increase levels of vitamin D and help combat some degenerative bone diseases. In a recent New York Times interview, Dr. Michael Holick of the Boston University Medical Center said that more than 80% of the daily requirement for Vitamin D generally is filled by sunlight. For those who cannot tan outside, sensible indoor tanning is another way to get your Vitamin D!

A TAN AND A SMILE
Scientists have known for years that the dark winter months can cause a form of depression known as Seasonal Affective Disorder. This condition causes sleep irregularities, appetite, behavioral and sexual dysfunction, and more.

The good news is that increasing the amount of light to which a person is exposed each day easily treats Seasonal Affective Disorder. According to a series of studies published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, indoor tanning, when used wisely, is a safe and drug-free way to combat seasonal depression.

When you are ready to purchase, remember, looking good is just the start. Sensible, safe tanning on an indoors can provide real health results, for a brighter outlook and a healthier you!
