TANNING TIPS The sun is the life source of humans and plays
a crucial role in the physical and mental well-being of everyone.
Just as adrenaline provides energy to help people escape from
dangerous situations and body fat insulates them from the cold
weather, the skin also serves such a purpose. Tan skin helps protect
the human body from the damaging effects of excessive sun exposure.
The
best way to get a "smart tan" is through the use of indoor
tanning equipment. The International Smart Tan Network has
created
a comprehensive concept of sun safety. It includes easy and
reasonable guidelines and preventative measures, such as the
following regardingoutdoor tanning:
- Avoid sunburn, the enemy associated with permanent skin damage.
The skin is put at greater risk for melanoma and other types
of skin cancer.
- Learn the six distinct skin types. Each reacts differently
to sun exposure.
- Always cover the eyes, which are not protected by the eyelids
alone.
- Stay protected when outdoors. Wear appropriate sunscreens.
Fortunately, indoor tanning provides control
over all these factors. Those who choose to tan indoors derive
the following benefits:
- Gradual tanning in an indoor controlled environment.
- Protective eyewear is provided to each client.
- A trained staff member is available to evaluate your skin type
to maximize your tanning experience.
- Indoor tanning sessions are individually timed to reduce
overexposure.
- Tanning convenience for those who don't have time to tan
outdoors.
- Chance of adverse weather affecting your tanning time is eliminated.
Today's smart tanners choose to tan indoors in
a controlled environment. Outdoor tanning has become even more
dangerous because of the depleting ozone layer- and technological
advances with indoor tanning equipment have made the tanning experience
more efficient. In addition, a professionally trained staff in
a tanning salon can provide assistance to each client and focus
on individual needs.
