Furthermore, the Indoor Tanning Association claims that “catching some rays may lengthen your life”.  Exposure to sunlight has been linked to improved energy and elevated mood.

​

WHY

​Why would you do tan?  Are there any benefits to tanning?  Indoor tanning promotes hormonal balance and keeps your skin healthy, soft and moisturized. The skin pores get blocked if you produce excess oil. So, it is necessary to have a hormonal balance to regulate oil production. It protects you from several skin disorders including eczema, acne, and psoriasis

​

RECOMMENDED

How often should you tan?  It is suggested that you wait 36- 48 hours in between each session to allow your tan to fully develop in between visits. You can build up your tan by gradually increasing indoor tan-time and tanning two to three times a week. Once you have a tan, you can maintain it by tanning one or two times a week.

​

RESULTS

What are the results of tanning?  Generally speaking, tans will last up to 7 to 10 days before skin starts to naturally exfoliate and regenerate. If you exfoliate your body before tanning, use a tan extender, and keep skin moisturized your tan may last longer than anticipated.

SUMMARY

 What does this help to improve?  Exposure to UV can aid in a healthy sleep cycle. Sunbeds help the body regulate the hormones serotonin and melatonin, which aid in healthy sleep cycles.
