Stand up Tanning Bed

By


A new innovation to the conventional tanning bed came about where there is a need to stand up. This is known as the stand up tanning bed or booth. It is now offered in many salons. It has a capsule like shape and unlike the traditional tanning bed, the process involves walking into the standing booth and standing for the entire duration. There is no need to worry about suffocation or exposure to unbearable heat as there is a fan installed on the upper portion to keep the person cool though out the session. If you are claustrophobic or go nuts when in an enclosed area, you can now take advantage of getting a tan inside. Your fears will be allayed once you step up to the tan.

There are actually more people who prefer to utilize a standing bed as it is easier for them to spread the parts of the body that are not evenly exposed to the light in other methods. For those who are hesitant to get a tan in a tanning bed where there is a need to lie on the equipment that has been used by lots of customers, this stand up tanning bed is the best solution. The only parts of the body that will be touching the equipment are the feet. For those who are still bothered about this, they can wear slippers or sandals during the session or stand on a towel. Stand up tanning beds help you tan faster than the old versions. It can reduce up to half of the time consumed for the whole tanning process.

As with other tanning methods, it is still best to exfoliate one night before the session to obtain the optimal result. Exfoliation will get the dead cells off the outer layer of the skin and reveal a new layer. The reason for this is the sun will now be able to penetrate the skin properly. This is also to make sure that the result will be uniform. A few days before walking into the tanning booth, make sure to keep the skin moisturized day and night to keep it from getting dry and flaky when tanning. Continue to apply moisturizer even after the tanning process has been completed. To achieve the best result, avoid staying in the tanning booth longer than 30 minutes.

It is not advisable as well to use tanning beds everyday though there are many people who claim that they have a better tan if they stand in the booth everyday. The skin should be given time to rest and recover from dryness and radiation, thus it is better to do the next session after a 48 hour waiting period.

This new innovative equipment for tanning is best suited for those who have limited time and wanted to save it and spend it in more valuable purposeful activities. Though a stand up tanning bed is an alternative to the harmful rays of the sun, it does not mean that indoor tanning beds are safe. They are not as harmful as tanning under the sun, but since it is the ultra violet rays from the bulbs that create the tan, it still has dangers. Though the rays from the tanning beds are just short waves, they can still burn or leave redness on the skin just like the rays from the sun.

Most people who are exposed to the sun worry about the possibility of getting skin cancer. It might be true that too much exposure to the heat of the sun causes cancer. It is the ultraviolet rays that cause the skin condition and it is very true that too much exposure to the rays from the tanning bulbs can also develop the same cancer. What most people do not know is that they are getting twice the amount of the rays from the stand up tanning bed than what they get from the real sunlight.

There are many tanning beds for sale if you are looking to purchase them for your home. You can look on line and see what kind of a deal you can get. You may want to look at used tanning beds. Though it may sound awful, there is really no harm in buying one if it functions properly.
 
You can also find used tanning beds for sale if there is a salon that is going out of business. You can get an excellent deal there. Normally, they want to get as much cash out of their businesses as soon as possible. Any offer you give them will more than likely get accepted. The stand up tanning bed is a great new innovation. If you want to get a great tan, this is the best way to do it. You can get brown and not have to touch anything or feel uneasy because of the enclosed space.

I find that the difference between a stand up bed and a lay down tanning bed are all personal preference. Home tanning beds are a great way to save money if you tan on a regular basis. Great hub!
