Tanning Bed Central

Almost every person can enjoy tanning indoors. However, you should make sure that you know everything about your overall health and skin in order to engage in a really safe indoor tanning regimen. By knowing your skin type and condition, you will be able to use the right tanning lotions and determine the right exposure times. One of the first things for you to do is to find what type of skin you have. There are 6 types of skin when it comes to indoor tanning. Here are the main characteristics of each of them in order for you to determine your skin type.

• The lightest skin type – people who have translucent or white skin fall into this particular category. Also, such people have light-colored eyes. The lightest skin type faces various problems in tanning in a natural way because it is prone to developing burns quite easily. So, if you belong to this category, you will have to be extremely careful when thinking about entering an indoor tanning regimen. You must be extra cautious and use the right tanning lotion and limit your exposure times in order to avoid unwanted side effects.

• The light skin type – people who fall into this category have similar skin tones when compared to the people belonging to the first category. But they also can tan without burning their skin once they choose the right tanning lotion and the right sun protection. If you belong to this particular category and you want to try the indoor tanning, you should use a tanning lotion that is appropriate for your skin type and get a tanning regimen that can recreate a controlled environment without burning your skin. However, limited exposure to tanning beds is recommended in this case as well in order to get a gradual build-up of your tan. If you have a light skin tone, you should not look for the quickest results. 

• Light brown skin – people falling into this particular category will find out that indoor tanning works perfect for them. People belonging to this category often burn when tanning outdoors but these burns regularly turn into nice tans soon after they fade. If you belong to this category, you can use a proper indoor tanning lotion in order to safely tan indoors thus avoiding the unwanted burns and getting the gorgeous tan you want.

• Light olive skin – people belonging to this category may get some burns when tanning outdoors but they tan quite easily as well. By using the right indoor tanning habits and tanning lotion, you can get a similar tan without having to expose your skin to natural UV lights.

• Dark brown skin – this category is all about people who can easily tan when outdoors and who can get the same results when tanning indoors.

• Black skin type – people falling into this category rarely burn when exposing themselves to sunlight. Plus, they are less likely to make use of tanning lotions when tanning indoors. However, they should use some lotions with moisturizing effects in order to increase the surface of evenness tan and even improve the natural glow that comes from behind the tan.

By knowing your exact skin type, you will know how to choose the right tanning lotions and exposure times for your skin. Unless you have the lightest skin type or some other extraneous skin condition, an indoor tanning regimen can be safe for you once you follow all the proper procedures and use just the right products for your skin type.
