Tanning Beds Depot

One of the best choices is to buy a used tanning bed. You can find used products easily from tanning saloons. Most saloons, who want to upgrade, sell their older tanning beds at a low cost. Even though they are generally cheap, the price can vary considerably based on the brand and model of the tanning bed. Before purchasing, make sure that the bed is in good condition. You should also check the model, the year of manufacturing, and the features of the tanning bed.

Another suggestion is to buy tanning beds at a wholesale rate. Selling tanning beds at a wholesale rate is a common practice in many online stores. You should ensure the refund and exchange policy when you buy beds from such stores. Further, you can purchase the tanning beds directly from the manufacturer. In some cases, the manufacturers - who exceed the maximum stockholding limit - sell off their products at a comparatively lower rate.

All conventional tanning beds have lamps that produce ultraviolet radiation - both UVB and UVA rays. The UVB rays are accountable for stimulating production of the naturally occurring skin pigment melanin. However, minor overexposure to UVB rays causes burn, while major overexposure is linked to skin cancers. The UVA rays are the ones that oxidize the melanin, producing the golden brown color. The UVA rays account for the majority of rays originating in the lamps or bulbs in a tanning bed.

If you are using a conventional bed, first develop a base tan by tanning for twenty to thirty minutes, three to five times a week, for about four weeks. Then, maintain the tan by tanning two to three times a week thereafter.

High-pressure tanning beds are different, in that they utilize only UVA rays and no UVB rays. The term "high-pressure" refers to the atmosphere inside the lamps or bulbs, which are made out of quartz. The higher air pressure is what allows the lamp or bulb to filter out virtually all UVB rays - the rays that produce burn. The result is a faster, deeper, longer-lasting tan.

If you are using a high-pressure tanning bed, develop a base tan by tanning for ten to twelve minutes, three to five times total, over a matter of ten to fourteen days. Maintain the tan with only two or three visits per month.

Use a tanning bed lotion or "tan accelerator" to increase tanning speed and quality. Apply tan accelerator all over your body before and after your tanning session, since melanin oxidization and production continues long after you've been exposed to UV light. This will keep your skin cool, comfortable, moisturized, and just generally healthier.
