There’s something about having a tan that makes people feel good about themselves. It’s no wonder that so many of us are keen to prolong the sun kissed look of summer.
One way to do this is by using a sunbed. With just a few minutes once or twice a week it’s easy to top up the tan that reminds us so much of our happy summer holiday abroad. Sunbeds are also great for those going on holiday if you don’t want to spend the first few days of your vacation showing off lily white skin.
Like most things moderation is the key to using sunbeds and by sticking closely to the guidelines sunbed manufacturers lay down, you will be able to have the tan that you desire without risking damage to your skin. A few sunbed tips are -
Know your skin type. The fairer your skin the longer it will take to build up your tan. Slow and gradual are the best ways to go.
Always use the goggles. They may not look particularly glamorous but they’ll help protect your eyesight and preserve the delicate skin around your eyes.
Use sunbed lotions rather than ordinary suntan cream. Sunbed lotion has been especially formulated to help speed up the tanning process when using a sunbed. This will mean that you need to spend less time using your sunbed.
Don’t spend “extra” time on your sunbed hoping for a deeper, faster tan. You risk damaging your skin and that is never attractive.
By using a good moisturising cream afterwards you’ll help prolong your tan between sunbed sessions.
