Many people wishing to get rid of their pale and washed-out skin appearance are taking advantage of tanning beds. These beds are well built and comfortable to use. In spas and other places, special tanning bed lotions are used to assure an all-over beautiful tan color.
These devices produce the tan by the use of ultraviolet radiation (UVA), which is also found in the sun's rays. Fluorescent lamps are used for this purpose. There are also shields made of acrylics in the beds for protection. Regular outdoor creams cannot be used in this process, as they will damage the shields.
The Federal Food and Drug Administration regulates these beds. They require eye protection, warning labels, and lamp compliance. There are also a number of states that have laws requiring things such as special training for the operators, sterilization of the beds, and other regulations.
Special preparations for this process vary from one brand to another. Some brands contain 'tingle', which is an ingredient that pulls blood to the skin's surface. This allows the body to tan more quickly. These products should not be confused with those purchased at a regular store for use outdoors.
Some lotions also contain what is called bronzer, also identified as DHA. This liquid is a chemical which comes from glycerin and speeds up the process by interacting with the amino acids found in the skin. 'Hot Bronzers' induce tingling, while 'Cool Bronzers' contain menthol.
Other ingredients that are found in various types of tanning bed lotions include copper, tea oil, melanin, L-Tyrrosine, green tree extract, and other natural oils. Obviously, not all brands are the same. Using this process to obtain a tan tends to dehydrate the skin, so all brands have moisturizing elements, the most popular of which is hempseed oil.
