The danger comes from overexposure to both UVA and UVB rays – although UVB rays are considered infinitely more dangerous. Tanning beds offer 40% less exposure to UVB rays. However, this does not in any way mean that you are completely protected. If you absolutely must tan – if you are fair skinned it is recommended that you not tan at all – it is important to do so responsibly. In order to minimize your risk of sun damage – the early aging of skin, including wrinkling, and various skin cancers, including melanoma – it is absolutely essential to use lotions that offer your skin at least partial protection against UV rays.
The dangers being said, the joys of tanning beds are self-evident. Tanning beds offer convenience – a way to achieve the glow and vitality of summer all year long. And a way to achieve that look in virtually half the time it takes to tan outdoors. Tanning beds can deliver the warmth and good feelings of a summer day even in the cold of winter; and, if nothing else, allow you a few minutes of solitary relaxation for a heavenly fifteen minutes.
