Reduce Your Odds of Overexposure

Everyone is familiar with the increased risk of skin cancer that comes from spending too much time out in the sun, and there is nothing worse than a lobster-red sunburn. When tanning outdoors, many people risk overexposure to UV rays. This is because it is all too easy to lose track of time and forget to re-apply your sunscreen. When you choose to tan at a reputable tanning salon, the FDA’s recommended guidelines for UV exposure will be explained to you, and there are strict policies in place to prevent dangerous overexposure.

Boost Your Mood

Lack of UV exposure not only prevents you from getting the tan that you desire, but it turns out that it can actually affect your mood. Conditions like Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can leave us feeling down and lethargic, and more people experience this condition during the winter months when the hours of daylight are limited. This is because we need UV light to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D. Indoor tanning can help stimulate the production of this vitamin, which may help improve your mood.

Soothe Your Skin

If you have undesirable skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, or eczema, you may find that indoor tanning helps these conditions, as they have all been known to respond positively to UV exposure. This is likely because UV rays help curb excessive oil production, soothing skin that is dry and irritated. Additionally, tanning has been found to help reduce the appearance of other skin imperfections, such as scarring and stretch marks, as these conditions are likely to be less visible when your skin tone is darker.
