Hot sunny weather, a perfect sandy beach, deep blue sea and cocktails next to your sunbed… What more can you ask for? Well, nothing except for the summer to come back and your glorious lush tan it took with it. Since this is not possible unless you have powers no one knows about, you can’t bring back summer. All you can do is wait for the next one. Or, you can get that dreamy bronze tan in one of the two artificial ways: by applying self-tanning products or lying in a tanning bed. But which of the twos is more effective and more importantly, safer? Let’s investigate!
Using tanning beds is surely effective but there are huge risks that come with it. As the tanning bed is made of tanning bulbs emitting UV rays that help you get the dark tan, you need to lie still for several minutes exposed to the harmful UV rays. This can lead to premature ageing of the skin – making it wrinkles, dehydrated and even give you burns that are very similar to the sunburns.
In addition, your skin might get damaged, especially if you have sensitive skin. The skin is the largest organ in our bodies but the direct link to the outer world. Exposing it to UV radiation might weaken its power to protect the internal organs and can also cause the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibre.
Furthermore, it might weaken the immune system and this is self-explanatory – we will be subjected to the possibility of serious health problems. In the worst case scenario, skin cancer might happen even if you think that you have taken all the necessary precautions.
On the other hand, you have the chance to get the luscious tan you want with the application of self-tanning products. You can use spray tan, spray tanning mousse or any other product that will be applied on the surface of your skin and won’t have UV radiation.
Choose quality products for self-tanning so that you can be sure that they will hydrate your skin and invigorate it by giving it glow and firming. Such products are the Vani T tan mousse or custard whose formula is enriched with natural ingredients and infused with Aloe Vera and Phytol as well as Quandong, Australian Kakadu Plum extract and Vitamins A and E.
Never make sacrifices of your health just for the sake of beauty that doesn’t last. Always choose natural products that bring health to you and your body and help you expand your positive mindset and well-being. I agree that every procedure or in this case the act of lying in a tanning bed can be done right if the right precautions are taken the right way, but who can guarantee you that you won’t have complications after the sessions?
Also, there are many people (including myself) who have tried tanning beds and felt burning sensations all over the body after they took a shower at home and thought that it is not a big deal. But the reaction of our body is telling you otherwise. And those who choose to ignore these signs are the people who often suffer severe consequences.
