Why Tan in Different Tanning Beds

Posted by Ron Wilson in tanning regimenrotate tanning bedsindoor tanning

Bed hopping is (depending on where your loyalties lie) generally frowned upon in society.

However it's perfectly fine to do so in the tanning salon industry. In fact, it's encouraged and done without judgment of the moral character of the person who does it. Bed hopping is the norm and is highly recommended.

There are three great reasons why you should tan in a different bed--which does sound better than bed-hopping.

So why should you tan in a different bed?

1. Tanning beds typically have lamps which emit differing ratios of UVA and UVB light.

And the differing ratios do have a dramatic effect on tanning.

According to an article in Yahoo News from last year, the ''normal beds'' most likely have regular bulbs with more UV-B and they do not tan you deeply. As a result, your tan will fade more quickly than with beds with more UV-A bulbs. A different bed may have more UV-A rays which go deeper into the skin. Your tan will last longer, especially if you keep your skin moisturized. All salons are different and offer different brands of bulbs. It's wise to ask the owner what the ratio is of UV-A/UV-B in the different beds, what kind of bulbs they use and how often they change them. This information is vital in maintaining your tan. By rotating, you can take your tan to the next level.

2. Many beds have different acrylic shapes.
The acrylic is what the tanner lays on while tanning. During the tanning process, a person who lays on the acrylic will have pressure points at certain parts of their body, say, the shoulder blades. While laying on the acrylic, these natural pressure points inhibit the blood flow in that area, which means that part of the body won't tan well. By using another bed, the acrylic might have a slightly different shape and result in different pressure points elsewhere. By rotating beds your pressure points will tan along with the rest of your body.

3. Rotate by using a stand up booth.

This allows the tanner to get a fuller, all-round tan. If the tanner uses the stand up once or twice, this helps ensure a complete tan with parts of the body that don't normally see too much tanning like underneath the arms. Stand up booths have handles in convenient areas which allow you to comfortable hold your arms up for the full session. The arms are raised up and there are no pressure points. The UV rays get go all over.
