 The concept of stand up tanning booths has really gotten noticed over the past couple of years. Many people who have tried both tanning beds and tanning booths find they like the style of the tanning booth more.
They are appealing because less of the body is actually touching the tanning surface. Basically only the feet and the arms are touching anything. Since many people prefer to tan in the nude, they are nervous about the cleanliness of tanning beds. Some people have sensitive skin that breaks out from the plastic used in tanning beds as well as the cleaners use to keep them sanitary. Using a stand up tanning booth is a good way to avoid such issues. With a stand up tanning booth you are in an upright position for the entire tanning session. This allows you to get a very even tan, something that can be difficult for some people to obtain in a tanning bed. Many tanning salon owner’s really like this type of tanning equipment as it takes up less space. They can either have a smaller salon or offer more tanning rooms. The standard position is with the legs spread apart and the arms either over head or placed on bars inside the tanning booth. Some people find they aren’t able to relax in a tanning booth though as they are able to relax and even sleep for a few minutes in a tanning bed Most people find they are able to get a deeper tan in less time using a stand up tanning bed. This saves them both time and money because they are in the tanning booth less time and they don’t have to go in as often as they did when they were using tanning beds. Yet stand up tanning booths aren’t without their health risks because of the UV rays they emit. The biggest health risk of all tanning equipment used is skin cancer. There are no documented statistics that show a person has a higher or lower risk of skin cancer using a tanning booth instead of a tanning bed. Due to the amount of people concerned about developing skin cancer, sunless stand up tanning booths are now starting to emerge. They seem to be catching on fast and offer great results. They are designed very similar to a shower. The individual steps inside and waits a few minutes as a light mist of tanning color is evenly placed on the skin. Many people who have tried the sunless stand up tanning booths are very excited about the results. Even those individuals with very fair skin can get a great tan fast. To keep the tan looking great follow up sessions have to take place about every five days. Some of the drawbacks of sunless tanning is the individual doesn’t get the Vitamin D from UV rays as they do with bulb tanning booths. The color can also stain clothing if it isn’t fully dry before getting dressed again. The color can also fade quickly if a shower or swimming it involved within the first four hours of the color being administered. Yet these small inconveniences are nothing compared to the possibility of getting skin cancer. You will pay more for sunless tanning booth usage than an traditional tanning booth session, but it is the perfect solution if you want an instant tan for a special occasion. If you have a family history of skin cancer then this is the safest alternative for you. Testing on the color used in sunless tanning booths indicate that breathing the mist is not harmful and there won’t be an damage if it gets into the hair follicles.
