 Individuals with fair skin often find it hard to tan in natural sunlight. They often burn and turn red instead of a golden brown. They may have better luck using tanning beds. For individuals with fair skin to get a great tan using one, it is necessary to use a quality tanning lotion to help penetrate the layers of skin. It is also a good idea to only tan for about five minutes each day.
Individuals with fair skin should also be very careful around tanning beds with new bulbs. They will be more powerful and the person could end up sunburned. As a precaution for individuals with fair skin most tanning salons post a notice when new bulbs have been installed. You should cut your tanning session down by a couple of minutes for the first couple weeks afterwards. There are a few models available with more controls designed for individuals with fair skin. Tropic tan offers tanning beds that are as different at the types of skin individuals have. This is a great brand of tanning bed to look into if you are planning to get one to use at home. Look for those tanning beds that offer more UVB rays than UVA rays. This will help you develop a better tan. However you need to make sure your exposure times are very limited per session as too much UVB rays can result in a serious sunburn. Stand up tanning booths generally offer more UVB rays than tanning beds where you have to lie down. If you have fair skin this type of model might be the best option for you. Keep in mind that stand up tanning booths will get you tanned much faster. Therefore you should cut your tanning time in half compared to what you would do in a laying down tanning bed.
