There are many types of tanning beds made by different manufacturing companies that can cause a buyer’s confusion while choosing to buy from a distributor or buying online via the internet. There are a few things that a buyer should keep in mind while choosing a tanning bed and purchasing it.

Tanning beds are made by many different manufacturing companies. Each company has their own presentation, design, technology and outlook that could all be best for tanning. These tanning beds can all equally emit UV radiation. The important thing to look for is not the brand but to examine the equipment and the accessories that come with it to ensure it is a good fit for you. 

First of all there is a major difference between a tanning bed intended for a salon and a home tanning bed.

Initially ask yourself why you want to buy a tanning bed? It is better to be sure that one is a tanning enthusiast or you are tanning lover than going out and buying one and then  having the tanning bed in one corner of the house without anyone using it. The accessories are an important consideration when buying a tanning bed that suits one’s skin.
 
Here are some other factors to consider:

1. The first major accessory of the home tanning bed is the tanning bulb. Choose a bed with tanning lights or bulbs with higher UVA percentage and lower UVB. The bed will indeed slow the tanning process but the tan produced lasts longer. Consider the quantity of bulbs located on top and on the bench.

2. The second thing to remember is to consider the accessibility to the switches of the bed. The switches should be easily reached by the buyer so one can operate the tanning bed even while doing it on your own and while doing the tanning session.

3. Consider the home tanning bed’s dimension. A good dimension should be at least 75 inches by 35 inches. But your body size will determine what size fits you best.
 
4. Determine the quantity of fans. The fans are very important tanning bed accessory because an extremely hot condition can harm the skin and affect the condition and lifespan of the bulbs. A good tanning bed should at least have twelve fans inside.

5. Choose a tanning bed where the session can last up to twenty minutes only. It is not good to spend a long time under the tanning bed.

6. Make sure you get a purchase warranty provision. This is an assurance of the home tanning bed’s quality. A good warranty is good for a long period of time and implies a good standard and quality tanning bed. If they are not willing to give you a warranty, beware!

These are the necessary points to remember when purchasing a brand new bed. The high cost of a brand new tanning bed can put some off but you can save money in the long run as well as having the convenience of a home tanning session. And who can put a price on that?

So you’ve got yourself a new tanning bed or a new membership in a tanning salon but careful now, too much exposure is also harmful to your health. Sure you want your skin color to be at its best especially that getting a tan is now so convenient for you. However, tanning too frequently can also cause damage to your skin. So what exactly are the to do’s of indoor tanning?

Firstly, set your exposure schedule. Most salons set this as a rule for their customers before letting them use the tanning beds. If you’re an amateur tanner, start with short sessions working your way up to the maximum exposure time, known to be at twenty minutes. Also take into consideration your skin type. A more sensitive skin type may need less exposure time. The intake of medications such as antihistamines, tranquilizers or birth control pills may increase the skin’s sensitivity so you also have to consider this in setting your exposure time.

Secondly, do use safety goggles. UV rays do not only harm the skin but the eyes as well. The goggles would serve as protection to your eyes. You don’t want to end up with a gorgeous tan but with less eyesight, right? Also make sure that you’re goggles fit snugly—not to loose that they keep falling out from your face nor too tight that your eyes feel restrained. If you are an avid tanning salon user, make sure that the goggles they are lending to the customers are sterilized for hygienic purposes.

You do know by now that tanning beds create a tan on our skin through the emission of the UV rays. Having said this, make sure that you disclose your medical conditions to the tanning salon and ask permission from your physician if it is okay for you to use tanning beds. Persons afflicted with lupus or diabetes are not the ideal candidates for indoor tanning as their conditions can be aggravated by exposure to UV rays.

Also, avoid being a slave of your tanning beds. There is such a disease called “tanorexia” in which a person feels she’s too pale even if she does not appear so. The person tends to overdose himself with UV exposure in the tanning beds until she feels satisfied. This is a very serious disease because a simple wanting to get tan now transforms into an addiction which can cost one his life. It is, therefore, important to have control over yourself and value the opinion of your family and friends for you not to fall into the perils of excessive tanning.

Now that you have been presented with the indoor tanning guidelines, all you have to do is follow them and you can now beautify yourself and get that dream color you’ve always wanted. May this better-looking you translate into a brighter outlook in life and stronger self-confidence.

Over the years tanning beds have become very popular. The desire to have a great looking tan has always been popular among many people but still they want to avoid the dangerous exposure to the sun for a long period time.

A good tan is considered a fashion trend nowadays. When using a tanning bed it is very important to note the risks and the possible effects of these beds. The tan produced by the bed is not so different from the tan achieved when sunbathing on a beach. This is the reason why knowing how to use the tanning bed correctly is also important.

Using a tanning bed maybe simple to some but the knowledge how to achieve a good tan by using the tanning bed is another thing. One’s use should be the proper way and the safe way.

Tanning beds can offer the benefit of having a tan which looks natural as if provided by the sun’s rays. One can also avoid being exposed to harmful UVB and UVA rays by using the bed.

The tanning bed gives a controlled condition and environment while emulating the work of the sun. The tanning bed also replicates the UVB and UVA rays of the sun which gives the golden tan look. In tanning salons, the owners and the assistant can help the customer achieve the desired tan by controlling the exposure and the duration of exposure.

This is the main difference of the tanning bed to the sun. The sun cannot be controlled.

One may think that using the tanning bed is quite simple but the process is actually intricate. One should start using the tanning bed by developing a base tan first. This is the first step that is is under the surface of the skin. The base tan will take an estimated eight tanning sessions to achieve but this depends on one’s skin pigmentation as well. This is the reason why the employees of a tanning salon should be trained sufficiently. They should know the right way of using the bed particularly how long a customer can and need to stay on the bed.

Persons with fair skin tone should actually limit the exposure to the UV rays by the use of a tanning bed. After the base tan has developed it is important to use the tanning bed little by little to achieve the desired tanned effect. The light used in these beds is different from the sun’s UV rays. The light or rays for tanning beds are generally concentrated.

It is also important to wear protection for the eyes and to put sufficient amounts of tanning skin lotions when using the tanning bed. Our eyes are very sensitive to the UV rays or light. The sunglasses are not enough, there is a market for goggles designed and made specifically for protection while having a tan on tanning beds.

A moisturized skin will tan faster and better and this is the reason why people using tanning beds should apply lotions on their skin liberally. It helps in slowing down the process of exfoliation. Having a good lotion or moisturizer is also an essential thing to keep in mind.

Tyrosine is also another consideration worth noting. Tyrosine can help maintain the level of melanin for a longer time. It is always best to consult a specialist before doing the tanning procedure.

The remaining parts should be in good condition for the duration of the warranty. One also needs to phone the company if ever any of the parts needs repair. Never do it by yourself.

Looking for Replacements

Friedrich Wolff, who was a scientist in Germany, created the tanning bed in 1978. He later brought it to North American countries and it became famous in the eighties. Tanning has suddenly become very convenient for those who love to have a good tan all year round. They don’t have to spend a lot of time under the sun and its harmful rays.

The UV lights made for the tanning beds are very similar to the UV light which the sun emits and this means that both lights carry the same amount of risk. To avoid the harm that tanning beds can cause it is best to have a clear understanding how they work and the proper use. One should not abuse the tanning beds too. The right use of the tanning beds can really develop the perfect bronze or olive tan one long for.

All of the traditional tanning beds contain lamps that give off the radiation of UVA and UVB rays. The UVB light or rays are responsible for the stimulation of the skin’s natural pigment called melanin however even minimal exposure to the UVB light or rays can cause skin burns and a vast exposure can even lead to cancer of the skin. UVA rays are responsible for oxidizing the pigment that produces the tan color which is of course the melanin. Most of the rays coming from the tanning bed’s bulbs or lamps are UVA rays.

In a traditional tanning bed, one must first develop the base tan for an estimated thirty minutes time and should be repeated three times or five times each week lasting up to four weeks. One can maintain the color by doing the tanning session for three times per week.

There are tanning beds which have higher pressure. These are very different from the conventional ones. The high pressured tanning beds uses UVA rays only minus the UVB rays. The “high pressure” term pertains to the condition inside the bulbs which are made from quartz. The high air pressure makes the bulbs filter out the entire UVB rays the bed produces. This results in a deeper, quicker and a tan which lasts longer.

The proper use of a high pressured tanning bed is just the same as the traditional bed except it takes a shorter time. One should develop the base tan initially which will last for up to twelve minutes or less. This should be repeated three or five times more. One can have the maintenance for as much as three sessions every month.

The best recommendation for anyone who wants to purchase tanning beds at a wholesale price is to directly go to the manufacturing company itself. There are over three arrangements that the manufacturer can give the buyer. It is up to the buyer to decide which of the following arrangements can suit the capital he has best and which arrangement he can earn more profits.

1. The manufacturer can of course remove the commission of the retailers and the wholesalers to the interested buyer. They can also certainly give a good discount basing it on the quantity and model of the tanning bed. The discount they can give can really become a nice bargain for the buyer.

2. There are other manufacturers who can also let the owners of the tanning salons to sell the tanning products they also carry. The buyer also benefits from the sale of each tanning product.

3. The manufacturing company can cut off a huge percentage provided that the buyer will do some promotion for their brand of tanning beds like displaying some posters of their brand and other related articles at the salon which the buyer has.

Another option instead of going directly to the manufacturing companies is to shop from the online websites and other distress sales. The online websites usually have lesser overhead price because they don’t have a warehouse to stock the tanning beds. They give the order to the distributor or the manufacturer and they ship the tanning bed to the customer directly. The huge discount is possible especially for buyers of tanning beds at a wholesale price due to the cheaper overhead costs and the absence of a second party.

A distress sale can also be a good way of purchasing tanning beds at a wholesale price. Distress sales are usually made by owners of a tanning salon who can be buying new beds for their salon or due to the salon’s closure. There is some convenience of selling the whole lot of tanning beds to a single wholesale buyer than to many individuals. They also give a good discount to the wholesale buyer.

There are retailers who also arrange a wholesale agreement. However the price they usually give is not as good as the manufacturer’s price. Buying from a retailer can be a good deal if the manufacturer’s warehouse is situated far away from the buyer. The shipping charge for a manufacturer could be expensive that’s why the huge discount can also offset the delivery expenses. This can make for an unattractive deal with a manufacturer.
