A tanned, golden skin is always sexy and enviable! There is no doubt about that. But how can we achieve that without direct sun exposure?
This article will introduce several available methods and will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of each one of them.
Tanning Beds
This is by far the most popular method for artificial tanning. Since each person’s skin is different, it is highly advisable to ask a professional for clear indications regarding the recommended exposure time and wavelength.
For some people, a 3 minutes session is more than enough for the initial exposure, while others can safely start with 5-7 minutes sessions. 10 to 12 minutes sessions can be taken only after the skin achieves a particular tanning level. However, make sure to always use UV sunscreen.
Advantages:
• Relatively low prices.
• Intense and long-term tanning after just a couple of sessions.
• Can be used at any time of the year.
Disadvantages:
• If abused, it may trigger cancer and other skin complications.
