FAQ
| 1. Is there a difference between indoor
tanning and outdoor tanning? |
| UV light is the same whether it comes from the sun or from
UV lamps. When you tan indoors, your body develops a tan the
same way as when you tan outdoors. The amount of UV light received
from a tanning bed is regulated and your exposure is controlled.
Increasing your exposure time gradually will assure a tan to
the degree desired while minimizing the chance of a sunburn. |
| |
| 2. Can I sunbathe immediately after I go tanning? |
| No. You should not go tanning immediately before or after
considerable time in the sun to avoid overexposure. Using
a tanning bed right after you have received significant UV exposure
will only increase your chances of burning and/or damaging your
skin. |
| |
| 3. Why do I have to wear eye protection when tanning
indoors? |
| To avoid damage to your eyes caused by UV light your eyelids
are not considered adequate protection from UV light.
Federal laws require that every indoor tanner wear protective
eyewear that meets the minimum FDA standards. |
