A recent study has revealed that a large number of teens are into using indoor tanners. The study aimed to determine if teens were using safe practices while tanning. It also determined that a large number of teens were not aware of the precautions that need to be taken and the risks involved with indiscriminate indoor or outdoor tanning.
Indoor tanning booths have been designed to reduce the hazards of tanning in the sun. This however does not imply that indoor tanning is completely safe. Indoor tan booths produce the same UV radiation that is provided by the sun. Not every indoor tanning salon is run professionally and maintained well.
Make sure that you take the following precaution when you get yourself tanned indoors.
1. Go in for tanning yourself only after you are 18. Until that age, your skin is not mature enough to be exposed to UV radiation.
2. Try to avoid topless or naked tanning.
3. Repeated exposure of the UVB or UVA rays may lead to skin cancer or premature aging of skin.
4. Use the moisturizing lotions based on either an SPF or DHA formulae as these lotions moisturize your skin and reduce the time taken to get a tan.
5. Consult your dermatologist before you get a tan.
