Tanning beds with less exposure of time than sunlight keep an accurate track of the time so that a sunburn doesn't occur. The eyes prone to damage are normally protected from the ultraviolet radiation in a tanning booth wearing sunglasses since keeping the eyes closed is not sufficient.
Get a check up done with your pharmacist or dermatologist before using a tanning bed. There are some drugs that can react to ultraviolet radiation.
After you have decided to use the tanning beds, be sure to follow certain measures:
1. Avoid over doing it, better use it for short time intervals.
2. Always wear eye protection since closing the eyes or sunglasses or cotton balls is not enough, take the goggles made specially for tanning routines.
3. Try not to have any direct contact with the bulbs.
4. Take the help of an attendant.
5. Massage a proper lotion.
The type of your skin is very important since the tanning ability of a person is genetically controlled and no alteration takes place. Before you go for using a tanning booth you should consult a doctor.
