Rep Power: 0 | Re: Is This True? Like the sun, tanning beds emit the UV rays UV A, UV B, and UV C. The UV A form is the most detrimental, with the UV B variety being only slightly less harmful. By: Wayne Mercer Many people today are taking advantage of the technology that we have available. Many of us use things like PDA's, iPods, voice-dial cell phones, and even litter boxes that empty themselves. We use all of these wonderful products to make our daily living a little less hectic, and to be as efficient as we possibly can. Into this group one can also place the tanning bed. The Tanning Industry The tanning industry has evolved from a being a single bed in the corner of a gym, to full tanning salons offering full lines of products as well as many amenities you would normally find at a health spa type of establishment. At the time of the industry's birth, I myself wondered why someone would pay their hard earned money for something that they get for free, but then again look at the bottled water industry. I myself don't tan regularly in a bed or bake myself in the harsh rays of the sun. I am fortunate that I am already olive skinned (thanks, Dad!), and don't have to make the special effort to have a nice skin tone. There are tons of people that do tan, and for some very good reasons. RELATED ARTICLENatural Tanning: Reasons To Not Use Tanning Products! Most of your tanning can be done in the sun. Here are some reasons and great tips for tanning the natural way. [ Click here to learn more. ] I am here to give some insightful information about the both the risks and the benefits of tanning beds for those of you who use them on a regular basis. The truth of the matter is that all too often the lure of practicality and convenience take precedence in a decision, and the rationality of it is lost. Benefits Of Tanning Beds Tanning beds offer prospective users many benefits. Tanning in a tanning bed is, first of all, much more time efficient than using the huge nuclear reactor we call the sun.
A tanning bed also offers to the baked less radiation and significantly reduced ultraviolent rays. What many of the natural tanners don't realize is that the rays from the sun are radiation similar to that of any radioactive isotope. The radiation pierces through your skin, and then physically changes your very own DNA into a mutant form, which often times causes you to develop skin cancer. Even though tanning beds are safer in terms of negative possibilities, tanning beds do still bring some consequences. The staff of the particular salon should advise you about the maximum exposure time for the particular device you will use, the operation of emergency shut off controls, the requirement for protective eyewear, and the location of personal hygiene facilities. Tanning bed surfaces and eyewear must be sanitized after each use. I have known more than a few people who left the salon with crabs due to poor sanitation. Ouch! |

Did the writer even bother to research anything before writing this? |
