Re: Tanning bed vs the sun

There is really no comparison because the UV changes minute to minute outside vs. the constant controlled indoor tanning.

Hey Cam, I sent it back out today....

Re: Tanning bed vs the sun

DC as usual, concise and to the point, without the F words. Here is what I like to state to them: It really isn't possible to compare the exposures becuase there are so many variables outside like: time of day, pollution levels, cloud covers, time of year, etc, which all will have an affect on the amount of UV exposure you actually receive. With indoor tanning, we have known outputs of the lamps and a consistent exposure method. Hope this helps someone. Good luck. -Belvy

Re: Tanning bed vs the sun

Thanks Belvy, that helps a lot. She's a little old lady (probably 75) who loves her tanning beds. She doesn't want to spend a whole day in the sun and was just curious as to how much time she was saving by using the beds.

Re: Tanning bed vs the sun

Another piece of advice I give to my customers is for them to try to avoid being outside for more than an hour between 11am and 2pm during the summer when the sun is at it's most intense. But if they can't or don't want to avoid it, use a "good" sunscreen product and wear protective clothing (sleeves and pants) if possible. Oh yeah, and slather on the Skin System or Hempz at the end of the day. Good luck. -belvy
