The rules for visiting a solarium are not just instructions. Often, tan lovers neglect basic safety rules, putting beauty first.
Having perfect dark skin is wonderful, but don’t forget about your health.
Taking care of your health is the most important aspect; it is more important than beauty, image, and the opinions of others.
When you find yourself in a solarium for the first time, it is worth remembering 3 important rules that apply to both women and men.
General rules for visiting a solarium for the first time:
Rules | Explanation | Possible consequences |
The first time you should sunbathe for no more than 3 minutes | The body needs to get used to new conditions, the effects of rays on the skin; for those with dark skin, the time can be increased to 5 minutes | If it turns out that your skin does not tan at all, three minutes will not be enough to cause serious burns. |
A long first session will lead to burns that will ruin your appearance for a long time and cause discomfort.
Be sure to use protection for your eyes and breast areolas. If the tanning salon does not provide breast stickers and glasses, take care of this in advance: you can buy them at the pharmacy. Ultraviolet rays penetrate the skin of the eyelids, having a negative effect on the lens.But the areolas around the nipples quickly darken under the influence of rays, which can have negative consequences for health
People with moles should consult a doctor before visiting a solarium. We are talking about large moles that can grow, change their color and size. If such moles are present, they must be shown to a doctor, regardless of whether you visit a solarium.Ultraviolet light can trigger the development of a tumor if the condition of the mole is conducive to this
Few people will actually go to the clinic, make an appointment, and wait in line to get permission from the doctor.
Types of solariums
There are different types of solariums. The division occurs into 4 types:
- Vertical.
- Horizontal.
- Sedentary.
- Turbo solarium.
People with dark skin tones have to tan for up to 20 minutes to get the desired result.
The disadvantage of a horizontal solarium is that you have to be in full contact with the bottom glass; many people find this unhygienic. In places of contact, the skin may tan unevenly: spots will remain.
Another disadvantage is the discomfort from a confined space. Claustrophobia is a common illness today.
Vertical types of solariums eliminate body contact with glass. This solves the issue of hygiene and the appearance of white spots.
The disadvantages include the uneven distribution of rays in this position: the legs get less tan, and the power of the bulbs ensures maximum saturation of the body with ultraviolet radiation.
Turbo solariums are powerful devices that include many functions:
- Vibromassage.
- Aromatherapy.
- Audio system.
- Lifting device.
- Cooling system.
- Button to call staff.
- Timer.
Such booths provide excellent tanning results and ensure client comfort during the process.
The process itself is faster, since the power of the lamps in such a device is the most advanced when compared with other varieties.
The lamps in seated devices are quite powerful, given their directionality, the procedure will not take much time.
Is it possible to visit a solarium during menstruation and during pregnancy?
For women, there is a ban on visiting the solarium during menstruation. This is due to the effect of ultraviolet radiation on the body.
Possible consequences of visiting a solarium during menstruation:
- The pain will increase.
- Nausea.
- Dizziness.
- Increase in the number of discharges.
- Menstrual irregularities
- Allergic reaction.
Overheating during menstruation can have more serious consequences. Bleeding may begin. The situation will require immediate hospitalization.
During pregnancy, it is better to tan naturally. A shock dose of ultraviolet radiation can harm the baby and cause a deterioration in the health of the expectant mother.
How long does it take for a tan to appear?
The average time for a visible tan to appear on the skin is 3 hours. When visiting a solarium, this time is sharply reduced due to the high concentration of ultraviolet radiation.
The onset of the desired color depends on the type of skin, its sensitivity, and the body’s ability to produce melanin.
Important! People with dark skin will see the first result immediately after the first session.
Those with fair skin will not see results until the fourth or fifth session. Their skin will adapt to the effects of the rays, this will take time.
Benefits and harms
The procedure will only harm people with very fair skin. It is called type 1 skin. Any exposure to ultraviolet light will cause redness and burns. Such people are prohibited from sunbathing.
The benefits of a solarium are expressed in improving human health:
- Metabolic processes improve.
- Immunity increases.
- The mood lifts.
- Fatigue goes away.
- The body resists stress better.
- The condition of people suffering from rickets and psoriasis improves.
- Muscle pain goes away.
- Winter depression due to lack of sunlight completely recedes.
I really want to tan
If you really want to, then you can, but...
But at the same time, you should be aware of photoaging and the risk of skin cancer, which increases significantly even when sunbathing in a solarium.
If you are white-skinned, burn easily and have a lot of moles on your skin, any type of tanning is strictly contraindicated for you, whether in a solarium or in the sun. The only thing you can afford is a tan in the middle zone in moderate (evening) sun.
Unfortunately, in the CIS countries, early diagnosis of melanoma is extremely poor. While 95% of melanoma cases abroad are diagnosed in the early stages, here, alas, only 10%. Melanoma is skin cancer, it’s hard to describe how serious it is.
To reduce the risk of negative consequences, try to sunbathe in very small doses, with a break of several days, and be sure to protect your skin from burns.
The fact is that I have long dreamed of going to a solarium, but I am very shy because I am a man, after all, our country is puritanical, in general, have you seen men in solariums and does this shock you?

Of course I saw it more than once. It didn’t shock me, although once I saw a middle-aged guy there, rather poorly dressed (they often travel on the subway) - and it was not clear why he needed a solarium.
A friend’s allergy to cold went away after a solarium.
It's not the country that's puritanical, it's your head
My husband goes with me. He likes it, I don't mind)
The main thing is don’t get stuck there for half an hour removing the remaining tanning oil with wet wipes and nothing bad will come to anyone’s mind.
I myself have seen hundreds of men in the solarium, young guys who are helped with acne on their backs, very tanned, who apparently just feel sorry for losing their tan from vacation in winter... and there are many different reasons
My husband and I go there, there have never been any prejudices.

Well, I'm dark myself
I think this is not normal for men. It's like getting a pedicure and using body cream.
no, it's not shocking. I myself have a normal attitude towards this and have not seen any shock from others either. Men often come to the salon where I go to the solarium to sunbathe. No one points a finger at them or opens their mouths in surprise)
In general, everything is fine, author. If you want to sunbathe, go and sunbathe in peace. A beautiful tan is beautiful not only for women, but also for men.
An acquaintance who is approaching 50, once with me, saw how a young guy came out of the solarium in full parade. He actually stuttered and asked if I saw it? I felt happy. She said that this is normal now. He refused to believe it and even went up to the girl at the reception to clarify, “Do men come to you seriously?”
and when a guy lies on the beach sunbathing, is he also homosexual? what nonsense.
This is absolutely normal for everyone. And even for the guy from the metro, this is not a very expensive procedure. Maybe he needed vitamin D.
I once went into the solarium to sunbathe, and there was a girl waiting in line in the next booth, and it was spring, she was dressed so lightly, well, I got excited and jerked off so sweetly in the solarium, sperm was already running down the wall of the booth. So don't be afraid, man, go.
I think this is not normal for men. It's like getting a pedicure and using body cream.
Our men go for colon hydrotherapy (even more often than their aunts) and for waxing of intimate areas. are you worried about the solarium)
First of all, it's wildly harmful. secondly, it’s just funny and embarrassing for men, especially adults.
World
I think this is not normal for men. It's like getting a pedicure and using body cream.
a man must be hairy and smelly))))
I am 20 years old. I go to the solarium. But not often and only so that the muscle relief is clearly visible - I do bodybuilding. There is no opportunity to go to the beach often, and there are solariums on every corner.
my boyfriend goes with me sometimes, he has problem skin (oily), it helps. Well, it also gets a tan at the same time)))
I am 21 years old, I go to the Solarium. And I recommend it to everyone. Harmful? - Overdose is harmful. It is harmful to go to a non-professional. Are you embarrassed that others will see you? - Spit on other people's opinions! Imagine that this solarium is a small piece of Sochi)))
men1 13 gok1v 1 I want to go to solarium1
sorry for the stupid question)) should a man go to the solarium without panties or should he defend himself somehow?)
A friend in shorts is sunbathing and says his penis is burning
I think this is not normal for men. It's like getting a pedicure and using body cream.
Don’t bother at all, there’s nothing fagot here. I go to the solarium and I like it. Moreover, I play sports and the muscle definition is better visible. And in general, it’s just nice to look beautiful. Moreover, my girlfriend really likes it, she generally has a blast from my tanned body. And forget about the opinions of the surrounding degenerates and morons, a cultured person will always understand, without any leftist thoughts. Have a beautiful tan everyone!
sorry for the stupid question)) should a man go to the solarium without panties or should he defend himself somehow?)
I'm putting on a sock. Without protection you will burn the organ
And the panties will leave a white stripe from the stomach to the legs. The tan turns out ugly.
Everything is harmful, and the solarium is no different from the sunny beach of Sochi. Only there is no sea
Life in general is a harmful thing, people die from it.
Fine. Those who are against it are notorious *****. What difference does it make whether you fry a carcass on the beach or in a closed cabin?
Don't listen to anyone - go. Beautiful skin color, acne dries out, skin rashes disappear, mood improves. Even colds are cured faster. The main thing is not to overdo it. 2 times a week for 10 minutes. Less doesn't make much sense.
And run after a mammoth with a club
I go often. like!
I go, the main thing is to put everything in place, peel it off and grease the hole with a cross so that everything lies evenly
I think this is not normal for men. It's like getting a pedicure and using body cream.
