Tanning scheme in a solarium

Tanning in a solarium is practically no different from natural tanning, because the pigmentation process is carried out in the same way, so the result, both in a solarium and in open sunlight, will be natural. The durability of a tan obtained in a solarium and in the open sun will be the same.

In order to tan in a solarium, a personal tanning program is drawn up in each specific case, taking into account the client’s skin type. It should be noted that incorrectly selected cosmetics for solariums (protective ointments and creams) lead to the fact that instead of the desired sexual shade, peeling and redness, “flaky” areas, age spots, and often various allergic reactions may occur on the skin. Therefore, in order to avoid such unpleasant consequences of improper tanning, you should definitely use protective equipment specially designed for this before and after the procedure in the solarium. For those with extremely dry skin, creams should contain moisturizing ingredients.

The duration of one session in the solarium ranges from several minutes to twenty. In general, it is recommended to take no more than two tanning courses in a solarium, with each course ranging from fifteen to twenty sessions every other day. Of course, such figures are approximate; the type of solarium, the client’s skin condition and many other factors are usually taken into account.

Rules for tanning in a solarium.
Before performing a procedure in a solarium, you must visit a doctor and conduct an examination for contraindications.

Before going to the solarium, the skin must be cleansed of decorative cosmetics and perfumes, since all this is not intended for tanning and may contain substances that prevent tanning. In addition, they render acrylic glass of solariums unusable. That is why it is important to use cosmetics specially designed for solariums (cream and lip balm), the composition of which consists entirely of natural ingredients and is cleaned to the maximum from “excess substances” (photosensitizing), which protects the skin from drying out and contributes to the formation of a beautiful shade.

Two to two and a half hours before the procedure in the solarium, it is recommended to take a shower with soap; it is not recommended to wash immediately before the procedure, or take a shower with soft liquid foam instead of soap in order to prevent the destruction of the protective fatty film. Otherwise, during the session you can get burned or simply dry out the skin. For the same reasons, it is not recommended to do hair removal before tanning in a solarium.

Ultraviolet radiation in a solarium is dangerous for vision; it can cause retinal burns, cataracts or night blindness. Therefore, during the session you should use special dark glasses that protect the eyelids and do not create shaded areas on the face. Contact lenses generally need to be removed during the procedure, as this also harms the eyes. The distance between the ultraviolet lamps and the body is about thirty centimeters.

During tanning, it is necessary to protect not only your eyes, but also your hair, since the procedure dries and destroys the hair structure, as a result of which it loses its shine and becomes thin and brittle. Usually the head is covered with a scarf or a cotton hat during the session.

After thirty years of age, it is forbidden to sunbathe with unprotected breasts, so you must wear a cotton bra during the tanning session, or use special pads.

At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to take a shower using a gel for sensitive skin, and then apply a moisturizing gel or lotion to the skin. It is also worth drinking a cup of herbal fortified tea or juice rich in vitamin C (for example, carrot juice).

It is worth noting that you should not strive to acquire a chocolate skin tone in one visit to the solarium. Proper tanning in a solarium is, first of all, a competent regime in terms of session time and course completion. On average, to acquire a stable shade, it is necessary to carry out from four to six procedures with a one-day break between each. In the future, to maintain a tan, you can visit the solarium once or twice a week. But, as a rule, the number of sessions is prescribed individually, taking into account the skin type.

The time spent in a solarium booth is also determined taking into account the type of skin, the state of its pigmentation and the number and power of lamps. The first tanning session lasts on average no more than three to five minutes, later this time increases to ten to twenty minutes.

A session in a vertical solarium lasts no more than five minutes; on average, six to eight procedures are needed every other day to tan and achieve a natural and rich tan.

Determination of skin type.

Duration of a solarium session.

The above tables help determine your skin type and possible reaction to tanning in a solarium. Owners of the first skin type are not recommended to sunbathe at all; it is better to use a self-tanner.

Since human skin varies in thickness and reacts differently to ultraviolet radiation, when identifying areas of increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, it is necessary to reduce the duration of tanning sessions. If burns occur, even if all precautions are taken, you should take a break for several days and then visit the solarium again.

It is important to remember that when tanning in a solarium, as when taking medications, moderation is important - you should not rush to extremes. Sun rays, when dosed correctly, have a beneficial effect on our health, helping to cure some diseases. It has been scientifically proven that sessions in a solarium have a positive effect on the state of our psyche; together with the sun's rays, we are charged with positive emotions.

Criteria for choosing a solarium.
It is better if the solarium is equipped with low pressure lamps (mostly modern models) and has a tunnel shape, as this increases the tanning area by twenty percent. Such solariums are designed for owners of any skin type. The risk of getting a burn in such a solarium is zero, due to the balanced combination of UVA and UVB rays. The duration of the procedure in such a solarium ranges from six minutes to half an hour.

Cabins and sunbeds must be treated with products that are harmless to the body after each visitor takes “sunbathing”.

The freshness of the lamps is of great importance, that is, the less time has passed since they were replaced, the better the result will be after the session. The average lamp life is 400-500 hours.

Good solariums must be equipped with special lamps for tanning the face, otherwise the nose will turn red after the procedure.

The cabins must have good ventilation, in particular they must be equipped with a fan at the “head end” of the capsule.

Reliable automatic system for solarium operation.

The presence of a specialist with a medical education who, after the examination, will draw up an individual schedule for visiting the solarium and the duration of the procedures.

Contraindications for tanning in a solarium.

1. Sensitive baby skin.
2. Skin diseases.
3. Excessive tendency to moles.
4. Suspicion of oncology or the presence of cancer.
5. The presence of endometriosis, myomatous nodules, mastopathy.
6. Hypertension, liver disease.
7. Pregnancy and lactation period.
8. Menstruation.
9. Taking medications, as they can provoke allergic reactions to ultraviolet radiation.

Although aristocratic pale skin is back in trend, there are plenty of people who want to acquire a seductive shade of bronze. Therefore, in the summer, you can often see the bodies of uncles and aunts on public beaches, who fanatically expose certain parts of their bodies to the sun. There are also opponents of such chaotic solar radiation, preferring filtered rays from solarium lamps. And what should you do if you can’t wait to become a mulatto chocolate girl before everyone else, when summer hasn’t really arrived yet? In general, tanning in a solarium is a cool and convenient thing! Or not? We need to figure it out.

The influence of skin type on tanning

So you go and go to the solarium, you spend a lot of money for every minute of time spent in it, but the result is somehow not convincing. But why then do others have the effect “obviously”? Do you really need to stay there longer or is it better to coat yourself with oil to speed up the effect? The difference in the rate of melanin production (it is what gives the skin its seductive “bronze”), even after visiting the same solarium, depends directly on the skin type.

Tanning in a solarium

Often tanning salon workers can advise you on pressing the “Start” button and the lever that controls the volume of the music. But regarding an adequate assessment of the type of skin and the optimal course of tanning, indicating the time of one session. Therefore, it is worth knowing the nuances of your skin in advance so that you can go tanning in full information readiness. What if you come across an incompetent worker?

Making a general classification according to skin types, we can distinguish 4 main ones:

1. Celtic. Oh, this skin type is picky! To go to a solarium, you need to cover yourself from head to toe with a product with the maximum degree of protection or completely avoid tanning, even in a solarium, even in the direct rays of the sun;
2. Nordic. No matter how much you would like to tan to a “golden” state, this is a very difficult and lengthy process. It’s easy to burn, and it’s easy to wash off your tan too. The priority is gradual, systematic sunbathing, a little at a time, preferably with the use of special protective cosmetics;
3. Central European. Tanning is easy! Removing the bronze tone is as easy as acquiring it. But there will still be problems with a beautiful tan, because it does not apply evenly;
4. Mediterranean. Owners of such skin have no obstacles to getting a beautiful tan. “Bronze” appears evenly and lasts a long time. But you still need to protect yourself from excess ultraviolet radiation. Especially, it is worth paying attention to the skin around the eyes (just wear special safety glasses) and moles (cover them with special stickers).

Determining skin type

The table for determining skin type does not indicate gray eye color, since eyes of this color can be present in all color types.

Different skin types – different effects. Therefore, you should not envy the “mulatto” women coming out of the solarium, but simply evaluate your skin sensibly and tan correctly.

Cheat sheet

A tanning salon worker may not have knowledge about the nuances of tanning for a particular client. By determining your skin type, you can predict your reaction to tanning and the number of sessions that will need to be spent in a solarium.

Table 1. Reaction to tanning depending on skin type and the required number of sessions/time for optimal results.

Contraindications and possible consequences

Well, I signed up for a solarium, bought cream, and decided on my skin type. Are you sure you forgot nothing? Or maybe there are some health problems? Here's what can influence the decision to visit a solarium, and it's not just about health:

1. It is not recommended for children and adolescents to be exposed to lamp radiation;
2. forget about the solarium during the “interesting situation”, “these days” and breastfeeding;
3. Avoid exposure to ultraviolet radiation at the slightest suspicion of oncology, especially skin cancer;
4. Is your whole body covered in moles and new ones appear from time to time? Then you shouldn't go to the solarium. This also applies to ladies who have pronounced skin pigmentation;
5. It is not recommended to visit “artificial ultraviolet rays” for liver problems or high blood pressure;
6. when undergoing any medication course of treatment, do not visit the solarium, as this can provoke an allergic reaction;
7. It is not recommended to visit a solarium after aggressive facial peeling, as well as after laser resurfacing, hair removal, etc.

There is no need to disregard your health, especially for the sake of a tan. After all, ignoring basic contraindications can backfire in the form of worsening skin diseases, high blood pressure, etc. Excessive use of artificial tanning is also harmful, since a beautiful shade can very quickly change to a dark, unattractive brown, and the skin will undergo photoaging.

Preparation for the procedure

Going to a solarium is not just a cosmetic procedure. For some, this session may become a “starting point” for the development of hidden diseases, so to be sure, it is recommended to visit a doctor and consult with him about the advisability of such a tan.

In order for the tan to lie evenly, not cause harm to the body, and to make visiting the solarium a joy, you need to be well prepared for the procedure. It concerns not only the preparation of the body, but also the choice of a tanning studio.

A few preparatory steps that should not be ignored:

Stage 1. Choosing a studio. Inspect the conditions in the studio, namely: the cleanliness of the premises, the presence of safety glasses, stickers, special disposable slippers and caps, sachets with cream (even if they are paid, their presence is a sign of care for clients). It is also worth finding out about the replacement date of the lamps (old lamps are harmful to the skin), and finding out the power of ultraviolet lamps.

Stage 2. Choosing a solarium. Do you want to lie down and sunbathe? Choose horizontal. Do you like to dance? You can choose a vertical one (often the booths have speakers and invigorating music).

Stage 3. Necessary accessories. If cream caps can be purchased directly at the tanning studio, then you don’t have to worry. When choosing a studio without this service, you should take care of the necessary attributes in advance.

Necessary accessories for a safe stay in the solarium

Stage 4. Preparing “yourself”. Do you want a beautiful and intense tan over time? Don't forget to prepare your skin: it should be clean and free of dead cells. Therefore, it would be a good idea to take a shower with a gel scrub a couple of hours before visiting the solarium. It is not recommended to do hair removal before a tanning session, since the skin has already experienced some “stress” and there is a risk of getting burned. If the lady’s age has already exceeded the mark of 30+, then she should cover her breasts with breast pads or sunbathe in an “Angelica” type bust.

If all these stages have already been completed, then you can safely go to the solarium and enjoy a tanning session. But even here there are rules.

Tanning rules

To ensure the safety of visiting a certain type of solarium, you should take into account the nuances and adhere to certain rules. The first and one of the important things is to take off your jewelry! They heat up and really burn the skin! Also, a solarium is not a place for people with claustrophobia.

In a horizontal solarium

Lie down and rest – what’s not to do with relaxation? And the solarium will do its job and give the skin a beautiful chocolate shade. But there are nuances:

1. make sure the surface of the solarium is clean and, if necessary, clean it yourself;
2. change your tanning position at least a couple of times per session: spread your arms wider, rotate your legs and arms, as the tan may lie unevenly. If possible, roll over from your back to your stomach or vice versa.

Typically, horizontal tanning beds have lower wattage lamps, so tanning may take longer.

Horizontal solarium

In a vertical solarium

The device is similar in appearance to a shower cabin; it is more hygienic than a horizontal one. But even here there are some rules for its use:

1. do not turn on the lamps until you have completed all preparations and closed the door;
2. stand in the center of the booth so that the radiation intensity is the same for all parts of the body;
3. use the handles at the top by raising your arms and holding them. Then the tan will affect the inside of the arms, and the arms themselves will not shade the sides of the body.

If it gets too hot, press the stop button at the top of the booth and stop tanning. Otherwise, you can get heatstroke and dizziness (as a consequence).

Vertical solarium

In the turbo solarium

The effect of a turbo solarium can be similar to a sunburn. It increases the intensity of tanning in one session, so “overexposure” in it can affect the quality of the tan and the effect of radiation (ultraviolet) on the body. But don't count on an instant tan. Uniformity is the key to a favorable effect.

Vertical solariums with a “turbo” system guarantee quick tanning and high-quality “airflow” that can be turned off. The “turbo” function allows you to cool the air heated by the lamps and thereby provide more comfort than a simple solarium.

In fact, the rules of conduct in a turbine unit are similar to those that exist for vertical solariums.

Security measures

Natural rays of the sun are not one bit more beneficial than artificial ones. Quite the contrary. Sunscreens only partially reduce the harmful effects, preventing the appearance of skin diseases. But it's not just them.

Protective cosmetics

Using cosmetics to protect the skin from radiation intensity is one of the basic rules for visiting a salon with a solarium. The creams provide proper care and a light tan after each session. Among the assortment, you can choose exactly the product that suits your specific skin type.

Safe time in the solarium

Knowing the power of lamps in a solarium and your skin type, you can find out the approximate permissible time of exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The duration of sessions may vary by a couple of minutes more or less from the figures given. It all depends on the number of previous visits to the solarium. You can find out the approximate time spent in a solarium according to your skin type from the table above.

The effect of proper tanning in a solarium, before and after photos

How long does a tan from a solarium last?

Different skin types also tan differently. For example, dark skin without constant support can “keep” a tan for about two weeks, while lighter skin requires regular tanning (at least once a week).

Tanning “fixers” also help: special creams, milk, etc. It is also recommended to consume foods high in vitamin A and E after each tanning session.

Care after solarium

Any interference in the “life” of the skin is stress for the body. Therefore, after tanning, it should be perceived as sensitive and gentle. Therefore, it is worth choosing special body lotions that can provide high-quality care for this skin condition.

Maintaining a tan also depends on the washing style: using a scrub will shorten the time the tan stays on the skin as well as hard washcloths and brushes.

If earlier aristocratic pallor was in fashion, now golden skin is in trend. And it’s great that fashion trends coincide with technological progress - now you don’t have to go to resorts and spend a lot of time near the water. After all, you can go to the solarium!

What is a solarium?

When you are in a solarium, the body is exposed to long-wave radiation, which is why melanin begins to be produced, giving the skin a dark tint.

The intensity of the tan obtained is determined by several factors: the power and number of lamps, the duration of the session.

The effects on the skin of sunlight and radiation in a capsule are essentially the same. The only difference is that in a solarium you can change the intensity of irradiation and there are no dangerous rays.

Types of solariums

Now there are three types of solariums:

1. A vertical solarium is usually equipped with highly powerful lamps. You will have to sunbathe in a standing position. But this does not mean that it is less comfortable. Many people, on the contrary, feel more free in it. For an even tan, you need to move a little and move your limbs.

2. Horizontal is considered classic. Insolation in it is carried out in a comfortable body position. Therefore, you can sunbathe in it after a hard and tiring day. You can relax and think about something good, the main thing is not to doze off!

3. Turbo solarium can be distinguished as a variety. It can be both vertical and horizontal. But its main feature is a specialized air conditioning system. It promotes a comfortable stay for a person inside the flask and prevents burns. The resulting tan is even and intense.

Which solarium is best for sunbathing needs to be decided on an individual basis. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Contraindications

Like any cosmetic procedure, tanning in a solarium has a number of contraindications:

1. Various skin diseases;
2. Asthma;
3. Cardiovascular pathologies;
4. A large number of large moles;
5. Menstruation;
6. Oncological diseases;
7. Thyroid diseases;
8. Pregnancy and lactation;
9. Also, the procedure should not be performed on children who have not reached the age of sixteen (you should not risk it, it is better to do it after adulthood).

For the safety of your body, you must follow the contraindications of solariums and follow the recommendations of a dermatologist.

Benefits and harms

As everyone knows, tanning in a solarium can have both benefits and harm for the body of women and men. The benefits and harms of solariums will be described below:

Beneficial features

Not only is the sun beneficial, but the benefits of a solarium are also great. And it is also able to replace the sun in autumn, winter and spring, when it is so lacking.

How is a solarium beneficial for the body of women and men?

1. An important positive quality of such a tan is the production of vitamin D, which strengthens body tissues and improves general condition. Its synthesis can also take place under artificial ultraviolet light.
2. If you suffer from acne and acne, and their appearance is not associated with hormonal imbalance, a solarium is a great way to improve the condition of your skin.
3. Artificial ultraviolet radiation helps strengthen the immune system and helps overcome colds.
4. If you sunbathe in winter, this action will contribute to the production of the “hormone of happiness” - endorphin, which has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and overall well-being. This is a great way to overcome depression and chronic fatigue, and simply feel joy and lift your spirits during a gloomy and cold period.
5. It can be noted that artificial tanning is more intense and even compared to natural tanning.

The benefits of a solarium are invaluable not only for the body, but also for appearance. A solarium can transform and improve the condition of your skin.

Many people, before trying the artificial tanning procedure, are tormented by the question: is a solarium harmful for women and men? Undoubtedly, if you sunbathe incorrectly (either under the sun or in a beauty salon), you can cause negative effects on the body.

Therefore, before the procedure, it is imperative to consult a specialist!

But why is solarium harmful for women and men? Here are the main points:

1. Ultraviolet rays irritate the upper layers of the skin, partially destroying their structure, which can lead to dehydration and premature aging.
2. Also, such a tan can cause rough skin and clogged pores.
3. If safety rules are not followed, you can get a thermal burn.
4. In addition to your skin, tanning beds can cause damage to your hair.
5. With frequent sessions, intense melanin synthesis can contribute to the development of benign and malignant tumors.
6. Also, such a tan can aggravate chronic diseases.

It is important to remember that sunbathing in a solarium is harmful to health if it is abused and the safety rules are violated. If you go for treatments and sunbathe rarely and moderately, and protect your body, you can minimize the risks.

Rules

How to sunbathe properly in a solarium? To get a healthy and seductive tan, you need to follow a step-by-step series of rules:

Preparing for a solarium

Before going to the solarium, you need to prepare your skin. This preparation includes 4 stages:

1. Cleansing. Often, just a refreshing shower will not be enough. Since for an even tan you need to remove dead skin flakes. It is advisable to do this with a soft scrub one or two days in advance. Otherwise, the tan may peel off in a few days along with the upper keratinized layer of skin. And before the visit you should take a shower 2-3 hours without detergents.
2. Hydration. It is extremely necessary! To prevent your skin from drying out too much, you should use a moisturizer. And don't forget to moisturize your lips with balm so they don't dry out. In addition, the day before you can make a hair mask.
3. Tanning activators. Just like before going to the beach, you need to use a special cream. It is important to purchase a special tanning cream for a solarium; its composition is slightly different from the usual one. But, most importantly, you need to choose not just anything, but a quality product that will not only help you acquire a more saturated shade, but also prepare your skin!
4. Proper nutrition. Include healthy vitamin foods in your diet. This article contains all the most interesting information about vitamins for tanning, as well as recipes for healthy cocktails!

3. And for regular procedures, it is recommended to apply a moisturizing mask to your hair 2 times a week.
