Indoor tanning can definitely provide you the makeover matching the one provided by professional tanning salons.
Tanning is the result of the UV Rays stimulating the production of melanin. There are two kinds of UV rays. These are UVA and UVB rays and the right combination of these two kinds of UV rays are used in achieving a perfect tan. The combination of the right use of these rays in a home tanning exercise is regulated by the amount of time one has exposed the skin to the rays.
Since this is a crucial and very important issue, there are strict laws that regulate the amount of exposure to UV rays on human skin. This is to ensure that there are no ugly incidents due to over exposed skin to the effects of UV rays during a course of home tanning.
Even with regulatory processes in place, the home user of the tanning procedure must take a few steps to ensure the best results.
First of all one must determine the skin type before deciding the right kind of combination for ones skin. Then having assessed the skin type of the individual it is necessary to go in for the protection of parts of the face that definitely do not need to be tanned.
The eyes for instance must be protected behind a pair of sun glasses In addition eye protection measures have to be taken. Just closing the eyes or wearing glasses is not enough.
The protection of the lips is the next important step to be taken. The best way to protect the lips during the home tanning process is to apply a lip gloss over them or to wear a pair of glasses for the duration of the home tanning procedure.
To get the best results from your home tanning, moisturize the skin before applying the tanning oil. This is not a way of keeping the skin moist by the procedure that will help the skin tan best.
The look on the skin surface during the process and even later, is absolutely necessary particularly if one is trying the tan effect for the first time. A red and pink tint is not a tanning effect but one of sunburn and one must be wary of such condition. The only way to avoid such blemishes is to use the proper equipment and in a controlled way.
The effects of tanning are thus not an immediate thing. Hours later it can come to the surface and therefore, it is necessary that you follow the application rules carefully in order to get the best results.
