Before going to the solarium, every girl should know what consequences she can get. The article details the harm and benefit of the solarium for human health. And also about the rules for choosing a place to visit the solarium.
We all love summer for its sunny days, for the opportunity to swim in the warm river, lie on the beach and sunbathe. But the summer passes, and the tan begins to swiftly disappear. Someone will not even pay attention to this, and someone faster than the wind will run to the solarium. Over the past decade, a visit to the solarium has become so accessible and popular that we are no longer surprised by a girl with chocolate skin in the middle of January. But after all, more than half of the lovers of the solarium do not even think about what harm they do to their bodies. So what is dangerous to regularly visit the solarium? And what is more, the harm or benefit of a solarium?
The harmful effect of the solarium on the human body
- The first, and perhaps most important, is the risk of developing cancer cells. Recent medical observations of Swedish doctors have shown that a person who visits the solarium more than 10 times a year increases the risk of cancer by 7%! The thing is that we get sunburn from getting on the skin rays UVA and UVB, in other words from ultraviolet radiation. These rays can reach the middle of the dermis and destroy not only the natural collagen, but also the DNA of the cell. But even more frightening is the fact that when you visit a solarium in addition to radiation in a tenfold volume, we get also radiation exposure. Hence the development of cancer cells on the skin. A lot of real life stories confirm the opinion of doctors. Just think about, every year 50,000 people die from skin cancer. It's frightening, is not it?
- The second point is to identify premature aging of the skin, the appearance of a constant feeling of dryness and tightness of the skin. As already mentioned above, ultraviolet rays destroy collagen and elastin in the dermis, and as a consequence, the skin ages before the due date, becoming sluggish, flabby and unattractive. But after all, lovers of chocolate tanning are not at all to this.
- Thirdly, it should be said that the solarium causes dependence, both emotionally and physically. If a girl has visited a solarium for a long time, and then decided to stop sharply, then a noticeable deterioration in the condition of the skin is ensured. There may be wrinkles, pigmentation spots. In addition, it can cause some mental discomfort, in some cases even depression.
- And, fourthly, it is worth talking about such unpleasant consequences from visiting the solarium as a sunburn and the risk of contracting skin diseases. Of course, both can appear only in case of misuse of the solarium or unscrupulous behavior of the employees of the beauty salon. But, nevertheless, are you 100% sure that a horizontal or vertical solarium is carefully treated with a disinfectant after each use? As for burns, it is worth remembering that the skin always reacts differently to the sun's rays, depending on the medications taken, the regimen of the day, food, hereditary factors. So, the risk of getting a burn is great enough.
But with all the harm that the artificial tan inflicts on the human body, he, oddly enough, can bring and benefit.
Benefit from visiting the solarium
For example, some dermatologists recommend a moderate visit to the solarium (with all the security measures) for acne, psoriasis, eczema, atopic dermatitis and neurodermatitis. This is due to the fact that the sun's rays, although artificial, have an antimicrobial and antibacterial effect. And also dry the skin, which prevents the further appearance and development of infection.
Another advantage in favor of a solarium can be considered the ability of ultraviolet rays to stimulate in our body the production of vitamin D and the hormone of joy - serotonin. Scientists have proved that residents of such a cold region (with a small number of sunny days) like Norway, attending a solarium, are less prone to stress and depression than those who prefer natural skin color.
And of course, from an aesthetic point of view, some believe that the bronze shade of the skin looks more attractive, compared with the naturally pale skin color.
Selecting a place to visit the solarium
If you still decided to visit the solarium, then very carefully choose the place of his visit.
Try to attend professional tanning studios, with qualified specialists. In case of some unforeseen situation (dizziness, nausea, instantaneous rash or itching, redness or burn), they will be able to provide you with the necessary first aid. In addition, you can help with scheduling visits to the solarium, explain all the rules of use, offer everything you need for sunbathing. And, importantly, professional studios are much more strict in observing sanitary norms.
In addition, when you visit a solarium in an economy class cabin, you risk getting a share of radiation exposure that is several times higher than the norm. This is due to the fact that in order to save owners of salons and hairdressers buy tanning equipment with the expired date of possible use. And this means that various system failures, including increased radiation, are possible. Are you ready to take such a risk?
But most importantly, wherever you decide to sunbathe, never forget about the basic rules of visiting and using a tanning salon.
