How to choose the right solarium?
Today, solariums use lamps that emit A and B beams. The advantage of such models is the possibility of individual dosing of sun rays for each person, based on his type of appearance.
In modern solariums there is necessarily ventilation, relieving the sensation of heat and stuffiness. Today, for tanning, two types of lamps are used: high-power halogen emitters and low-pressure devices that have a more gentle effect on the skin and minimize the undesirable effect.
In addition, you can sunbathe not only lying down, but also standing up. As a rule, in a vertical solarium the lamp is more powerful than in the horizontal one. It is also believed that vertical solariums are more hygienic than horizontal ones, because when using the first, direct contact of the skin with the surface of the lounger is excluded.
By the way, the obligatory rule in all tanning beds, without exception, is the treatment of the surface of the lounger with a special disinfectant solution after each visitor. Check whether it is done or not is very easy: if the litter is not wiped, the spots on the transparent surface and the stains left after the previous session are clearly visible.
One of the latest developments in this area is a horizontal solarium with an "anatomical" design. The surface of the lounger in this capsule repeats the contours of the human body. In such a solarium it is very convenient to lie, and tan lies much more smoothly than in the usual horizontal.
If you want to quickly get a beautiful tan on separate parts of the body, you will be suitable for a solarium. In it, as a rule, lamps with A-radiation are used, so this tan lasts not for long. Some models of chairs-solariums are equipped with special massagers for back and legs.
Professional tanning studios are equipped with solariums of the category "turbo". They have a built-in timer. As a rule, these miracle machines are not designed for a long tan, and burns from them can be even stronger than those obtained in the open midday sun.
When choosing a solarium you need to pay attention to the following points: the power of the solarium, the time for sunburn, the date of the last replacement of the lamps. For the fastest and safest for tanning, take an interest in such things as the spectral composition of the lamps, the presence of a reflector, the number and power of lamps, electronic control and a special room.
There are many reasons in favor of solariums :
In the solarium, you sunbathe, and therefore, you will look beautiful and like yourself and others. This is an important psychological factor, especially somewhere in February, when everyone is like moles around, and you are the one radiating health and joy;
The ratio and power of the ultraviolet rays "A" and "B" in the atmosphere usually fluctuates. It depends on a number of factors: the time of day and year, the degree of air pollution, geographical latitude and the intensity of light reflection. Accordingly, with such an imbalance, it is very difficult to predict the result of a "natural tan". Ultraviolet lamps in solariums provide a balanced combination of rays "A" and "B" and completely exclude the presence of gamma rays "C", which are destructive to the cells, and therefore there is no reason to worry. In addition, the rays of type "A" here also only 5-10%, so your skin will be less exposed to the aging process under the influence of sun rays;
Exposed ultraviolet cells of a person begin to separate the so-called hormones of happiness - endorphins, so the solarium - not only a way to look better, but also to cheer yourself up;
Ultraviolet rays strengthen the immune system;
Ultraviolet rays type "A" have a beneficial effect in the treatment of skin diseases: psoriasis, fungal diseases, etc .;
Another solarium helps to fight with respiratory diseases;
Sunburn in the solarium protects the skin from sunburns under the "living" summer sun or before going to warm countries.
All these useful properties of artificial sunburn can turn into harmful, if you do not comply with the simplest rules. Firstly , before visiting the solarium you should always consult a doctor.
Secondly , there are diseases - such as hypertension, diabetes, disorders in the thyroid gland, mastopathy, gynecological diseases, in which any tan is contra-indicated - including, artificial.
Third , some drugs, for example, many antibiotics, can cause increased sensitivity to sunlight and, as a result, skin irritation.
You should be extremely cautious in the solarium during pregnancy: there is a risk of becoming covered with age spots, and the tan itself can acquire a purple hue. The fact is that during pregnancy, a hormone is produced in women that creates a pigment-activating effect - chloasma.
At the same time for the fetus, the radiation of the solarium is not dangerous, if the future mother does not overheat. Unlike you, the baby in the womb can not regulate the temperature of his body, since his sweat glands have not yet formed.
Remember that the maximum time of the session in the solarium is 20 minutes . And then only if the equipment in the chosen solarium - the latest generation. In a good tanning studio, experts will advise you the optimal time for your type of appearance tanning. It is not recommended for beginners to spend more than 5-7 minutes in a solarium.
Do not try to sunbathe negligee : on the one hand, a tan without white stripes is much more beautiful, on the other - it is on the traditionally covered with clothes the most tender and sensitive skin. And only the lazy does not know that sunburn topless can lead to breast cancer.
Sunbathing is necessary with a clean body . Therefore, before the session, take a shower: wash away not only makeup, but also the remains of perfume and toilet water - they can cause allergies. Reaction of the skin to a combination of cream and ultraviolet can also be inadequate, so use only special creams designed to moisturize the skin after sunburn. Do not go to the solarium on the day of cosmetic procedures (skin cleaning, peeling) and visit the sauna or sauna. This can put too much strain on the skin.
Buy special glasses for a tanning salon : a retinal burn is not the most pleasant thing that can happen to you in this life.
Well, the last : the most even tanning will ensure you a visit to the vertical solarium: the parts of the body on which we lie suffer from poor blood circulation, and the lack of oxygen can lead to a decrease in the production of melanin in these parts of your body. In general, light up with the mind!
