The benefits of indoor tanning versus outdoor tanning are widely discussed in cosmetic and health industries. It is ultimately up to you to decide which method is healthy and convenient for you.
When you visit an indoor tanning facility, your skin produces a tan in same way that it does when you bask in sun -- through absorption of ultraviolet light.
================================================= However, one of dangers of outdoor tanning is exposing yourself to too much ultraviolet light. Climate changes in atmosphere that has many of us slathering on sunblock and sunscreen before we step outside in hot sun. =================================================
One of benefits of indoor tanning versus outdoor tanning is that it allows you to control amount of UV light that you are exposed to, so that you do not get a sunburn or prepare your epidermis for a predisposition to skin cancer.
================================================= You cannot control harmful UV rays from sun anymore than you can control weather. =================================================
If you compare indoor tanning versus outdoor tanning, outdoor tanning is actually one of most unreliable ways to achieve that perfect tan. It is, however, a reliable way to achieve a sunburn.
Waiting for a reddish burn to fade to a brown accelerates aging process.
Indoor tanning equipment utilizes same two kinds of ultraviolet light, UVA and UVB rays that are emitted by sun. Indoor tanning procedures are highly regulated by government agencies in both Canada and United States and equipment is designed to mimic effect of sunlight.
================================================= Exposure times are determined by equipment and trained professionals that take into account previous tanning sessions as well as tanner's skin type. This minimizes possibility of kind of skin damage that is common with outdoor tanning. =================================================
