What Is This Passion for Tanning?Written by Rachel Stepsen
Tanned skin is very popular among gorgeous women. Everybody wants to have attractive bronzed looks. Whether you are on a date, a business trip or partying, a perfect tan can make you center of attraction. Having a tan is hot, and many teens and celebrities across country seem to agree. Throughout 20th century and indeed in previous one, men and women hung out at pool or beach, soaking up rays to get a tan. However, with advent of tanning beds you can enjoy perfect tan right in privacy of your home or saloon. Tanning results from sunrays. The sun emits two types of radiations - UVA and UVB. UVB radiation burns upper layers of skin (the epidermis) causing sunburns. UVA radiation penetrates lower layers (the dermis) and causes tanning. However, a sunbath exposes our body to unlimited and uncontrolled dose of ultraviolet radiations. Studies have proved that an overdose of these radiations can cause skin cancer. Sunbathing is a natural process of tanning, but it takes a lot of time. The young generation is not fortunate enough to have enough free time for sunbathing as earlier generations had. Many of them may not have spare time during day at all. Tanning beds and tanning lotions have emerged to help them. The tanning beds create a similar environment as under sun. Unlike sunrays, however, a tanning bed controls amount and nature of rays. This ensures that harmful effects of radiation are controlled. This is a great advantage of tanning beds and you can enjoy perfect tan without exposing your skin to harmful radiation.

SupervisionNever leave a young child unattended for even a second. Toddlers are naturally curious explorers and a second is all it takes for them to find trouble that may end in tragedy. According to Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) 75% of submersion victims were between 1 and 3 years old. Never assume another adult is watching your children, you must take full responsibility of their safety, particularly around water. When your child goes missing, always check water first. At social activities, designate an adult as ‘official water watcher’ to help keep all children in attendance safe from harm. Barriers Obstacles must be put in place to keep toddlers safe around pools and water. Little ones learn new skills daily! One day they may only be able to sit, when next day they are crawling and able to get into trouble quickly. It takes less than time spent answering telephone for a toddler to get through an unlocked door, get to pool, and drown. . It is imperative that a mesh type fence completely surrounds pool with a minimum height of 48 inches. This pool safety fence should separate your home from pool and gates should remain locked when not in use. Take care not to provide climbable objects near fence that would allow an adventurous toddler to climb into dangerous pool area alone.
