Tanning is the process of darkening skin pigmentation by exposure to ultraviolet light rays. There are two types of skin tanning. Immediate tanning vs. delayed tanning Immediate tanning is caused by ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation from sunlight and lasts only a few hours or days. The delayed tanning is a reaction to UVB radiation from sunlight that appears 2-3 days after sunbathing and lasts longer with natural skin renewal. The intensity of tanning varies depending on the skin type.
Indoor Tanning Equipment
Indoor tanning is very popular and should include indoor tanning lotion. Most tanning salons use a clamshell-like tanning bed. In order to use the tanning bed lamps, customers must lie on a plexiglass surface. Stand-up tanning beds are the latest high-tech tanning beds that do not require plexiglass.
