Hardly any girl will refuse a beautiful even tan, which is able to hide any flaws in the figure and give your appearance a touch of mystery. In addition, tanning, you hide the problem areas of your skin. In particular, not only the complexion improves, but also in small amounts, ultraviolet has bactericidal properties - it dries pimples, makes small wounds invisible. But there is also a downside. Firstly, both the sun's rays and the solarium for fair skin are not too safe. Indeed, in excessive amounts, they can greatly age the face. Secondly, although the skin will look better after tanning, after a few days the situation may not only not improve, but even become worse. This is especially true for people with problem skin. Thirdly, by masking pimples, you thereby do not solve the problem of eliminating them, and if you do not pay due attention to acne, the situation may worsen. Therefore, in any case,tanning should be taken seriously.
Sun or solarium?
For fair skin, exposure to ultraviolet rays of any nature is very dangerous. There are different opinions "for" and "against" the solarium, but the following facts remain undeniable.
- Research by oncologists revealed that the risk of cancer for people who prefer tanning beds is greater than for sunbathing.
- It's much easier to get burned under the UV rays of a tanning bed, especially for those with sensitive, fair skin. How to tan, so as not to experience discomfort later? At a minimum, respect time limits.
- It is impossible to speak one hundred percent about the integrity of all salon owners. Some, in order to minimize costs, change lamps very infrequently, which increases the risk of skin diseases among users.
- Since the tanning service itself appeared relatively recently, its effects on the human body have not been fully studied.
Sunbed tanning rules
The first thing to do is to contact your doctor and ask if you have any contraindications. Visits to the solarium are strictly prohibited for people with diseases of the cardiovascular system, an open form of tuberculosis. Also get a consultation with a dermatologist: often a tanning bed for fair skin is banned, so you should make sure if you are in this group. Furtherit is necessary to prepare your skin before a portion of ultraviolet radiation. Solarium cosmetics will help you with this, which includes sunscreens and various oils that prevent drying of the skin, as well as possible burns, especially if you are going for the first time. Cosmetics must be applied immediately before tanning. The basic rules for going to the solarium are to wear a cap that protects your hair from drying out, as well as glasses to protect against ultraviolet radiation. Do not neglect the advice of experts before going to the solarium. For fair skin, as well as for those that will be exposed to ultraviolet radiation for the first time, the maximum duration of the session should not exceed 7 minutes. Otherwise, burns may occur.
