Bronzing Tanning Bed Before And After

Often times when you use a tanning booth or bed in a tanning salon they will give you a bronzer that you will apply before you get on the tanning bed.

Bronzing tanning bed before and after.

Unlike what many believe tanning beds don t instantly give you tan after your first short session. As for a spray tanning treatment with bronzers the waiting time is at least eight hours. It takes a few sessions for the melanin in the skin to oxidize and produce a deeper color. This is known as a base tan and it provides a small amount of uv protection on the order of an spf 2 or spf 3.

The bulbs within a bronzer tanning bed should be changed after 800 to 1 000 hours of use. The salon attendant explains to us the difference between different tiers of tanning beds. Bronzer tanning bed lotions are used to enhance a tan by making the skin appear darker or tan faster. To see results a base tan is recommended before the use of a bronzer bed.

These types of lotions also are known as tanning accelerators. On the other hand if you had bronzers while you re on the tanning bed the waiting time is at least two hours before you can hit the showers. We walked in with intentions of going in the beds designed for a base tan however after being explained the difference between reddening uvb and bronzing uva bulbs we decide on purchasing a platinum tan a two tier upgrade. Bronzer beds and the bronzing bulbs in them should not be confused with hot bulbs as they work differently emitting more uvb rays to produce a faster but lighter tan.
