    Is Indoor Tanning Right For Me?

    By Eric Bramlett

    “You’ve seen the storefronts in every strip mall that you’ve had a reason to drive by but you haven’t yet gone inside. Sure, you’ve considered checking out what indoor tanning might be able to do for you, but you have your hesitations. You’ve heard the rumors that indoor tanning is bad for you. And even if you’ve done your research and decided that it’s safe, you’re not really sure that indoor tanning is right for you. After all, you’re just an average person and you have to admit that you don’t look anything like the people you imagine frequenting indoor tanning salons.

    Here are some questions to ask yourself if you’re trying to decide whether or not indoor tanning is a good option for you:

    • Do you burn easily when you try tanning in natural sunlight? While some people are lucky enough to have skin that withstands the tests of the sun, the majority of us get sunburned if we’re out in the rays for too long. Not only does it hurt, but it’s obviously bad for your skin. Indoor tanning can prevent the problems of sun burn by giving you than tan in a more controlled environment.

    • Does your appearance improve when you have a natural tan? Some people are afraid that indoor tanning will give them an unnatural look. However, most people who are able to tan naturally get the same natural appearance from their indoor tanning salon. If you enjoy the way that you look when you do get a tan, then you might want to go ahead and go indoors.

    • Do you enjoy spas and salons? The indoor tanning treatment is an indulgent experience. People who enjoy going to get massages and facials or even who just like when it’s time to go get their hair cut again often find that adding a tanning salon to the beauty routine gives them another way to get that “me time” indulgence.

    • Are you willing to do your research? There are certainly pros and cons to every possible situation and so indoor tanning salons are no exception. It’s never a good idea to go into an experience blindly. But if you’re willing to do a little background research into how to find a good salon, what to expect and what tanning precautions to take, then you’ll probably enjoy your experience.

    • Have you ever checked out an indoor tanning salon? If you’ve been thinking about it for awhile but you haven’t gone inside one of these spots, you should consider the fact that there’s no harm in getting information. Don’t let anyone sell you any services that you’re not interested, of course, but don’t be afraid to ask questions and get more insider knowledge about what a tanning salon can do for you.

    Indoor tanning salons are located all over the nation so it shouldn’t be hard for you to find one. In fact, you’ve probably passed by one regularly which is what got you thinking that you might want to try one in the first place. It’s true that the experience isn’t for everyone. But if you’ve answered the above questions with responses that make it seem like an indoor tanning salon is at least worth checking out, then you might want to drop in the next time that you’re in the area of one. After all, you can’t find out that you like it if you never check it out.”

    Tanning Bed Facts – What To Know

    By Brian on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 | No Comments

    With the ongoing work being done by researchers studying the health effects of a myriad of environmental, dietary, and chemical factors on our bodies, we are bombarded with information on a daily basis. The negative effects of sun exposure have been well documented, as have the effects of tanning beds. But for tanning bed enthusiasts, the positive feelings associated with tanning are difficult to ignore. To weigh your risks when it comes to tanning, it’s important to first understand some tanning bed facts.

    One of the most important tanning bed facts to understand is that tanning beds do not eradicate the dangers of ultraviolet rays. Most of us know that the sun emits ultraviolet rays – UVA and UVB rays – that have been associated with everything from early aging to significant skin damage such as skin cancer. But what you must also understand is that tanning beds also emit these ultraviolet rays. While exposure to the more dangerous UVB rays are minimized in tanning beds, these UV rays still exist. Additionally, tanning beds actually increase exposure to UVA rays – longer UV wavelengths that reach our deeper layers of skin – to speed the tanning process. For skin that has a tendency to burn this can mean a speedier burning, rather than tanning, process.

    Another one of the tanning bed facts to understand is that visiting a tanning salon does not mean you should leave your protective lotion behind. Rather, you should be just as vigilant in selecting protective lotion at the tanning salon as you would on the beach. One of the tanning bed facts that most people don’t realize is that there are lotions designed for specific skin types that are meant to provide protection in tanning beds. Any reputable tanning salon will offer a full product line of protective lotion; ask an employee for help finding one that works with your skin type.

    The most important of tanning bed facts is that a tanning bed does not change your skin. If you burn at the pool then you will burn in a tanning salon. If you have fair skin that tends to burn, you’re better off avoiding tanning beds altogether. But if you must tan, do so responsibly and with knowledge behind you.

    How To Use A Tanning Bed

    By Brian on Monday, January 9th, 2012 | No Comments

    If you need to know how to use a tanning bed, it makes sense that you find out more about the possible ailments associated with tanning in tanning beds. Tanning in a tanning bed or a tanning salon is not, as many people believe, that different from tanning on a beach. That’s why it’s absolutely imperative to know how to use a tanning bed properly.

    Although using a tanning bed is quite simple, knowing how to tan in a tanning bed properly is another matter altogether. Using a tanning bed is, essentially, trying to replicate the tanning process in a controlled environment. The sun tans you via UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays, and that is exactly how a tanning bed tans you. In tanning salons, anyone who wants a tan can control how long a time they want to be exposed to a tanning bed’s UV rays, as well as control which rays the skin itself is exposed to. On a beach, you don’t, and can’t, get this kind of personalized control, nor can you tan on the beach in the winter!

    Tanning beds are actually quite similar to sun tanning, because the same UV radiation is creating the tan.

    Using a tanning bed is quite simple. Any individual seeking to get a good tan in a tanning bed must first get a base tan, which is a deep, below the surface tan, which can take about eight sessions, depending on the pigmentation of your skin. If you need to know how to use a tanning bed, how long to stay in the tanning bed, depending on your skin tone, the employees at the tanning salon can assist you.

    Obviously, tanners with fair skin should limit exposure to ultraviolet rays emitted by a tanning bed, which are pretty much exactly like the ones emitted by the sun. After building a base tan, the next thing to do is to tan a little bit at a time, to work your way towards the desired skin tone. Ultraviolet light, i.e. the light which is used in tanning beds is a slightly a different strain of the sun’s type of ultraviolet rays, but because the rays are more concentrated, customers need to keep their visits short. This is the most important thing when considering how to use a tanning bed. It is in your best interests to ask for advice, and to trust the professional who is supervising your experience.

    Two of the most important things to take into consideration when considering using a tanning bed are to a) wear protective goggles and b) apply liberal amounts of tanning lotion or lotions. Human eyes are extremely sensitive to ultraviolet light, and due to the concentration of the ultraviolet rays used by tanning beds, the eyes are immediately susceptible to harm. Sunglasses, once thought as acceptable protection, are absolutely, positively not to be used to protect your eyes. Using goggles specifically designed for tanning in tanning beds is the best overall idea, because goggles of this type are created specifically to protect against UV rays.

    Regarding lotions, you need to consider moisture and tyrosine. Moist skin tans better, not to mention more evenly, than dry skin. This isn’t ground-breaking knowledge, but most people don’t moisturize enough. By moisturizing you are slowing and/or retarding the exfoliation process. Doing this effectively you will receive a good tan, so finding a proper moisturizer is absolutely essential. Tyrosine, an amino acid that assists production of melanin, which controls the skins pigmentation, is also an element in selecting the proper lotion. Tyrosine allows your body to maintain melanin levels longer, and will assist in the retardation of the exfoliation process.

    If you need to know more about how to use a tanning bed, or desire someone to teach you how to use a tanning bed, consult a local specialist.

    Laser Hair Removal Can Fix Those Guybrows

    By Brian on Tuesday, November 8th, 2011 | No Comments

    Men are becoming far more conscious about their image. And one of the biggest fashion faux pas is the notorious Neanderthal ‘monobrow’. The new buzzword for the latest in refined looks is the ‘boybrow’.

    While women have long realised that perfectly shaped eyebrows can frame their best feature and draw emphasis to the eyes, it now seems that men are getting in on the act too. High street giant Debenhams have revealed that men now make up 40% of visitors to brow bars, and men are being plucked, tweezed and waxed alongside their female counterparts in an attempt to achieve that effortless, well-groomed look. But what has prompted men to take up the tweezers and get rid of that monobrow?

    Social pressure

    Research carried out by Debenhams at their in-store salons revealed that men wanted to smarten up their appearance before a job interview or a wedding. It’s long been a myth that men with monobrows somehow cannot be trusted or are ‘shifty’. To distance themselves from this misconception, men are becoming more fastidious about their appearance – and that includes hair removal techniques to get rid of unwanted facial hair. Another beauty chain, Calderdale Beauty Salons, have also said that men are trying to emulate that perfectly arched eyebrow look so ubiquitously associated with movie icons like James Bond. The most requested brow shapes apparently include Robert Pattinson, David Beckham and Peter Andre. But don’t go in asking for a ‘Jeremy Clarkson’ or Sylvester Stallone’s over plucked look – they’re on the ones to avoid list!

    Most men go for a temporary fix, using a range of techniques such as tweezing and waxing through to an ancient method of hair removal known as ‘threading’. This technique originated in India and involves thin twine of cotton being rolled over the area and plucking out the hair at the follicle level. Unlike ordinary plucking with tweezers, this method removes an entire row of hair in one go. So it is quicker and more accurate, as well as being less painful than other methods.

    More permanent methods

    For men who are really self-conscious about their looks or who just don’t want the hassle of having to visit a salon every so often to get their eyebrows tidied up, there are more permanent alternatives. Laser hair removal offers a solution that is much longer lasting than plucking or tweezing, and works particularly well on the thicker hair men tend to have in their eyebrow region. More salons are now offering this service, and have noticed a considerable increase in the number of men opting for permanent hair removal treatments such as laser hair removal.

    But what’s changed our attitude to the monobrow? Beauty therapists think that the biggest influence has come from Hollywood, where male stars are far more open about their beauty routines than before. It is no longer considered the height of vanity or ‘a bit girlie’ to admit to having pride in your appearance, and many men are becoming much more comfortable with sitting alongside their female friends in a beauty salon to get problem areas tidied up. The look is no longer the Neanderthal monobrow – men are going for the dark, brooding and perfectly groomed look, including tidying up those errant eyebrows!
