Bronzing Tanning Bed Before And After

If you used a spray tanning treatment to get your tan that s four hours before the first shower.

Bronzing tanning bed before and after. 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. 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. It takes a few sessions for the melanin in the skin to oxidize and produce a deeper color.

Unlike what many believe tanning beds don t instantly give you tan after your first short session. After it s applied the lotion reacts with the skin to increase the body s production of melanin the pigment in skin. 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. The bulbs within a bronzer tanning bed should be changed after 800 to 1 000 hours of use.

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. 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. This is also known as a tanning accelerator and it is basically designed to give your tan a little bit of extra glow after you have finished using the tanning bed and to increase the speed in which your skin will pick up a tan on regular usage of the tanning bed. 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.
