Tanning And Beauty

Whilst in some parts of the world, particularly in Asia, pale skin is considered iconic, in most Western cultures, it is a tan that is the object of desire. Exposed to images of bronzed and accessorized starlets, we associate a tan with glamour. The suggestion of leisure and exotic destinations, and effortless beauty, is what we want. To look good we seek to emulate that almost perfect skin complexion and tone. Fortunately, the relatively low cost of tanning salons and skincare products make it more accessible to those of us on more mortal budgets.

There are a lot of benefits to being tanned. Tans hide skin imperfections and reduce the appearance of cellulite. They are a top accessory, and let us to wear a greater array of colors, better. We appear healthier, and more relaxed, like we just returned from a holiday.

Its' one thing to want a tan, another to get one. Simply sun baking gets boring rapidly, and is a bit unreliable. It is impossible to control how strong the sun is, therefore we're more apt to get burned than tanned, unless we have a good base tan to start with. And it can be difficult to find the time to lie in the sun. Compared to a session in a tanning bed, it can take hours and a lot of peeling to get a attractive tan.

Of course, there's always the option of a tanning salon. But that has its' drawbacks as well. For one, you've got the traveling time, then you have to fit the appointment into your schedule. And there's the fact that it wasn't just your bare and sweaty body lying on that tanning bed. Whilst the antibacterial cleaners are good, there's nothing like having your own tanning bed for peace of mind.

Having Treatments in the Comfort of your Home

Residential tanning beds are probably the epitome of convenience when it comes to tanning. They are surprisingly affordable in the long run too. Provided you're not overzealous, you can maintain a great color too. And that's without having to spend hours lying on the beach. Most tanning beds have facial tanners that you can use to lightly tan your face without exposing it too much. And if you add up how much you would spend at the tanning salon over the average life span of a residential tanning bed, its easy to see how it would pay for itself.
