Tanning Lamps And Your Health


Tanning lamps are more than just for tanning. If you are using the right tanning beds and lamps there are significant health benefits as well. If you select the right tanning lamps for your home you can enjoy the benefits of both improved health and an improved appearance. If you go to a commercial tanning salon, you should be aware of the potential health risks associted with these salons.


1.Commercial Tanning bulbs emit X-Rays, a form of radiation that is potentially hazardous.


2.Magnetic Ballasts on the lights emit (EMF) rays or electromagnetic field rays, These rays are a health concern.


3.Hygiene is some that should be considered as well. What about the person who was sweating while tanning before you?


The benefits of a good tanning bed or lamp are related to the same benefits you get from the sun. If your bulbs have the right rays you will be able to get vitamin D from your lights. Ultraviolet B rays or (UVB) rays from the sun help your skin produce about 80% of the vitamin D in your body. Without sunlight your body can not produce vitamin D. Ultraviolet A or (UVA) rays are what gives your you your beautiful golden tan. They also are your body`s natural defense against sunburn.
