Tanning for Teens: The Smart Way

February 8, 2013 tropicaltanjoplin

Whether it is for spring break or prom, more teens are getting involved with indoor and outdoor tanning. No matter the reason, it is important to teach teens the smart way to tan to decrease their risk of sunburn and skin damage. Our tanning salon is equipped and our staff is trained to assist teens in making smart tanning choices.

The Truth About Sunburn

Sunburn prevention is the first step of smart tanning for teens. When the skin is burnt, especially on a young person, it can cause serious damage later in life. According to a recent study, approximately 83 percent of teenagers who develop a tan in a salon and properly use sunscreen are less likely to get sunburn than those who do not.

Tanning is a Natural Process

While burning is harsh on the skin, the gradual tanning of the skin is a natural process that involves the production of melatonin and an increase of pigmentation. Essentially, a tan is the body’s way of protecting itself against sunburn, building up over time. Studies show teens who build up an indoor tan will be well prepared against an outdoor burn.

Tanning the Smart Way

Here are a few simple steps to keep in mind about smart tanning:

Never burn your skin. Burning the skin can cause limited to severe damage to young skin and must be prevented at all costs.
Use the right tools. Smart tanning should involve the proper equipment, including sunscreen and goggles. Being well acquainted with these products should become habitual so they are effective.
Take your time. This process is gradual. Teens should take it slow when it comes to developing an indoor tan so that the body can naturally build up a barrier against sunburn.

Glowing bronze skin is a highly desired mark of beauty. Indoor tanning is an easy way to achieve gorgeous skin and feel beautiful. There are several advantages to indoor tanning:

Control of UV Exposure

The main advantage of indoor tanning is that you can control the amount of UV rays you expose your skin to. Some people sunburn very easily and do not spend much time outdoors in the sun. When laying outdoors in the hot sun it easy to expose the skin to dangerously high levels of UV rays. Indoor tanning allows you to quickly get tanned without injuring your skin unknowingly. This is helpful to prevent aging which rapidly increases with overexposure to UV light. Tropical Tan offers two of the worlds most advanced high pressure tanning beds, the Magic & Sunsport. They filter out most UVB rays and one session is equivalent to 6-10 sessions in a conventional bed.

Tan in the Winter

Indoor tanning allows you to tan no matter what the weather is like. When tanning outside is nearly impossible, tanning indoors will keep your skin beautiful and bronze even in the harshest weather conditions. Tropical Tan offers a large selection of tanning lotions & skin care to help you keep that beautiful glow. Using tanning lotion can increase your tan up to 30-40%.

Fast and Convenient

Most people do not have the time to lay for hours on the beach in the sun tanning. The great benefit of indoor tanning is it allows you to achieve a tan quickly and easily. The average indoor tan takes less than 20 minutes, most people see results after one tanning session. Tropical Tan offers 9 levels of tanning.
