Artificial tanning studios are especially popular in winter and autumn, during a period of low solar activity, among women who prefer to always have seductive bronze or chocolate skin. But in the summer they are in demand, because dosed irradiation with ultraviolet helps in the fight against some dermatological diseases. Unfortunately, not all visitors of such salons know how often one can go to a solarium, which is why some women face various problems of a medical and cosmetic nature.
How often can I go to a solarium for beginners?
Regardless of whether a person first entered the tanning studio or visited it for years, the interval between sessions should not be less than 48 hours. This is the interval chosen for the following reasons:
- the processes of pigment formation in the skin last about 2 days;
- this time allows the cells to produce vitamin D;
- repeated exposure earlier than 2 days later is fraught with negative consequences.
The fact is that sunburn is a damaging factor for the skin, although it is useful in moderation. Under the influence of ultraviolet from the cells evaporates moisture, they lose part of the nutrients and vitamins. Therefore, after a session in the solarium, it is always recommended to lubricate the skin with intensively moisturizing agents and do not repeat the procedure earlier than 48 hours later. Otherwise, the epidermis will thin out and become too dry, irritations and scaling will appear.
With regard to the overall frequency of artificial tanning, dermatologists are advised to comply with rule 50 - not to be exposed to radiation more than 50 times a year. This recommendation is relevant for both beginners and regular customers of the salon.
How often can I regularly visit the solarium without harm?
The effect of ultraviolet lamps on the skin depends mainly on its type.
Natural blonde with light eyes (like Nicole Kidman) to go to the studio tanning is not recommended at all. Irradiation of milky white and thin translucent skin increases the risk of melanoma and other dermatological pathologies.
For representatives of the European type of appearance , as well as swarthy women, a competent visit to the solarium is absolutely safe, and sometimes useful. But in all things it is important to observe moderation, remembering rule 50 and 48-hour interval between sessions.
There is also the problem of dependence on sunburn, when the desire to make the skin darker passes reasonable boundaries, and the woman forgets how often it is allowed to go to the solarium. To get a smooth, beautiful chocolate or bronze shade, 5-10 procedures are enough, depending on the natural color of the epidermis. After this, it is necessary to interrupt for 1-2 months, and then only to maintain the desired shade of skin, visiting the tanning studio no more often than 1-2 times a week.
How often can you sunbathe in a vertical and horizontal solarium?
The difference between the described types of devices for creating artificial tan is the power of the lamps. In a vertical solarium, they are more intense, since the body is at a distance from the radiation. Horizontal boxes assume location
As a rule, experts recommend alternating sunburn in both varieties of the solarium, as the vertical type allows you to get a quick result on the upper part of the body, and a horizontal view - on the bottom. In addition, in the supine position, the epidermis is poorly pigmented at the places where the skin contacts the surface, and light spots are formed. Correct this defect allows 1-2 sessions in a vertical box.
Concerning the frequency of visits to both types of solarium, the previously mentioned rules apply.
