When you are laying in a sunbed you are almost entombed in bright UV lights. Once the lid is closed the light bounces around inside the bed. You body will naturally absorb all of the light.

How do sunbeds work?

Sunbeds emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which stimulates the skin to produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This results in a tan. However, UV radiation from sunbeds can also damage the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer and premature aging. It is important to use sunbeds cautiously and limit exposure to UV radiation.

How must you use sunbeds?

You shouldn't really use sunbeds at all. Research has proven that sunbeds are just as likely to cause skin cancer as straight sun exposure- perhaps even more so. You are in very close contact with UVA/UVB rays when you lie in a sunbed, which are directly linked to skin cancer. If you must use a sunbed, go for very short amounts of time, i.e. 5-10 minutes MAX. Don't bother using sunscreen- it will prove ineffective on your tan. In my opinion, it is far better to accept your natural coloring and stay skin cancer free.
