Tanning Beds

I asked my pharmacist, and he told me the benefits depend on what type of rash you have. He said if it is blistering and oozing, the UV light will help dry it out; however, if it is in the later stages (dry and itchy), the sun will dry it out more and make it itch more.

Make sure to shower and moisturize before arriving at a tanning salon, use a tanning lotion because they do help you tan about 70% better than it would be without using a tanning lotion. Also tan in moderation, don't go too many minutes, burning causes harm, if you start with a short time and work your way up you will see results a lot quicker!

You may have greater sensitivity to light and should limit your exposure. You'll burn more easily.

If you have lichen planus, it's generally advisable to avoid tanning beds, as the UV exposure can exacerbate skin conditions and potentially trigger flare-ups. Additionally, lichen planus can make the skin more sensitive to light. Consulting with a dermatologist is recommended to discuss safe options for sun exposure and skin care.

A tanning lotion

Yes. i go everyday.

The wavelength in the emitted radiation on a tanning bed are more conducive to burning, in your case, then the wavelengths you would see under the natural lighting of your area. IN a tanning bed you can get tan in 10 min what would take you a hr in the sun... The reason being that the lights are bright and hot and surround you and are very close to you... What is happening while you are tanning is you are literally being cooked from the inside out... so think of a tanning bed as a giant oven. That is why you should not tan for too long or else you can die... I love my tanning bed... If you have one and plan on tanning daily you want to start of with a few min a day then after a few days go up a few more min and so on that way your body gets used to it... If you just go in there after not tanning in a while and tan for lets say 20 - 30 min your more likely to have a sun burn rather than a tan and it is more dangerous as well.

It would not be wise to because your skin needs to recover.

a tanning place

yes

It is possible to die in a tanning bed. Some have an automatic feature where when it get's to hot it will shut itself off automatically.

No because it can will make have uterine contraction.

You can't get gonorrhea from a tanning bed. You get gonorrhea from oral, anal, or vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; or birth to an infected mother.

You just pull it down...

does using a tanning bed have any negative effect on your organs or reproductive system

the answer should be corrected: hcv is NOT transmitted sexually.

yea u do cuz it would b weid if only 1 side of u is tan and the other is not hahahaha :)

20-30 minutes. Depending on if you used lotion with tingler or bronzer.

Yes. It is recommended to tan no more than once a day.

ive been using the matrix bed for almost 2 years now. its the most amazing tanning bed ive used by far. i can tan in this bed after not tanning for six months and not burn at the full time. i have very fair skin and notice a nice tan after just one session.

Actually, the matrix is very different than other tanning beds. It is made so that you receive 99% UVA rays and 1% UVB rays, approximately. The UVB rays are the rays that burn you, while the UVA rays allow you to tan. Also, it allows you to continue tanning for 48 hours, after laying in the bed. While all rays can be harmful, the ones you should protect against the most are UVB. Please don't take that to mean that this bed won't or can't cause skin problems/cancer. Any sunlight, in excess, can and will do harm, but this bed is much less likely to cause harmful skin problems than many other beds.

You should be very careful at any time on a tanning bed. A ten-year-old girl in Wales has recently burned herself so badly that she will have to keep out of the sun for the next ten years.

No! Its never ok to lie in a tanning bed. It will eventually give you skin cancer!
