Burns When Using A Home Tanning Bed
By Jan Thomsen
You have used the bed before. You enjoyed the experience. And of course, you like the tan. But, when you used the bed again, you ended up having sore and burned skin. You have acquired a side effect called “tanning bed burns”. You are not the only who has experienced this. Some bed burns make the skin feel tender but the pain is tolerable. But some bed burns hurt so much that these are barely bearable. Worse, bed burns can permanently damage the skin.
There are two common causes why bed burns occur. First, the user of the bed was not using enough protection against the ultraviolet radiation. And second, the user has been overexposed to the UV rays.
To avoid the pain of bed burns, a person must use lotions, preferably, the best ones on the market. A good lotion stimulates the skin to produce more melanin. With more melanin pigments produced, a person need not stay longer in the bed. In effect, the lotion allows a person to cut-off the time that he is exposed to the ultraviolet radiation.
Most lotions also have moisturizers. Moisturizers supply the oils needed by the skin to maintain its elasticity and youthful look. Thus, lotions actually helps a person obtain a vibrant and healthy tan, instead of a leathered tired look.
Aside from using lotions, a person must also use goggles. The goggles will
protect the eyes and prevent bed burns in the eyelids. The goggles are specially designed to give 100% protection against ultraviolet radiation.
Another way of avoiding bed burns is to avoid overexposure. Obviously, when a person stays too long in the bed, he is exposed to greater doses of ultraviolet radiation. This increases the risk of getting burns. A person should also be cautious in using beds. For example, if you are using the bed for the first time, stay in it for a few minutes only. Then, you may add several more minutes the second time you use it. On the third, you may stay in the bed for the maximum recommended time, which is twenty minutes.
Burns occur when the person using the bed ignores safety warnings and precautions. And since burns can damage the skin for good, medical attention should be sought. Doctors or dermatologist know how to help the skin recover from such burns. bed burns should not be shrugged off as a normal effect of indoor tanning.
