TANNING BENEFITS

Q. Why Tan?
A. Light is essential to all life on earth. There are various physiological and psychological reasons why exposure to light is desirable and necessary. There's a growing body of scientific evidence showing people actually require light exposure to function effectively. Light exposure causes the brain to suppress the release of the hormone melatonin that acts as a depressant in the body and exposure to light produces various health benefits, such as the production of the very necessary Vitamin D3 in the prevention of bone diseases (such as osteoporosis) and in the improvement of symptoms of psoriasis. People who are exposed to longer hours of bright light feel happier and are able to enjoy life. FDA regulations at the present time prevent the indoor tanning industry from making any medical representations or claims related to indoor tanning exposure. And of course, people know that a great tan looks good, feels good, and can add to personal confidence and attractiveness.

Q. Why Indoor Tanning Vs. Outdoor Tanning
A. Indoor tanning technology provides the most efficient choice for individuals of all skin types to obtain a cosmetic tan in a controlled exposure environment as opposed to the guesswork of the uncontrollable outside environment. Other benefits of indoor tanning include:

• Indoor tanning allows you to tan at any time and aren't limited to daylight hours and weather conditions.
• Indoor tanning can help ensure responsible tanning when following an appropriate time exposure.
• Outdoor exposure varies depending on altitude, cloud cover, pollutants, times of day, latitude and more.

• The body’s main source (80-100%) of Vitamin D is UV Light from the sun.
• The brain produces more of the mood-lifting chemical serotonin on sunny days than cloudy days.
• You are 80% less likely to sunburn outdoors if you’ve already built up a base tan.
