Walking in the sunshine gives the skin a beautiful brown tint and makes up for the lack of vitamin D. In late autumn, winter and early spring, dosed ultraviolet radiation in a solarium is especially useful.

Rules for visiting the solarium

1. Consider your own phototype and lamp power when choosing a session duration.
2. Rinse off makeup.
3. Observe the intervals between sessions (no more than 1-2 times a week).
4. Do not sunbathe a month after laser or chemical peeling..
5. Do not do depilation before visiting the studio.
6. Remove jewelry before entering the booth.
7. Use protective equipment before and after.
8. Cover your chest with special stickers.
9. Cover tattoos.
10. Stop the session if you feel uncomfortable.

What to bring with you to the solarium

Before the first procedure, decide on the type of tanning booth. A session in a horizontal apparatus is cheaper, but takes more time. The vertical type of tanning bed will allow you to tan faster, but the high power of the lamps adversely affects the skin.

Most salons provide visitors with accessories and tanning products..

How to go to the solarium for the first time

1. Glasses. Take along or ask your studio staff. Protect eyes necessarily to maintain visual acuity and prevent wrinkles around the eyes.
2. Swimsuit. You can not sunbathe without linen. The most sensitive areas should be covered with stickers or a swimsuit to avoid burns and to reduce the risk of oncology..
3. Towel. Buy or rent. A personal towel is better than a reusable item.
4. Slippers. Taking a barefoot UV bath is dangerous because of the risk of infection with the fungus. If disposable slippers are not sold in the cabin, take them with you..
5. Headdress. Ultraviolet light affects hair, especially bleached. Even a short session negatively affects their health, because the hardware lamps are too powerful. To avoid drying out or burning out, take a lightweight scarf over your head or purchase a disposable hat.
6. Cream. Protective moisturizer will protect the skin from drying out and burns. Most salons sell creams or lotions with UV protection. Stop buying tanning products.

Tanning preparation

1. 2 days before UV exposure.
2. To start sunbathing properly in the solarium, scrub your skin the day before..
3. Take a shower before the procedure. Do not use detergents so as not to wash off the protective grease film from the skin. Do not use deodorant and perfume before visiting the salon.

What will be needed after the session

Under the influence of ultraviolet light, the skin loses moisture, so it quickly ages. After the session, rinse or wipe off the tanning products with a damp cloth.

Use a high-quality moisturizer, lotion or gel, the composition of which is rich in natural ingredients.

Tanning cosmetics

To get a darker skin tone, use special tanning products. It is permissible to replace cosmetic products with natural oils (coconut and hemp are considered the best).

Types of cosmetics for tanning:

• prolongators – steady result;
• activators – intense tan;
• developers – the most dark skin tone.

To properly sunbathe in a solarium, be sure to use special means: the device acts on the skin with powerful UV radiation.

The main goals of the use of cosmetics are the prevention of premature aging and the prevention of cancer.

Selection criteria: composition, degree of protection against radiation.

Choose cosmetics based on skin type and condition:

1. Owners of very fair skin should use the highest degree of UV protection..
2. For swarthy, a cream with an average sun protection factor is suitable.
3. Only very dark people can use tools with minimal protection..
