About Sunless TanningHigh Pressure Tanning There are two main types of ultraviolet light, UVA and UVB. All tanning beds use a combination of these two rays, which contribute differently to the tanning process. Tanning takes place in the skin's outermost layer, the epidermis. When exposed to UVB light melanocytes located within the epidermis produce melanin, which causes the skin to redden. When exposed to UVA light, the melanin oxidizes and causes the skin to darken to a deep golden brown. Low-pressure beds are equipped with fluorescent type tubes, which emit high amounts of UVB rays. High-pressure bulbs are much smaller in size and can be used to tan the face of the full body. A unique filter system allows Ultrabronz beds to filter out most of the UVB rays, using just enough to stimulate the melanin leaving the UVA rays to darken the skin.
The skinny on high-pressure Tanning is actually the body's natural defense mechanism for protecting against the sun's rays. Normally, the outer layer of skin exfoliates every 28 days but when exposed to high concentrations of UVB rays, the body is forced to exfoliate prematurely every 5-10 days. This is why low-pressured tanners must tan more frequently to keep the outer layer of their of their skin looking brown. Because the Supernova filters out most of the UVB rays, your skin is able to maintain normal exfoliation, which in turn allows your skin to stay tan much longer! Tan ultrafast The Supernova provides color results immediately! While low pressured tanning beds require 10-15 visits to establish a base tan, an Ultrabronz bed only requires 3-4 sessions. Maintaining a tan had never been easier. Two to three visits a month will sustain the dark golden results you crave, Think of all the valuable time you will save by using Ultrabronz. Moisturize Your Skin Keeping your skin elastic and supple is the key to maintaining a great tan. The use if tanning lotion is very important and strongly recommended. Remember, never use outdoor tanning lotions when tanning indoors. Medications If you are taking any medications, please check with your physician before you tan. Some drugs are photosensitive and should not be mixed with any type of UV light. Lip Service Your lips do not produce melanin and will never develop a tan. However, UV light from the sun or sun bed will cause your lips to dry. When tanning, always keep your lips moist with a SPF lip balm. Eyes Always wear eye protection! The eye-lid if thin and is extremely susceptible to UV light. While tanning, eyes should be completely covered with professional eyewear designed for tanners. Pick which kind works for you and use it! |
