It helps to achieve a good cosmetic and therapeutic effect: clears skin, warms up muscles, which contributes to relaxation of decontamination lungs. And all this happens due to energy of light, whish has a beneficial effect on several processes in body, for instance, metabolism, which has been used long even in treatment of various diseases.
What benefit can you get when visiting a solarium?
Get a nice tan, significantly reduce the risk of osteoporosis. More than one hundred functions of our body are dependent on sunlight. One of them - synthesis of vitamin D. This vitamin is responsible for assimilation of calcium, which loss occurs while osteoporosis.
Prevent cancer, reduce the risk of hypertension and eliminate problems, such as psoriasis, acne and hair loss, as evidenced by recent studies of Japanese scientists. This requires 20-minute sessions in the solarium in winter period.
Help your immunity dealing with abundance of infection, if you are prone to frequent colds.
Help with varicose vessels.
In all these cases, solarium becomes an indispensable tool for rehabilitation.
However, artificial sunlight in excessive quantities can lead to many problems - growth of tumors, disruption of hair, changes in skin pigmentation, loss of skin elasticity.
To avoid such problems adhere to following rules while visiting the solarium:
Before solarium it is preferably to wash with soap and water for one and a half to two hours before the procedure, or if you wash immediately before the procedure, replace soap on a soft foam liquid that does not destroy protective lipid grease.
Do not use perfumes or cosmetics - some of them contain photosensitizing substances and instead of sunburn they can cause skin irritation.
Consult with your doctor, if you are taking medications - some of them increase photosensitivity of skin and can trigger allergy.
Wear sunglasses, and cober hair with a neckerchief.
Do not take sun rays completely naked, this especially concerns protection of mammary glands.
After the procedure drink a cup of grass tea or juice, rich in vitamin C, take a shower, preferably with gel for sensitive skin and apply skin moisturizing lotion.
Basically, the number of sessions is determined individually depending on a client’s skin type:
Type one: dark, olive skin, breast nipples are also dark. Dark hair, dark eyes, freckles are usually absent. These people are well exposed to the sun and not burned. We recommend 10-12 sessions of 30 minutes.
Type two: skin is light or little dark, breast nipples are quite dark. Dark hair, brown or grey eyes, no freckles. Skin of this type refers to ultraviolet favorably. The first session is 15 minutes in one day - the length of a session of 30 minutes. Following sessions in the same mode - half-hour.
Type three: light skin, breast nipples are light, few freckles. Eyes are gray, blue or green, hair are light, chestnut. Such people are sensitive to ultraviolet rays. It is better to visit a solarium 2-3 times a week, with breaks for 2 days. Sessions of 15 minutes. With this type of skin you should not use solarium all year round without a break - a course twice a year is sufficient : winter and spring, especially when body needs ultraviolet.
Fourth type: skin is very light, sandy hair, green eyes. A lot of freckles, nipples and breast are very light. Such skin is very sensitive to ultraviolet rays. Sunburn happens instantly, but no tan. With this type of skin solarium is not even worth investing.
When choosing the solarium, where you intend to obtain a beautiful and safe tan, evaluate its worth on several criteria:
Solariums should have low pressure lamps (ie all the latest models are equipped with such lamps). Solariums with low pressure lamps are designed for people with any type of skin. The risk of burns from such lamps is equal to zero, through a balanced combination of UVA-and UVB-rays. Duration of treatment in such solarium can be from 6 to 30 minutes.
Cleanliness and hygiene should be observed.
Lamps must be “fresh.” If after two or three sessions, your skin is still white, it is most likely that lamps were not changed in this solarium fir a long. The average duration of their service is 400-500 hours.
If they are not there, it’s likely that you will go out with a red nose;
Good ventilation, including presence of fan in a head end of the capsule;
More reliable automatic mode of solarium;
Ideally, a good solarium should have a specialist with medical education, which will hold consultation and make your individual tanning schedule. But, no matter how helpful tan is, in some cases one should not attend it:
Children with extremely sensitive skin
People suffering from various skin diseases. If you have any skin convexity, scarring, or rashes, you should consult with your doctor-dermatologist and get his permission to visit the solarium. The same should be dome while excessive tendency to birthmarks. Cancer alertness. If you’re among lucky ones, not affected by these diseases, get tanned happily!
