Why A Tan Equals Beautiful

Whilst in some parts of the world, like Asia and India, pale skin is considered iconic, in most Western cultures, it is a tan that is the object of desire. We see pictures of beach babes and bronzed Hollywood starlets, and see glamour. Their tans imply luxury and a ritzy life. To look good we seek to emulate that almost perfect skin complexion and tone. And just like those movie stars and models, we are no less committed in the time we spend creating that tan. Fortunately, the relatively low cost of tanning salons and skincare products make it more accessible to those of us on more mortal budgets.

There are many advantages to being tanned. Tans hide skin imperfections and disguise cellulite. They are a top accessory, and let us to wear a greater array of colors, better. We seem healthier, and more relaxed, like we just returned from a holiday.

Developing a tan is another matter - unless you're fortunate to live in a hot climate or are an avid gardener who spends hours in the sun. Just sun baking gets tedious rapidly, and is a bit unreliable. You can't control the intensity of the sun, hence we're more apt to get burned than tanned, unless we're relatively brown to start with. And it can be difficult to find the time to lie in the sun. Compared to a session in a tanning bed, it can take hours to get a decent tan.

Of course, we can always go to a tanning salon. But that has its' disadvantages too. There's the traveling time for a start, then you have to fit the appointment into your schedule. And there's the fact that it wasn't just your bare and sweaty body lying on that tanning bed. Whilst the antibacterial cleaners are good, there's nothing like having your own tanning bed for peace of mind.

Having Treatments in the Privacy of your Home

Residential tanning beds are probably the epitome of convenience in the pursuit of gorgeous skin. And if you use tanning salons, you can probably save money over the life of the bed. Provided you're not overzealous, you can maintain a great color too. And that's without having to spend hours lying on the beach. Most tanning beds have facial tanners that you can use to lightly tan your face without exposing it too much. And if you add up how much you would spend at the tanning salon over the average life span of a residential tanning bed, its easy to see how it would pay for itself.
