Use A Facial Tanning Lamp Safely

Copyright (c) 2011 Sandra Tiffany

Facial tanning lamps have been around for many years. In 1955, my parents bought one and the entire family used the lamp to help with our skin blemishes, maintain a tan year round. In the 50's one was considered to be healthy looking if you were tanned and no one even considered the damage that was being done to our skin or the health hazards. After all it was the 50's and sun bathing or tanning never included sunscreen. Now it is an absolute must.

In order to maintain a tan that is full and even, it is suggested that you try a facial tanning lamp. Getting a beautiful glow on the face can be difficult and in some cases turning red can be an undesirable result. A golden brown glow is a healthy look and to achieve it you should spend no more than about 10-15 minutes with the facial fanning lamp.

Some of the popular facial tanning lamps are Sperti, CalSun, Solar, and Storm. Shop on line at eBay, Amazon, or specialty tanning stores. Their prices range greatly but I would not spend over $100 to $150 for one.

Buying an indoor tanning bed is also a great idea and so is having a facial tanning lamp built right into the tanning bed. The facial tanning lamp can be added to the tanning bed to provide the optimal tan for your face. Also, the facial tanning lamp part of the tanning bed can be turned off if a person doesn't want to tan their face.

Another tip to consider is if you are going to use a facial tanning lotion, a tan enhancing lotion should not be used because it leads to a sunburn and uneven tanning. If you want your face tanned and looking glowing, just face the bulb for 10 minutes and do not use tanning boosters. There are many products that will enhance a person's ability to tan and improve the look. Make sure you do your homework to purchase and use the product that will give you the results desired.

It is important to take care of your skin and make sure to use sunscreen, moisturizers, and good quality skin care products. A self tanning lotion may be a better option than a facial tanning bulb. Even though tanning bulbs have developed over the years to lessen the damage, there will still be some type of skin damage. Using a facial tanning lamp is one of the best ways to get the perfect tan on the face as well as match the face perfectly to the rest of the body. If it seems that your face isn't tanning, choose a darker self tanning lotion.

In any case, be sure to use tanning equipment carefully and safely, always employing sunscreen, moisturizers and other skin care products.
