Tanning And Beauty

Whilst in some parts of the world, like Asia and India, pale skin is considered beautiful, in most Western cultures, people want a tan. We see pictures of models and bronzed Hollywood starlets, and see glamour. The suggestion of leisure and exotic destinations, and effortless beauty, is what we want. So, for our own sense of beauty, we try to copy that almost perfect skin complexion and tone. And just like those Hollywood starlets and beach babes, we are no less committed in the time we spend creating that tan. And luckily for us, there are a plethora of low cost options to assist us in our quest.

There are a lot of reasons to get a tan. Tans make us look slimmer, and are very flattering. They are a great accessory, and allow us to wear a greater range of colors, better. We seem healthier, and more relaxed, like we just came back from a vacation.

Its' one thing to want a tan, another to get one. Just sun baking gets boring rapidly, and is somewhat unreliable. It is impossible to control the intensity of the sun, therefore we're more apt to get burned than tanned, unless we have a good base tan to start with. Finding the time to lie int he sun is another thing. Compared to a session in a tanning bed, it can take hours and a lot of peeling to get a decent tan.

Of course, there's always the option of a tanning salon. But that has its' drawbacks as well. There's the traveling time for a start, then you have to fit the appointment into your schedule. And then there's hygiene. Whilst the antibacterial cleaners are good, there's nothing like having your own tanning bed for peace of mind.

Tanning in the Privacy of your Home

Residential tanning beds are probably the epitome of convenience in the pursuit of gorgeous skin. They are surprisingly affordable in the long run too. As long as you're sensible and don't overdo do it in the excitement of having your own tanning bed available 24/7, 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.
