Tanning outdoors is hard work!

Why not have your very own tanning bed? Tanning beds can take the equivalent of 2 hours outside in the hot sun and give you the same great tan as 10 minutes in a tanning bed.

Tanning beds have come a long way since they were first created. Now, in addition to the stand lay-down tanning bed, you can buy a tanning bed where you stand up as well. This helps give a more even looking tan.

If you do decide to buy a tanning bed, make sure you wear eye protection and use indoor tanning lotions. The UV rays from a tanning bed can be harmful if their use is abused.

Always follow the directions that come with your new tanning bed. This will help you avoid burning, keep your skin healthy and help reduce wrinkles. Most tanning beds request you start slow and gradually build your tan over time. This is another reason why owning your own tanning bed can be helpful, because you won't have to make 100 trips to your local tanning salon.
