Tanning Bed Supplies

There are various tanning bed supplies on the market that are designed to increase the enjoyment we get from home tanning beds or tanning salon sun tan bed sessions. I have listed some of the most popular tanning bed supplies, parts and accessories below.

Safety First: it is essential to wear some form of eye protection and many salons require the use of goggles or glasses. You can follow suit at home by hanging up a sign expressing your house rules and providing a pair of glasses.

Tanning Bed Bulbs: I have covered tanning bed bulbs, lamps or tubes elsewhere on this web site, so I will not repeat my self here. Suffice it to say that your bulbs have to be changed regularly, according to the manufacturer's recommendation. These essential tanning bed supplies may well 'keep burning' after their expiry date but their power output may be severely reduced.

Tanning Bed Lotions: these are the second most common tanning bed supplies. Indoor tanning lotions are in fact the very opposite of conventional suntan lotion, which is designed to prevent sun tanning or sun burn. The purpose of indoor sun tan lotion is to increase the effects of ultraviolet light to make you tan more quickly.

This is commonly achieved by increasing the flow of melanin to the top layers of the skin. This is brought about by either adding melanin to the lotion or by stimulating the body's own supply of melanin.

The tingle factor is the term used to describe how the stimulation of melanin is achieved by chemical irritants. There is no guaranteed method of rating this tingle factor although some manufacturers do try. The problem is that a tanning bed lotion that has no tingle effect on one person, may produce mild pain in another person.

The other purpose of indoor tanning lotions is to moisturize the skin. Tanning, both indoor and out, dries the skin, and intensive tanning can accelerate the process. Adding moisturizer to the lotion attempts to seal the skin's natural moisture in the skin. These tanning bed supplies usually contain less alcohol than regular skin moisturizers.

Physical Comforts: some of next most popular tanning bed supplies include fans, radios, towels, cushions and pillows and hair and nail protectors. The hair protector is for people whose hair tends to frazzle under a tanning bed lamp. Some people believe their nails suffer too.

Other Tanning Bed Supplies: some people like to put a fun sticker on their skin when they go under a tanning lamp. When you remove the sticker after the tanning session you have a free, painless and removable tattoo.

Some people believe that some capsules increase the effectiveness of ultraviolet rays and they like to take one a few hours before the tanning session. I have no idea whether they are effective or not.

Other essential tanning bed supplies are cleaning and deodourizing fluids and disinfectant, which most people at home and all commercial tanning salons and spas use after each session to prevent the spread of skin diseases like dermatitis.

Finally, you can get tanning bed rebuilds or repair kits to keep your tanning bed in tip-top condition should some unfortunate accident happen to it.
