Super Bronzing Tanning Bed Vs. Stand Up Beds
If you are looking for a ways to extend your tan year-round, than you have most likely checked out indoor tanning options. Tanning salons sell numerous tanning packages based on the type of tanning bed you use and the power of the bed. There are also different styles of tanning beds. Some are lay down beds, while others are used while you are standing. Some beds offer facial tanning lamps built into the bed, while others do not. Indoor tanning is efficient in delivering quick results without sitting in the sun for hours to receive the same result.

Time Frame
-
When you tan there are different types of tanning bed. Lay down beds have different intensity. The higher the intensity of the bulbs in the bed, the less amount of time you can spend in the bed. Super bronzing beds offer high intensity bulbs. Twelve minutes is the maximum time that should be spent in a super bronzing bed. Stand up tanning booths are also popular due to their high intensity bulbs, and small amount of tanning time. Most stand up tanning sessions range between eight to 10 minutes maximum.
Coverage
-
There has been a long standing debate between coverage you receive in a horizontal bed as opposed to a standing tanning booth. Most tanning salons recommend that standing booths are used once or twice every few weeks to ensure a thorough tan with full coverage. Lay down beds commonly miss full coverage for your body unless you are commonly changing position through your session.
Considerations
-
Although standing beds are easier to use because you are standing, they are not as relaxing as a tanning bed. Standing beds are higher intensity and can be hotter in temperature than the bronzing beds. If tanning is a form of relaxation for you, the bronzing bed is a better choice for laying down, while still receiving a quick, efficient tan.
Hygiene
-
Tanning salons are required to disinfect each tanning bed after use. Using a tanning bed your skin is in constant contact with the acrylic bed surface. Some tanners would rather use a standing tanning booth so they do not have to worry about hygienic issues. heir skin is never in contact with the bed's surface. This prevents possible skin rash, or disease that can be passed through tanning beds that are not disinfected properly.
Warning
-
The bulbs are higher intensity in a standing tanning booth than a super bronze bed. This means that the ultraviolet rays being produced by the bed are stronger. If you use a standing booth, adjust your tanning time so your skin does not burn. This also means that your skin is browning at a faster rate, and will try to repair itself quicker than normal. There is speculation about how your skin handles quicker tanning times. Before you decide to change your style of tanning make sure you research these methods.
