FIVE EXCELLENT REASONS to tan moderately indoors

FIVE EXCELLENT REASONS to tan moderately indoors

1. VITAMIN D
Vitamin D is the 'sunshine vitamin' which is essential for good health. 3000 peer-reviewed academic studies were published linking vitamin D to positive health outcomes in 2009 alone. Regular, moderate tanning in a non-burning fashion can be an excellent way to maintain your vitamin D levels for optimum health.

2. SUNSHINE BOOST
Moderate tanning stimulates the metabolism, much like exercise does, so the heat won't just last for the duration of your session... the tanning pick-me-up will last all day.

3. A NATURAL HIGH
Many tanners think that it's the heat of the sunbed that makes them feel relaxed. Actually, it's the UV light's effect on your body. Sunlight (UV light) helps you to make 'happy hormones' like serotonin and endorphins- natural, chemical-free, substances which make you feel happier and more content. Usually this is the effect that prompts people to say tanning is 'addictive'. As long as your tanning is moderate and ALWAYS happens in a non-burning fashion, your addiction is much like being addicted to going to the gym.

4. LOOK TERRIFIC
It goes without saying... ever since Coco Chanel famously made a tan desirable when she returned from a yachting trip in 1909 'accidentally' sporting a golden tan... to the fabulous California beach tan lifestyle made famous in the 60s... pale people around the globe have embraced the aesthetic joy of a natural bronzed look.

5. GOING ON HOLIDAY?
Thousands of tanners have reported that the best way to get a base tan prior to your 'hot climate' holidays is a course of tanning before you go. The skin is designed to develop a tan in order to protect you from burning. Take your pale skin away and you are much more likely to get a dangerous and uncomfortable sunburn. Tanners say, starting a course of indoor tanning with AT LEAST three weeks to spare before their holiday gives them time to build a gradual natural base tan protection, and they enjoy their trip so much more!
