TANNING ZONE
WHERE TANNING IS OUT OF THIS WORLD

In our salon we have a tanning professional seated behind the counter, there to tell you, based on your individual skin type, how long your session should be and which level of equipment you should be using. As well, this professional should be able to guide you to the right lotions to use to better enhance the colour of your tan and the quality of skin care needed by your individual skin type. Having access to this professional on your side must be safer than outdoor tanning. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL...

Ever get so relaxed under the sun that your few minutes of catching some rays turn into hours of scorching exposure followed by days of terrible pain and weeks of ugly peeling of destroyed cells? Modern indoor tanning units all come equipped with precise timing devices that shut off the lights automatically...no chance of overexposure because you fall asleep...this must be safer than outdoor tanning. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL...

Ever want to tan or finally find some time to tan but lo and behold...NO SUNSHINE!! Can't happen at TANNING ZONE! Here the sun is always shinning. This must be seen as healthier for the skin than outdoor tanning. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL...

BENEFITS OF TANNING
One of the most significant benefits of regular modest exposure to UV radiation is the production of vitamin D. Exposure of the skin to UVB radiation is the only method the human body has of producing vitamin D. New evidence supports a crucial role of vitamin D in reducing the risks of developing prostate, breast, colon and skin cancers.

A second significant benefit of regular modest exposure to UV radiation is the generation of a natural defence mechanism. The skin thickens and produces pigment in response to UV radiation, thus generating a natural SPF between 2 and 6. This protects the skin from eventual damage when exposed to excessive UV radiation.

A third significant benefit of regular modest UV exposure in a tanning bed is the reproducibility of the UV exposure. Each exposure for indoor tanning enthusiasts is the same as the previous one. Tanning beds deliver reliable consistent doses of UV radiation. In contrast, the natural sun can vary as much as 100% daily as well as hourly during the same day.
