DID YOU KNOW?? There are many health benefits to tanning...


Few people realize the great many number of health benefits that tanning can bring you. Research shows that tanning stimulates the release of beta-endorphins, our bodies “feel-good” hormones. This translates to positive psychological effects and well-being.

Indoor tanning is important all year round. In the summer, tanning outdoors can be incredibly dangerous for your health due to over-exposure, uneven exposure, more frequent sunburns, with a more depleted ozone layer. Meanwhile, indoor tanning regulates the ideal amount of “sunlight”, which keeps your skin safe from damage and burning.

In the winter, tanning is all the more important. With the little amount of sunlight available, particularly here in the Northeast, many people lack vitamin D, a compound that is critical to good health. Vitamin D is produced when your body is exposed to UV rays, however, in the winter with very short days and most people stuck indoors, vitamin D becomes scarce. Research shows that too little vitamin D leads to premature aging, low bone density, and possibly even cardiovascular disease.

Another possible benefit of tanning, especially in the winter, is dealing with SAD-seasonal affect disorder- also known as the “winter blues”. The US National Library of Medicine writes: “some people experience a serious mood change when the seasons change. They may sleep too much, have little energy, and also feel depressed.”

In addition to the above mentioned benefits, research has shown tanning reduces outbreaks of acne, may lower blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce the skins susceptibility to infections, and reduce stress.

The Sun Capsule VHR Super Cyclone also adds to the already safe and healthy benefits of indoor tanning, due to this particular type of tanning booth providing almost 4-times the UVA (browning rays) tanning power of a typical tanning bed with just the right amount of UVB to “trigger” your melanin reserves.  This means less exposure time to the UVB rays with the same great results.
