Question 1

What exactly is UV or ultra violet light?

Accepted Answer

The four main elements are sunlight, air, water and earth. If we did not have any one of these elements we simply would not exist!. There would be no life without the sun and sunlight. However as we all know too much of a good thing is also not a good thing and this applies to sunlight and ultra violet light rays.
UV or ultra violet light (rays) are emitted by the sun and comprise of three different types: UVA, UVB and UVC. UVC rays are the most dangerous to humans but fortunately these are filtered out in the earth atmosphere. UVB rays (the ones which cause sunburn) and UVA rays do reach the earth`s surface. The exact strength of UVB and UVA varies dramatically depending upon where you live and the on the position of the sun. UVB and UVA levels are always the highest between the hours of 11am and 1pm. Infact UV levels can increase as much as 50% during this time!.
Ultra violet or UV light is actually invisible, this is one reason people sunburn as they are unaware of the intensity and the amount of time they are exposing themselves to the suns rays. On average sunbathers expose themselves to sunlight around 3 to 3.5 hours per day. Unfortunately this is too long and people don't realise they have burnt their skin until it is too late!.
Sunbed lamps or tubes simulate the sun and emit UVA and UVB but they go a stage further and control the output with a balance of UV to minimise the risk of burning and maximise the tanning. As we know – no-one controls the sun but you can control a sunbed by making sure you do not over expose your tanning by sticking to a specific sunbed exposure times. The exposure times are calculated in accordance with your particular skin type, which varies from Type 1 to Type 6.

Question 2

How Does A Sunbed Give You A Tan?

Accepted Answer

A sunbed is a mechanical tanning device that emits ultraviolet (UV) light or rays to make the body produce a tan. People often use a sunbed hire to obtain a quick and easy tan before a special occasion like a wedding or before going on holiday. Many people choose to hire a sunbed at home use them on a regular basis to maintain a more tanned look.
The first sunbed to emit UV light was invented in 1906 by a German company and was used to help people increase their vitamin D levels. However it wasn't until the 1970`s that sunbeds arrived to mainland Europe, after people realised that by using a sunbed hire they would get an even all over tan.
Tanning is achieved by exposing your skin to UVA and UVB light. The tanning process occurs when skin is exposed UVB and UVA light. Cells underneath your skin called melanocyte cells produce a pigment called melanin which travels to the surface of your skin to produce a tan.

Question 3

How Do I Keep My Suntan For A Long Time?

Accepted Answer

To keep your recent holiday or sunbed tan for much longer simply stick to the following tips and advice and see that precious tan last. Before you go away on holiday or start to use a sunbed it is important to make sure that you exfoliate well to ensure you remove all the dead skin cells and give your body as smooth base before you start to tan.

Once you have your golden tan you can prevent uneven suntan fading by cleansing with a balm cleanser and gently exfoliating the skin in the morning and night. To extend the tan remember to exfoliating very gently and moisturising as much as possible to prevent your skin from becoming dry. It is also important to keep drinking plenty of water when you are in the sun or using a sunbed to keep your skin hydrated.
