Spray tan or tanning bed: what is better to choose
When comparing the use of spray tan and tanning beds, it is important to evaluate the methods of use and the possible consequences of each option. SSPDaily has told you about the features of tanning beds and sprays.
How the two options work
A special spray provides a simple and convenient application process at home. It can be applied evenly to the skin without the need for exposure to ultraviolet radiation. In contrast, a tanning bed requires several sessions and regular care to achieve the desired results, which can lead to an uneven tan and harmful effects of UV rays on the skin.
Durability
Tans obtained with sprays usually last for several weeks and then gradually fade, but they can be easily reapplied as needed to maintain the desired skin color. Tanning beds usually last longer, but prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause some skin problems.
Safety and health risks
In terms of safety and health risks, the important point is that using a self-tanning product is a safer alternative because it does not expose the skin to harmful UV radiation. The use of tanning beds is associated with an increased risk of skin cancer and premature aging due to excessive UV exposure. However, it should be borne in mind that the cream is not completely safe either.
Cost
Self-tanning is usually more affordable. While a tanning bed requires ongoing expenses, a tanning cream is a one-time purchase that can be used several times at home. This makes it a more cost-effective option for those who want to maintain a good look within their budget.
