My beauty is now

Many of us dream of a beautiful tan. The point is not even that we all so want to be a brownish-case, rather, in a general belief that a tan masks all the real and imaginary shortcomings of the skin and can even throw a cosmetic foundation. Truly beauty demands victims? But is it really useful for sunburn, as we believe that we women? And whether to spend money on it, and health? And whether or not tanning is really a salvation for fans year-round tan?

Beauty Industry In the early twentieth century concept of "beauty" and "tan" were synonymous, and the first entered the fashion for a tan women from higher strata of society. They are basking on the gorgeous beaches, then to a grand living flash sunburned backs. Sunburn personified not only the beauty, it also symbolized wealth, idleness – in short, everything that we still combine sweet notion of "luxury". It is thanks to these women in subsequent years, the so-called "fashion to be healthy and had particular direction in the economy – the fitness industry. But already from the fitness industry gemmated separate line, for which the Russian language did not raise yet even a special writing – wellness, from the English word "well" – "good". This word stands for all that we do at beauty salons, spas, saunas, baths, ID in order to be healthy and beautiful. The concept of "wellness" includes visits to the solarium. With the advent of the Earth's atmosphere ozone holes tan outdoors was obviously unsafe pastime – Doctors around the world are alarmed at the increasing number of oncological diseases. The relationship between sunlight and increasing incidence of malignant melanoma – and it can evolve very ordinary mole, – can be traced quite clearly. But the fashion for a tan is still there and it looks like there will be a long time – just look at any, even the most modest health club or beauty salon. The list of services offered there is sure to be a solarium. The mechanism of tanning under the influence of sunlight in the skin begins to produce specific cells – melanocytes that contain melanin pigment, whose mission – to protect the skin from solar ultraviolet radiation. The more we are in the sun, the more melanin begins to serve on the newly formed cells. It is useful – or maybe bad? Solar, natural UV light is divided into three groups according to wavelength: UV-A and UV-B and UV-C. Previously it was thought that the main cause of sunburn and skin aging is ultraviolet radiation type A, but recent studies have demonstrated that type B rays penetrate the skin more deeply and destroy the collagen layer, "responsible" for maintaining skin elasticity and smoothness. Rays with the same type did not reach the Earth's surface – they hold the ozone layer in the atmosphere. However, the ozone layer each year is made thinner and thinner, and countries such as Australia, faced with the problem of "ozone hole" are experiencing unprecedented growth in the number of cancers. In short, very tan and very harmful. But there is another side to this coin. According to the World Health Organization, the number of suicides in the countries located close to the Arctic Circle – Iceland, the Scandinavian countries – sharply increases during the cold season. This is due to the fact that the lack of sunlight leads to severe depression, a person begins to see the world, so to speak, "in black. To the ominous specter of depression is not obscured the light before the eyes of the inhabitants of northern countries, doctors recommend it as you can spend more time in the light of day, as under the influence of the most ominous of ultraviolet rays in the human body produces endorphins – chemicals that cause pleasure. The lack of endorphins leads to severe depression. And what is happening in Russia? Russia – a typical Nordic country, and the lack of sunlight in the winter time, there is quite acute. Besides, there are some vitamins such as vitamin D3, which are formed in the skin just under the influence of sunlight. And the short northern summer is clearly not enough for you to provide us with the necessary reserves of these substances. In this case, come to the aid of the solarium.Solaria – what is it and what they "eat" Solaria – are the machines that produce radiation, nearly identical solar, influenced by the skin begins to produce melanocytes, and thus achieved its desired shade. Solariums are several types: home and professional. Differences between domestic and professional tanning beds are as follows: in home tanning lamps, a small number (24), they usually require a voltage of 220 V, cooling fans are switched off, along with lamps, thin bottom glass, maintains no more than 110 kg, no meter running time of lamps less durable mechanical elements. The main thing you need to know who wants to use the services of a home tanning – is that if you want to get enough of a dark tan, you have to spend at home solariums more time than in a professional, because wattage – small, and their number – less than professional. But for those who intend to only slightly improve the color and add the "general health" exhausted winter avitaminosis and body, home version of the solarium fit perfectly. Professional solarium characterized by the following features: a large number of lamps can be used by high-power lamps that provide an opportunity to get a full tan almost 5-10 minutes (in your home you will need 20-30 minutes), electronic control, the presence of the fan that allows you to protect it from overheating, the customer solarium; additional service: radio, mechanical lift, etc. (And it is interesting and has a client) requires a separate well-equipped rooms with electrical wiring on 380 and ventilation. Generally, "solar" arithmetic is very simple: the more lamps in the tanning and more powerful than they are, the less time you need to get sunburn. High-pressure lamps typically have a capacity of 160-180 Tues Such lamps in the solarium on the average may be 40-48 units. And this type of tanning is very suitable for those who value their time. But beware: with the largest number of lamps and high power tanning session should not exceed 10-15 minutes. The first session in a tanning generally should not last more than 5-7 minutes. Solariums average power, for example, with 100-watt lamps, allow soak longer. The first session, in a solarium is usually 10-15 minutes. Professional solarium also divided into vertical and horizontal, it all depends on the preferences of the client. There are also turbo solarium, they get a better comfort, as they present the most thorough to date cooling system, and you are not in danger of "overheating in the sun." Rules solarium If, despite all the warnings about the dangers of sunburn you've decided that without the gold skin tone you can not do, try to always observe the following rules: 1.Pered visit to the solarium, consult a physician. Absolutely contraindicated in people sunbathing, taking tranquilizers and tricyclic antidepressants, nonsteroidal painkillers and antibiotics. These drugs increase the sensitivity of the skin and can trigger allergies. In addition, the solarium is contraindicated in people with a lot of moles on the body, since it can provoke degeneration of a mole into a malignant melanoma – a cancer to be constituted in many cases in place of brown nevus (mole) and consisting of melanocytes. 2.If your doctor has given approval for the adoption of "sunshine" baths, your task – as carefully as possible to treat the choice of solarium. If the owners of tanning to splurge and invited to the teams that you immediately advise tan just as much as is recommended for people of your type of appearance – and not a second longer. When you hear the "sweet speech" that "in our so
larium, you can sunbathe for an hour without any harm to health", immediately run out! 3.Uznayte, the last time replace the bulb in the solarium. The maximum allowable time lamp – 540 hours. If the lamps were replaced recently, decrease the time spent in solarium: the probability of burn increases substantially. 4.Pered so as to lie down in a capsule, ask where is the button emergency stop device. The feeling that you can always stop on their own conversation, will give you a sense of confidence.Immediately before a session so you came to the salon or health club that is hosting the solarium. You know, of course, how your skin reacts to the sun, but the individual reaction to the solarium may still differ slightly from the expected. Therefore, we should start with a very small amount of time and gradually increase the time spent in the solarium. In a good salon you will immediately be offered a cap, special sun glasses, plastic cone, protecting the nipple. You can comfortably undress, wash your hands, and before the capsule will be snug special mat. Before tanning sessions to remove all the skin cosmetics. Remove jewelry. Do not spend the day beauty treatments (cleansing of the skin, peeling, etc.). This is a very large load on the skin. Valid only nourishing and moisturizing mask after the session. Have not visited before tanning sessions bath or sauna – these procedures deprive the skin of its natural protection, and the result of "sunbathing" can be burned. Also, before a session should not be washed with soap and water. Take advantage of special facilities for tanning in a solarium. They probably will be available in the same cabin. They will reinforce the tanning and minimize harmful effects. During the session, protect hair scarf or hat, and his lips brush with moisturizing balsam. Cover the breast or even use special stickers for the nipples. Sunburn in the chest is extremely harmful. Visiting tanning increases the rate of metabolism, so after the session, try to relax a bit. Do not do this day no physical work. Never use a solarium for two consecutive days. The result of a session in the solarium – depending on skin type first type. If you have the blue or green eyes, blond hair, light, easily irritated skin to the sun and the scattering of small freckles (called the Celtic type) – tan you contraindicated. If you want passion as the solarium – Spread a sunscreen with a high degree of protection. Let tan will hardly noticeable, but the skin will stay young and beautiful. People first type of tanning is very bad – mostly burn. When using special tools before, during and after the session turns light tan with a yellowish tinge. To achieve the desired swarthiness, you need to take seven – 8 sessions of 10 minutes no more than twice a week. The first session – no more than 3 – 5 minutes. The second type. If you have green, brown or blue eyes, brown hair and a tendency to sunburn, skin (Nordic type) – Lights up for 10 minutes no more than three times a week. After the first session, take a break for two – three days. The first session also lasts no more than 3 – 5 minutes. You need 5 – 6 sessions. Sunburn is enough beautiful shades, the main thing – do not overdo it! This time will be enough to get the desired hue. A third type. If you have dark eyes, dark hair, light brown or brown and fairly light skin (Central European type) – you can sunbathe for 20 minutes at no more than three times a week. After the first session – a two-day break. You also need 5 – 6 sessions. Sunburn you will have a fairly intense, but unstable. You have to use a solarium once or twice a week, otherwise the tan fades rapidly under the influence of water and detergents. The fourth type. When your dark skin, brown eyes and dark hair (Mediterranean type) – for a beautiful tan you just enough three sessions of 20 minutes. Sunburn is a bright, easily maintained – visits to the solarium once a week would be enough to maintain the illusion that you're only two weeks since returning from the Canary Islands. Pros and cons of tanning Despite the fact that there are always fans of a solarium for twelve consecutive months, Doctors do not recommend to carry out a series of sessions more often than twice a year. In fact, many believe that tanning in a solarium tan is much better, resulting in a natural way, and perhaps in something they're right: after all, worked on the construction of tanning specialists, moreover, each year there are more "advanced" and the safer model. If wisely dosing sessions, you can completely forget about the risk of sunburn. More should be noted that solar tan often falls unevenly, since the inner surfaces of the arms and legs do not tan as strong as the surface of other parts of the body.The most even tan in solariums is obtained, which are specially designed form, repeated bending of the human body. "Solar" As far as cosmetics makeup, which is offered in solariums, it is traditionally subdivided into two major groups: cosmetics before tanning and cosmetics after, but its creators pursue the same goal: to protect the skin from the slightest harm and to "hold" on her tan in a can for a longer time. Cosmetics to tan contains special substances which contribute to sunburn, and reduces the formation of pigment cells. When you come to the solarium and undressed, carefully rub lotion or oil for tanning. This tool will protect your skin from excessive dryness and help it better "absorb" radiation. As part of this does not include cosmetic sun protection factor, so its use in the open air is not recommended. Cosmetics after the sun has an intense soothing and cooling effect. Immediately after the solarium is necessary to put lotion on your skin, contributing to the appearance of sunburn and securing it to the skin. All similar cosmetics made specifically for a particular type of looks, and the use of people of Celtic type of cosmetics for the Mediterranean type is unhelpful. And another thing: if you decide to take a shower after tanning, give up the scrubs and products containing soap. Use only very mild for sensitive skin. Guard – burning! "If you get a sunburn, do not panic: a light burn will take place independently. Your challenge – drink plenty of fluid, and grease the burning light moisturizer such as baby milk, or the same infamous yogurt, which once treated us in such situations, our grandmothers. You can also get advice in the cabin – but most likely they will advise you all the same sour, because it is the best tool. With severe burns should consult your doctor. Attend a solarium and tanning in the sun in the same day is not recommended. Pamper face in the winter if you want to make a tender, golden brown face in the winter, when the body is covered with clothes and you did not find it necessary to take care of him as thoroughly as in the summer time (although this, of course, is not quite correct), you can use special UV lamps to the face – they can purchase their own. Special mini-tanning for face and neckline is also a tanning studio. Of course, solarium – a good thing, allowing us to easily maintain the beauty and fresh look in an urban setting where there is no possibility of relax on the beach and a tan the natural way. But here is whether to sunbathe? Decide. But in fact, a solarium does not apply to objects, without which man can not live. Experts are convinced of one thing: it is better not to sunbathe than sunbathe. Therefore, abandoning tanning You save your health and protect yourself as much as possible from malignant neoplasms.
