Climate change and its consequences, such as increased exposure to UV rays, are bringing the benefits of tanning in a solarium into focus. UV rays carry the risk of overdose as they are very difficult to control. Tanning in a tanning salon offers the option of dosing the duration, intensity and frequency suitable to skin type. And thus controlling it. This control option ensures the safety that you do not have when spending time under the natural sun, for example during outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, swimming, etc. The natural UV radiation cannot be controlled precisely. Neither in its dose nor in its intensity. We simply do not know how much UV radiation we have exposed ourselves to, for example, while hiking in the Alps or spending an afternoon on the beach in Mallorca. The options left to reduce the risk of UV overdose are: avoid the sun, use sun-blockers or wear UV-impermeable clothing. This deprives the skin of the opportunity to produce vitamin D naturally – a vitamin that is actually a hormone and controls vital processes in the body.

Keeping the sun’s rays off the skin also means losing the feeling of warmth, well-being and a great deal of joie de vivre. Beyond the researched effect of vitamin D formation through the sun, there are many other positive effects that sunbathing triggers in people and which are confirmed again and again by many users. They say that sunbathing is like a wellness treatment for the soul and an ideal way to relieve stress and relax. To have a moment for yourself. To recharge your batteries. For many people, lightly tanned skin also makes them feel beautiful. They are happier and more comfortable in their skin and enjoy the effect of looking healthier and having a more attractive appearance that comes with a natural tan. This gives self-confidence, which in turn makes us more upbeat and easier to go through life with.

Tanning in a solarium gives us the opportunity to benefit from all the positive effects of the sun’s UV spectrum through controlled risk, instead of exposing ourselves to the uncontrollable risks of the natural sun. We can build up a light tan without having to go on holiday or lie in the hot sun. We simply bring a piece of holiday into our everyday life. And with it a piece of happiness.
