Q. Why Tan?
Light is essential to all life on earth. There are various physiological and psychological reasons why exposure to light is desirable and necessary. There's a growing body of scientific evidence showing people actually require light exposure to function effectively. Light exposure causes the brain to suppress the release of the hormone melatonin that acts as a depressant in the body and exposure to light produces various health benefits, such as the production of the very necessary Vitamin D3 in the prevention of bone diseases (such as osteoporosis) and in the improvement of symptoms of psoriasis. People who are exposed to longer hours of bright light feel happier and are able to enjoy life. FDA regulations at the present time prevent the indoor tanning industry from making any medical representations or claims related to indoor tanning exposure. And of course, people know that a great tan looks good, feels good, and can add to personal confidence and attractiveness.

Q. Compare: Indoor (Controlled) Vs. Outdoor (Uncontrolled) Tanning
Indoor tanning technology provides the most efficient choice for individuals to obtain a cosmetic tan in a controlled exposure environment as opposed to the uncontrollable outside environment.

• Indoor tanning technology includes an exposure schedule that factors in individual skin type and appropriate time exposure.
• With indoor tanning you can tan at any time and aren't limited to daylight hours and weather conditions.
• With indoor tanning you can help ensure that you won't get a sunburn when following an appropriate time exposure.
• Outdoor sun exposure is an uncontrollable environment as no one can control the sun.
• Outdoor exposure varies in intensity depending on such factors as altitude, cloud cover, air pollutants, reflective surfaces, times of day and proximity to the equator.

• Outdoor sun exposure is an uncontrollable environment as no one can control the sun.

• Outdoor exposure varies in intensity depending on such factors as altitude, cloud cover, air pollutants, reflective surfaces, times of day and proximity to the equator.
