Just as you would pre-condition your muscles before a long run or climb, it is a good idea to pre-condition your skin before subjecting it to long hours in the sun. Tanning the skin before vacations to climates where the skin
will be exposed to higher than usual amounts of ultraviolet light preconditions it to provide protection from sun burning and skin damage.

Tanning is the body's natural protection against sunburn. A gradual tan attained in a professional indoor tanning facility is an effective tool in the fight against sunburn for millions who take southern vacations.

The skin is designed to accommodate and ultilize ultraviolet light exposure.  Tanning is the body's natural response to ultraviolet light.

During outdoor tanning we are exposed to UVB rays. These rays are also called "The burning rays". They are intense rays that penetrate the top layer of the skin. UVB'S intensity can damage the skin by disrupting blood
vessels resulting in skin damage and sunburn.

UVA is a longer ray that penetrates more slowly making it less likely to cause sunburn - UVA rays are called "the tanning rays". Indoor tanning lamps use carefully researched combinations of UVB and UVA rays designed
specifically to tan the skin with minimal risk to sunburn.

Indoor tanning is efficient and provides a measure of control over the tanning process that never could be achieved lying in the sun. The goal of indoor tanning is to provide just enough UV exposure to tan the skin without
burning, building slowly to a desirable color. With a tan, the skin has achieved a natural SPF of about 4. This means you can be in the sun longer before burning.

This is not to say you do not need sun protection when on holiday to that tropical paradise. While sunscreens are not necessary in a tanning bed using it outdoors is important. Also important is to protect your eyes with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.

Remember smart tanners don't let themselves get sunburned!
