In a horizontal position, the tan in the foot area is better placed due to good blood circulation. It is possible to stay longer in a sunbeds - 20 minutes, but you should additionally gel the feet with gel to enhance the effect of the lamps. Experts say that the turbosolarium will provide a smoother and deeper tan due to the fact that there is a mirror reflection of ultraviolet rays. In fact, this type of capsule is preferable for many beauty salons, because a powerful ventilation system allows you to operate the equipment up to 18 hours a day without interruption.

Lamps in the solarium, which provide high-quality tan, do not last forever and need to be changed in time. When visiting a tanning studio, ask for a certificate in which the owners are required to make notes on the replacement of lamps. If there is no such paper, it is better to choose another salon for tanning. It is also worth paying attention to the decor and cleanliness of the room. In public places there is a high probability of catching some disease.

Reviews

Marina, 23, Moscow

I go to the solarium only in the winter. I spend on 6-8 procedures, 1 time in three days. Prefer vertical capsules. For 15-20 days I get a smooth chocolate color. Due to the fact that I am dark from birth, it is easier for me to achieve a saturated color than others. There are no problems with the skin, because I have a whole bag of protective creams and nourishing lotions that I use before and after the procedure. I advise everyone to choose one salon and visit only it.

Gregory, 38 years old, Saratov

I undergo a complex procedure in the salon of artificial tanning twice a year: before the New Year holidays and then before February 23. I prefer a horizontal capsule. My first experience ended in failure: the skin became very dry, in some places there were reddening. This was due to the fact that creams for and after tanning acquired through the Internet in a Chinese store, and they did not fulfill their function. From now on, I follow all the precautions and buy only expensive and high-quality means of protection. Dark almost all year.
