Home tanning is a market that is starting to, if not already, booming. And in fact home tanning is becoming such a popular market that tanning beds/booths are finding their way into more and more homes. But even though this whole market is growing, does it offer any advantages compared to going to a tanning salon? After all, the salons can buy and maintain more powerful tanning beds so how does that compare to the tanning beds you can have at home?
Tanning Bed
The first thing to look at is usage. Yes a salon tanning bed is probably more powerful, but it is more than likely used about 20 times a day whilst a tanning bed at home would be used once or twice daily. Also, commercial tanning beds have a very high-tech lamp system in, but in all fairness so do the ones at home, and there is no great deal of difference in the results. I would say in the whole though commercial beds are probably a bit more robust, but that really does not come in to what we are comparing here.
Convenience of Tanning At Home
One of the main reasons though, that people are opting to buy a tanning bed for the home is more convenience than anything else. Being able to get a tan whenever it suits them regardless of time of day or the weather. Also, privacy is a big factor as well, some people are just plain uncomfortable stripping off in a public place even if it is meant to be private. And finally not only will you be saving money with your own tanning bed on the tan itself but also you will be saving on the money normally spent commuting to the tanning salon itself.
Conclusion
The final question is will a home tan be as good as a salon tan? Personally I would say yes, but lets recap and look at the whole picture First of all convenience i.e. you can tan when it suits you. I think that really is the biggest plus to getting your own bed, especially as winter time comes and you do not feel like leaving the house anyway. Privacy, if you are the kind of person who wants an all over tan, then tanning at home is pretty much the only way you are going to be able to do this in the knowledge that you are not being spied on. And finally cost, you really do not need to spend thousands on a commercial, a domestic use tanning bed is just as good and yes you may have to pay a little more for electricity and bulbs, but the electricity is minimal and the bulbs last a good length of time anyway. And when you start to compare those expenditures against the expenditure or commuting to and from a tanning salon and then paying fro the bed session itself, I am sure you will agree tanning at home is a winner every time
