Ia biasanya bukan idea yang baik untuk menggunakan pelindung matahari di katil penyamakan, dan inilah sebabnya:
1. Ada masalah dengan tujuan.
Pelindung matahari direka untuk menghalang atau menyerap sinaran UV. Ini menghalang anda daripada terlalu terbakar matahari atau menjadi coklat.
Tanning beds use UV radiation to make your skin go brown.
Sunscreen stops you from getting a tan. So using a tanning bed is pointless if you’re going to wear sunscreen.
2. Things to think about to keep you safe:
If you use a tanning bed, you’re exposing yourself to strong UV rays, which can be very dangerous.
How your skin changes with age
Sunburn
Skin cancer, including the very dangerous type called melanoma.
Sunscreen can reduce some of the risks, but it won’t make tanning beds completely safe.
3. Things people do sometimes
Some people use low-SPF sunscreens or tanning lotions in bed to:
Make sure you protect sensitive areas.
Make sure you don’t get burned.
Help people to tan more evenly or gradually.
These are not sunscreens. They are made for use with tanning beds.
4. If you still want to use something,
If you want to use a tanning bed but want to be protected, look for:
Lotions that give you a sun tan indoors, which also have bronzers or moisturisers in them.
Make your lips feel better by using SPF lip balm (because they are very sensitive).
Cover up tattoos and scars with sun cream or clothes.
