What are the benefits of tanning for men?

There's no doubt that tanning improves our appearance. That's why men are increasingly consciously visiting tanning salons. They want to enhance their muscles, be more attractive, and simply feel better.

What to do in a tanning bed? 5 tips for men.

There's always a first time. We bet you were just as confused and stressed before your first trip to the gym. Tanning beds aren't as scary as they make them out to be! Just follow these tips to achieve the perfect bronzed complexion. Whether you're looking to tan before the season or define your muscles, tanning beds are the perfect way to achieve it!

1. Prepare your skin before tanning

Exfoliating and moisturizing your skin? Sounds strange? Believe me, women need to do it too! It's best to exfoliate your entire body the day before your tanning session. This will leave your skin smooth and better prepared to absorb the ingredients in tanning products. This, in turn, will help your tan last much longer.

When it comes to moisturizing your skin, you need to find a lotion that suits you not only in terms of ingredients and consistency, but also in terms of scent. From now on, you should use it almost daily. This will make your skin look much healthier, and your tan will retain its sun-kissed glow for a long time.

2. Find your favorite tanning salon

Ask your friends, search online, browse reviews, and find the perfect salon for you. Ideally, it should be close to your workplace or home—we all like to have everything at our fingertips, especially in a hectic life. Perhaps there's a recommended tanning salon near the gym? You'll have to check it out!

Once you're there, ask if the beds are disinfected. Also, check if the ventilation is working properly. It's also worth asking the staff about the estimated lifespan of the lamps. Lamps that last longer than 800 hours are more worn and provide less tan.

3. Use men's tanning lotion

One of the most important things is using the right tanning products . These aren't the same as moisturizing lotions, which you should use daily. These are specially formulated formulas that accelerate tanning and enhance its effects.

Our selection includes several balms for men. To start, we recommend the HE Bronzing Accelerator , which will not only ensure a perfect tan but also provide proper skin care. It's enriched with the Pronalen Sport Re-Energizer complex, which balances the skin's macronutrient levels, while other ingredients, such as silk, sesame oil, and pomegranate extract, intensely moisturize and reduce the first signs of aging.

For men who haven't used a tanning bed in a while, we recommend the V8 Tingle Effect Tanning Lotion . It may cause a tingling or burning sensation, but don't worry. It stimulates increased circulation, thus accelerating the tanning process. Aloe vera extract and shea butter ensure proper hydration and epidermal regeneration, while fruit extracts combined with vitamin E have a firming effect.

4. Wear tanning goggles in the solarium

Many people avoid wearing sunglasses while tanning for fear of developing white spots around the eyes. This is a mistake! In reality, the skin around the eyelids is very delicate and should be taken care not to burn it. Sunglasses are essential. Remember, they must be chosen and positioned properly. An alternative to sunglasses is the use of special eye covers.

5. Use the solarium regularly, but only for a short time

Regular, short tanning sessions protect against the risk of burns. The first session should be as short as possible (about 5 minutes), and subsequent sessions can be gradually lengthened. Remember, you can only see the final results after about 24 hours. You need to give your skin some time to regenerate before your next tanning session.

Summary

If you use tanning beds wisely, you can count on satisfactory results. Remember, a healthy and attractive body isn't just about a tan. Exercise regularly, stick to a healthy diet, and drink plenty of water – these are the keys to success.
