Solarium and women's issues

Are you having "those days"? Did you just find out you're pregnant? Or are you breastfeeding? Regardless of which of the above applies to you, you should know if you can use a tanning bed then.

Solarium and period

Menstruation is included on the lists of contraindications to tanning posted in most tanning salons. Why? Most often, avoiding tanning is a way to prevent potential negative consequences resulting from the body's heating during tanning bed use. Everyone's body experiences "those days" differently, but there can be situations where a few minutes of exposure to the sun in a tanning bed, accompanied by the heat emitted by the lamps, can cause weakness, fainting, and in extreme cases, bleeding. This is why it is recommended that women with heavy periods avoid tanning during their periods. Another important aspect is hygiene, as infections are more likely to occur during menstruation. However, experience shows that in most cases, women choose to use a tanning bed during the last days of their period, when the risk of the consequences described above is significantly lower. Regardless of when you decide to visit the solarium, remember to observe hygiene, and if you feel any discomfort while tanning, you can press the stop button at any time and end the session.

Sunbathing and breastfeeding

One of the most frequently searched phrases and a constantly asked question is about tanning while breastfeeding. New mothers who avoided tanning during pregnancy and want to build their tan often wonder about the potential consequences of tanning while breastfeeding. Experts advise that if in doubt, consult a doctor to determine whether your health allows for such activities or beauty treatments. However, if you're breastfeeding, you should be aware of the discomfort that may occur after tanning. A woman's breasts are very delicate areas of the body, and their sensitivity is heightened during breastfeeding , so it's essential to protect them from excessive radiation. In other words, even if the entire body responds well to tanning, the breasts, especially the nipples, should be covered to avoid irritation.

Some women also worry about the quality of their milk after using a tanning bed. However, there's no evidence yet that tanning affects breast milk. In summary: if you're a breastfeeding mother, avoid topless tanning or ensure your breasts are adequately protected from UV exposure. If you have any concerns about breastfeeding and tanning, consult your doctor.

Sunbathing in a solarium during pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time in a woman's life when it's best to avoid tanning . There are several reasons for this. The first is the hormonal changes that occur in a woman's body. For many of us, pregnancy is a true revolution, and therefore it's difficult to predict all of our body's reactions, including those to tanning, even if it's been a completely natural and problem-free process for us until now. Exposure to the sun or solarium, combined with increased skin sensitivity, can lead to irritation or burns. The hormonal changes mentioned above can also lead to skin discoloration, even if this hasn't affected you before. These skin changes are most often visible on the face and as a vertical dark line on the abdomen (known as the linea nigra ).

Some experts also point to a link between sun exposure and folic acid levels. This nutrient, a supplement most often associated with pregnancy and essential for proper fetal development, degrades under the influence of intense UV radiation, thus losing its valuable properties.
