TO QUESTIONS] Will a salon tan at Union Tropical Zone help protect my skin from sunburn?
In most cases, yes. A tan is your body’s natural protection against sunburn. The amount of protection received depends on the type of equipment used. Some of the newest quartz lamp sunbeds and booths with “pure UVA” output offer faster color but less sunburn protection than more common sunbed designs. The traditional sunbeds – including the beds at Union Tropical Zone – use both UVA and UVB rays to offer an increased resistance to sunburn. A tan is your body’s natural defense against the sun, and may reduce your chances of burning when you are outdoors. Of course, we always recommend that our customers wear a sunscreen of some sort (preferably an SPF15) if they are going to be outdoors. Remember: the number one rule of a smart tanner is to Never Burn!
