Why Spray Tans Are the Safer Alternative to Tanning Beds
For years, tanning beds have been marketed as a quick and convenient way to get that golden glow. But what many people don’t realize is that tanning beds come with serious health risks, and most of the so-called “benefits” are myths.
At True Glow, we know you want radiant, sun-kissed skin without compromising your health. That’s why we’re here to bust the myths about tanning beds and explain why spray tans are the safer alternative.
Myth #1: “Tanning Beds Are Safer Than the Sun”
The Truth: Both expose you to harmful UV radiation. In fact, tanning beds often emit UVA and UVB rays at higher concentrations than natural sunlight. This increases your risk of premature aging, sunspots, and skin cancer.
Safer Alternative: A spray tan delivers the same bronzed look without exposing your skin to UV damage.
Myth #2: “Tanning Beds Give You a Base Tan to Prevent Burns”
The Truth: A “base tan” only provides the equivalent of SPF 3 or less. That’s far too low to protect you. Worse, achieving it requires exposing your skin to damaging UV rays in the first place.
Safer Alternative: With a spray tan, you get instant color without sacrificing skin safety.
Myth #3: “Tanning Beds Make Your Skin Healthier”
The Truth: Some claim tanning beds help with vitamin D production, but the risks far outweigh the benefits. UV exposure breaks down collagen, accelerates wrinkles, and causes lasting damage.
Safer Alternative: Get vitamin D safely from diet or supplements, not UV rays. Spray tans give you a glow without compromising your skin health.
Myth #4: “Spray Tans Look Fake”
The Truth: Technology and technique have advanced far beyond the orange, streaky tans of the past. At True Glow, we use premium products and custom application to ensure a natural, streak-free finish that’s tailored to your skin tone.
