please note: Indoor tanning is only approved for cosmetic purposes. We provide the following information on the benefits of sun exposure for your education only.

We humans have a natural desire to embrace the sun and feel its warmth on our skin. The sun is vitally important to all life on our planet. Our very skin types have evolved as a response to how much sun was available to us. Our skin lightening in order to accept more sun as we migrated to less sunny locations. In this way, as well as through the tanning process, our skin uses pigment to naturally moderate our UV intake, allowing just enough UV to penetrate our skin.

Like most things in life, the benefits of UV exposure are most profound when combined with exercise and a healthy diet. In fact, studies have shown that UV exposure nearly doubles many of the beneficial effects of exercise. Moderate tanning is the best way to maximize the potential benefits of sun exposure while minimizing the potential risks of either too much or too little exposure.
