KISS Hair, Nails, Beauty

KISS Hair, Nails and Beauty is situated in Las Rampas Fuengirola and we have been here for 5 years in August! Our dedicated team offer a full range of hair, beauty and nail treatments for men and women of all ages. Our mission is to provide high quality, professional services at affordable prices to everyone. We have a Tan Sun vertical sunbed unit and with some great offers this month don’t miss your chance for that spring tan.

With so much misinformation in the public domain about responsible sunbed use, I would like to offer some useful information and advice on who can and how to use sunbeds.

DID YOU KNOW?

7% of the UK’s population uses a sunbed
70% of people want to be tanned
95% of sunbed users do not exceed the Europen standard on maximum number of sessions per year
38% of sunbed users do so for a pre holiday tan
83% of sunbed users claim to be quite or very knowledgeable of the possible risks from over exposure to UV

Looking good and feeling great are the two main reasons why people tan and why over 3 million people in the UK use a sunbed each year. Sounds mad as we are lucky enough to live in the sun, but as most of us work and lead very busy lives, we don’t always get the opportunity to enjoy the real sun! Whether you are about to go off on holiday, start your summer tan, have a special occasion looming, or simply want that sun kissed look all year round, responsible sunbed use is the perfect partner for achieving your golden glow.

The main benefit of being tanned is seen as looking good and feeling healthier, whilst the sun protection factor from a sunbed tan does not provide total protection, people having a base tan are less likely to over expose themselves in the natural sun.

UV rays, UVC, UVB and UVA are emitted by the sun. The intensity depends on the angle of the sun ie geographical position, season and time of day, UV levels can increase by up to 50% between 11 and 1pm. UV is invisible, people outdoors are exposed to varying levels of UV and they are often unaware of the UV intensity, unfortunately warnings of sunburn often come too late. Sunbed lamps simulate the sun and emit UVA and UVB but they go a stage further and control the output with a balance of UV to minimise the risk of burning and maximise the tanning. As we know no one controls the sun! Sunbed technology is subject to ongoing research and development programmes to keep abreast of researched evidence on the effects of UV.

Most people can use a sunbed, but we offer a full screening to complete before use. The benefits of using a sunbed include, a controlled way to tan, can provide appropriate levels of UV to ensure sufficient levels of vitamin D are achieved and maintained, skin type can be taken into account unlike in the sun, if you avoid sunburn the benefits of moderate skin exposure will far outweigh any risks.
Vitamin D is essential for good health and medical studies have proven the benefits of vitamin D in association with –

cellular health
bone health
organ health
mental health SAD, PMS, depression
skin disorders
obesity and exercise programmes

Sunlight is the most effective way for the body to manufacture vitamin D, it is very difficult to get enough from food or supplements.

If you don’t have the opportunity to go out in the sun or you prefer a more private and controlled environment, indoor tanning offers an alternative to natural sunshine for stimulating your production of vitamin D.

I hope this provides some clear information for you decide whether to use a sunbed or not, but if you do feel like a session pop into KISS today and we can advice you.
