UV Tanning

The positive effects of UV light exposure are well documented. According to the National Institutes of Health UV light exposure is, "perhaps the most important source of vitamin D." Since, "UV rays from the sun trigger vitamin D synthesis in skin." In its active form, vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which helps strengthen bones. Likewise, light exposure is known to improve mood and a sense of well-being. Tanning is the body’s natural response to UV light exposure. UV-B rays encourage the cells of the epidermis to produce more white melanin pigments. The melanin interacts with the oxygen in the blood and, with help from UV-A rays, the result is tanned skin. Tanned skin is perceived as more attractive, and a sign of healthy athleticism. When it comes to UV tanning, Tanline offers many choices to meet your needs.
