The Facts About Tanning

Sunlight is energy, which is transferred by means of electro-magnetic rays or waves with different wave lengths. We can differentiate between ultra-violet rays (UV light), visible light, and warm infra-red radiation (IR light). The UV light is subdivided up into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C rays. The dangerous UV-C rays are filtered out by the atmosphere and do not reach the surface of the earth. The composition and strength of UV-A and UV-B rays varies and depends on the time of day and year, air pollution, degree of latitude North or South, and the intensity of reflection (water, snow etc) for example. The skin is the largest regulatory and protective organ of our body. Through the skin we not only make physical contact but also sensual contact to our environment. Whilst in former centuries paleness was considered distinguished, a natural tan is a sign of athleticism, attractiveness and health today. The exterior appearance - the natural outfit - is an expression of personal lifestyle for more and more people. An attractively tanned skin improves the personality. Irrespective of whether at work or in your free time - you are received better.
Basically, a tan is nothing other than the body’s inherent protection against sunlight. The UV-B rays encourage the cells of the epidermis ( the elanocytes) to produce more white melanin pigments, which, on their way to the upper dermal layer, are tanned by the UV-A rays and the oxygen contained in the blood ( indirect pigmentation ). If a preliminary pigmentation has taken place already, the skin will be tanned immediately by UV-A rays (direct pigmentation)

The pleasant effects of UV rays on the body and soul have been substantiated by medicine. The natural formation of vitamin D3 takes place only in the sun or on a sunbed - or put more precisely - under the influence of UV-B rays. Vitamin D3 is an important hormone for the protection of bone, protecting against osteoporosis. Due to the formation of vitamin D3 calcium is deposited in the bones.

Still further positive properties are attributed to this "sun hormone". It stimulates the immune system, increases the body’s own physical powers, alleviates depressions and has a positive affect on the heart and circulation

Even skin diseases are treated with UV light with great success, such as acne, psoriasis and neurodermatitis.
