Indoor Versus Outdoor Tanning
The most beneficial difference between indoor versus outdoor tanning is the control you have when getting an indoor tan. At a salon, you can measure and time the UV rays you receive. An outdoor tan relies on the mood of the weather. The U.S. FDA requires salons to indicate how much UV rays and how much time you need on a tanning bed depending on your skin type and base tan if any. At a tanning salon, you have access to a tan anytime of the day or even at night. An outdoor tan is at the mercy of how sociable the sun feels on certain days. During winter or fall, it is very hard to get access to enough sunlight for a good tan.
