A solarium is a technical device for irradiating the human body with UV radiation, which simulates natural sunlight and causes skin pigmentation. Its main advantages include not only an aesthetic bronze tan all year round, but also stimulation of the production of essential vitamin D, preparation of the skin for the intense summer sun and a demonstrable positive effect on the psyche and fatigue. Good practice consists of a reasonable dosage according to your phototype, the use of specialized solar cosmetics and consistent eye protection. The key to a safe result is a gradual approach - i.e. several shorter visits rather than one long one - and maintaining at least 48-hour intervals between tanning sessions for sufficient skin regeneration.
