"Sunbeds therefore not only offer a controlled way to tan, their use can also prevent vitamin D deficiencies", adds Christina Lorenz, the chairperson of the European Sunlight Association (ESA), to Moan's remarks. With a sun bed, continues Lorenz, an individual tanning programme can be developed, which takes into account the skin type of the user, the type of tanning bed and the exposure time so that the skin is prevented from burning, which should at all time be avoided in- and outdoors.
Vitamin D, according to the proof of worldwide medical studies, leads to positive effects on cell, bone and organ health and counteracts autoimmune and skin diseases. It is, stimulated by UV radiation, formed to 90% by the skin.
