What is a Gold Tanning Bed?

A gold tanning bed is a specialized tanning unit offering an enhanced experience, positioned as a step up from basic tanning beds. These beds are primarily designed to help individuals develop a foundational tan, making them particularly suitable for those with fair skin or without an existing strong base tan.

Key Characteristics of Gold Tanning Beds

Gold tanning beds come equipped with specific features that differentiate them from entry-level options:

• Maximum Session Duration: Tanning sessions in a gold bed are typically limited to a maximum of 15 minutes, optimizing the exposure time for effective and safe tanning.
• High Pressure Facial Bulbs: A notable feature is the inclusion of high-pressure bulbs specifically for the face. These deliver more concentrated UV light to the facial area, aiding in a more pronounced tan for this often harder-to-tan region.
• Predominantly UVB Rays: Gold tanning beds primarily utilize UVB (Ultraviolet B) rays. UVB is essential for stimulating the production of melanin, which is the pigment responsible for skin tanning. This makes them effective for initiating and building a base tan.
• Enhanced Tanning Experience: Considered an upgrade from standard or "base" tanning beds, they offer a more intensive or specialized session designed for more noticeable results.

Who Can Benefit from a Gold Tanning Bed?

These tanning beds are ideal for specific user profiles:

• Individuals Without a Strong Base Tan: If you are new to tanning or your existing tan has faded, a gold tanning bed can help you establish a new base effectively.
• Fair-Skinned Individuals: For those with naturally lighter skin tones, gold tanning beds provide a controlled and effective way to start building a tan gradually and safely.
