Is tanning bed light like natural light?

It is a fact that when ultraviolet light touches your skin it causes your body to naturally produce vitamin D. Vitamin D has been linked to treat and/or prevent many diseases and conditions. For example, Dr. Holick Professor of Medicine, Dermatology, Physiology, and Biophysics at the Boston University Medical Center has found substantial evidence that the Vitamin D you get from tanning can help with the following diseases and conditions:\n\n    * Breast Cancer\n    * Colon Cancer\n    * Depression (Nonseasonal)\n    * Fybromyalgia\n    * High Blood Pressure\n    * Multiple Sclerosis\n    * Osteomalacia\n    * Osteoporosis\n    * Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)\n    * Prostate Cancer\n    * Psoriasis\n    * Rheumatoid Arthritis\n    * Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)\n    * Type 1 Diabetes\n    * Type 2 Diabetes

No.  This is an old "urban myth."  The amount of energy used by the bulb is the rated watts.  So, for an equal number of lumens [the "brightness" of the bulb] fluourescent lamps use fewer watts.  And if you're buying a new fixture, check to see the different color ratings of fluouresecent bulbs, too.  They don't have to make you look like a corpse anymore.\n\nAnother way to look at it is that incandescent lamps use resistance to overheat a solid chunk of metal until it glows.  That takes a lot of energy. Fluourescents send an electrical charge through a cloud of gas to excite individual molecules.  I'm not a physicist, but that sounds a bit easier to do.

Actually the major symptom of tanning bed burn is itching.  It could also be a sun rash or a rash from the tanning bed cleaner.

I go to a tanning bed, and I have a very deep dark tan, it is not orange in color but brown to tan color and I do not consider it a fake tan. A fake tan is one that comes out of a bottle (Sunless tanning lotion). Some tanning lotions that you can purchase at tanning beds have bronzers in them which will make you orange in color, My best advise is to make sure that the tanning lotion you are using does not have any type of bronzer in it.

Sunlight is white, just like light bulb light. The moon is illuminated by sunlight just like your newspaper is illuminated by light bulb light when you are reading it at night. Both the Sun and the light bulb are really hot, but you don't touch either one, do you? Now clearly the sun is WAY hotter than a light bulb, but it is also WAY farther away. Both the Moon and Earth are very far from the sun and so they both get about the same amount of heat from the Sun, but we just are not close enough to get red hot.

Technically, there is no such thing as pure white light.  White light is a mixture of multiple spectrums of light.  As an example, find a dark room with a regular light bulb and a florescent.  Try turning each one on one at a time and notice the color difference.  The yellow is because there is a yellow tinge to the surface of the sun.  There is a table of information on the website below\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification

Yes. Darkness is an absence of light. To make it "darker" you subtract light. You cannot add darkness.

There is lotion that will protect you from burn rays of the sun and thus help your tan get darker.  There are also self tanning lotions you can use indoors to get a fake tan.

If you want a nice tan, go under the sun or a tanning salon. Black girls would kill for light skin.

There is no such thing as "dark light", there is only light or the absence of light. The dark sky is simply the absence of light. Dark isn't a real thing, it is just a lack of a real thing, the real thing being light.\n\nNote that the sky is not totally dark, juts too dark for your eyes to see. There is some dim light everywhere, from distant stars or the cosmic microwave background or whatever, but it is all "light".

NO. Tanning bulbs are made with a light "wire" that reflects ultra violet rays, heat lamps are just high voltage which put off a lot of heat.

Lighter colors reflect sunlight .Trust me ,I have owned a black truck and they get damn hot.Lighter ones get hot but nowhere near as hot as a dark one

As far as I know, Barite or gypsum rose is the only one. I own one of those as well. It has a pink tint & feels rather sandy.\n\n:)

Depends on what kind of sunless tanning you're doing. If you decide to go the mystic tan route you will look a little orange the first time you go, but its a layered effect you need to go more than once for it to look real. Now if you are buying something at the store to put on your self, your best bet for something that looks real is the L'Oreal sunless tanner. That is the best thing to use. It doesn't look streaky or orange.\n\nBut if you're still worried about looking like an Umpa Loompa then just go natural. Embrace your own beauty. Red hair with fair skin are beautiful, look at Nicole Kidmon. Natural is always the best.\nGood luck!

NO, ANY TAN IS ACTUALLY A SYMPTOM OF CELLS THAT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. TANNING BEDS HURT EVEN WITHOUT BURNING. UVA RAYS MAY BE LINKED TO MELANOMA, PREMATURE AGING, AND IMMUNE SYSTEM DAMAGE. A TAN DOESN'T MAKE VITAMIN D. THOUGH YOU DO NEED SOME SUNSHINE FOR VITAMINS, IT TAKES VERY LITTLE FOR YOUR BODY TO PRODUCE VITAMIN D, FAR LESS THAN IT TAKES TO GET A TAN.

Yup. Specially at night when it's really coming down but in a way that it's not really all that cold. You know, gentle. The clouds low, but not depressing bouncing back all that available light almost warm and friendly. Like heaven is that much closer, it almost makes street lighting unnecessary and traffic is almost non existent. It makes everything look clean and new. There aren't any real shadows, and when the light does hit the snow, even in the shadows, the snow sparkles here and there like little stars or diamonds. I really love that.

I use a halogen desk lamp. I use sun glasses, they are not dark glasses though, they are almost rose colored glasses. I feel a good difference. I have never tried the real light therapy. I hope this works for you.
