Cheer yourself up with a tan
January is so...blah with grey skies, rain, cold temps and darkness
most of the time. The sun seems to have moved south for the winter.
It's enough to make you feel SAD. Below we talk about how tanning
can help make you feel better at this gloomy time of year.
Cheer yourself up...go get a tan!
There is an undeniable "rush" that comes with a tanning session. The
best way to describe it is a kind of "self-satisfaction". Here are
some of the reasons it feels so-o-o good:
• Tans make you look healthy - glowing golden skin is visually
appealing and some believe that a tanned body looks fitter and
slimmer than a pale one. That's got to make you feel good!
• The warmth of the beds - Heat penetrates the body, relaxing
muscles, increasing the blood flow toward the surface which flushes
away impurities and the chemicals in the muscles which cause
soreness.
• De-stressing - Taking time away from the stresses in life to
simply lie or stand still in the light can be relaxing and therefore
create a happier, more relaxed mood.
• Light therapy - SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder is a contributor
to the January blues. It comes from the lack of sunlight in winter
causing our internal "clock" to become unbalanced. SAD is associated
with a seasonal increase in suicides. It is treated by being exposed
to bright artificial sunlight.
These and other reasons are responsible for the feel-good rush that
comes with tanning.
Oh yeah,
I feel better
already.
