Tanning beds, according to Steve Williams of Classic Tan, a new tanning salon opening on Speers Road this week, are a safe way to prepare your skin for longer exposure to the sun, because unlike sunshine, the UV rays are introduced to the skin in a controlled environment with a controlled exposure time. "The media is full of misinforâ€" mation about tanning beds. A good tanning lamp uses the same UVA rays as the sun, but can be adjusted to reduce the burning rays, and optimize the tanning ones. The more sessions you have, the more protection you‘ll have." Williams says it‘s important to find aâ€"salon with professionally trained staff, although having the proper credentials is still not mandatory in Canada. The staff at Classic Tan are trained at Suntan Association for Education (SAE) schools in the United States, where salon operaâ€" tors must be specially licensed.
