What is the maximum exposure time advised for a beginner using a tanning bed?

The recommended maximum exposure time for a beginner using a tanning bed is typically set at 10-15 minutes. This guideline is based on ensuring safe tanning practices, particularly for individuals who may not have built up a base tan. New users have more sensitive skin that can easily be burned due to the intensity of UV radiation from tanning beds.

Staying within the 10-15 minute range allows beginners to tan without overly exposing their skin to UV rays, which can lead to skin damage or burns. It is always advisable for new users to start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the exposure time as their skin adjusts and builds some tolerance to tanning. This incremental approach helps to promote a safer tanning experience while minimizing risks associated with UV exposure.
