Probably one of the biggest advantages of sunbeds, especially over the natural sun, is that they’re controllable. They put users in charge of their level of exposure, which isn’t always possible on sunny days when there is a lack of shade. Today’s sunbeds are designed with integrated safety controls such as built-in timers that automatically power down the appliance following a short session to prevent burning and skin damage and give users more control over their tanning outcomes. You can’t simply turn the sun off!
