Let’s talk about light without the fear, hype, or misinformation.
Sunlight, UV tanning, red light therapy, and spray tanning are not interchangeable. They serve different purposes, work differently, and should be understood differently.
Natural daylight plays an important role in circadian rhythm and can support vitamin D production through UVB exposure.
UV tanning produces cosmetic color through controlled UV exposure.
Red light therapy uses different wavelengths and does not produce a UV tan.
And spray tanning? No UV exposure at all. Just color.
The takeaway is simple: the goal isn’t MORE light. It’s understanding the right light for the right purpose.
