Our obsession¹ with having a year-round healthy glow is anything but healthy, especially for young women, but don't blame it all on the sun. Dermatologists² are targeting indoor agents of tanning, namely tanning beds.

 

 

The problem of tanning beds is that your entire body gets tanned, it gets tanned very quickly. There is much more intense than outside. It's cool,so you don't have a disincentive of getting hot,and it's easy and it's quick.

 

 

And despite industry claims that these beds are safe, doctors disagree.

 

 

We are seeing an epidemic³ of melanoma in people in their 20s.They are showing up in places that could only be affected⁴ by a tanning bed, buttocks, areas that just typically wouldn’t see sun on a regular basis,but there's no question that young people especially young women, in their late teens and 20s are having many more melanomas.

 

 

Melanoma is the most deadly of skin cancers according to the American Cancer Society which says over 60,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year. Its numbers like these that have prompted the American Academy of Dermatology to come out with a new campaign against indoor tanning called "Indoor tanning is out".

 

 

In fact, it is estimated every one in five Americans develops skin cancer.

 

And one person dies from melanoma about every hour.

 

I don't wanna be one of them.

 

I don't wanna be one of them.

 

 

One thing that tanning beds does is that they,people never have a rest from ED radiation, it's just like not having a rest from X-rays or cigarette smoke or any other known carcinogen. Your body doesn't have time to recover from it.

 

 

Many doctors advise patients to avoid the dangers of tanning beds by spraying on or rubbing on products that produce that healthy glow, whatever you can do to avoid roasting it on.
