Tanning Indoors

Myth -- "Tanning Beds are safe"

• There is no scientific evidence to show that tanning beds or sunlamps reduce your risk of cancer or other diseases.
• No tanning beds or sunlamps can give you a safe tan, regardless of if they make mostly UV (ultraviolet) A or UV B radiation.
• All forms of UV radiation can cause skin cancer.
• All forms of UV radiation cause premature aging of the skin - wrinkling, sagging, yellow discoloration, brown age spots.
• The World Health Organization is recommending that no one under the age of 18 should use tanning beds because of a sharp increase in the number of skin cancer cases worldwide.
