They are worse than lying out in the sun because of the higher UV rate! Tell those people out there that it's false that they are good for you. The safest tan is a fake tan!

It is not a myth. They are bad for you. Melanoma is the most deadly form of cancer.
Reply:Tanning bed are bad for you. You can get skin cancer and you can get rashes. I was in class once and this girl started freaking out and taking off her shirt and rolling in the snow because she went tanning the day before and got a bad rash.





So you should probably pass on the whole tanning bed thing.
Reply:They'll age you. I'm 31 and stay away and my facialist told me that I have better skin than many of the 17 year olds she works on and it's all because of the tanning bed. Spray tan is the only safe way.
Reply:Let's equate it to McDonalds. A meal now and then, although it isn't particularly good for you, doesn't do you much harm. If however, you were eating McDonalds regularly, it would cause extreme damage to your body.





Tanning is not inherently good for your skin, but a little won't do much harm. Tanning regularly highly increases your chances of (a) being really wrinkly when you're older and (b) getting skin cancer. Considering your skin gets a lot of sun generally anyway, I would rather not take the risk. Just be aware of the risks and act sensibly.
Reply:They are bad. You can actually die. No amount of exposure is safe.





If you must be tan, use a sunless tanner. Or better yet learn to love your pale.
Reply:Well, being in the sun a lot is bad for you. (same with tanning beds). A lot of people like going out in the sun because it provides vitamin d. I live in california, and a lot of the older people have leather skin from being out in the sun too much. GROSS
Reply:I gave another answer to this type of question. Some tanning bed companies take videos of girls taking off their clothes,and even nude lying on the tannning bed from underneath. Also, wear sunscrean you can burn. If you are an exhibitionist and don't mind the manager watching you on closed circuit camera go for it. I will pass.
Reply:Yes, they are bad for you. I should know, I used to use tanning beds and now I have to live with the consequences. I've already had two cancerous moles removed and have damaged my skin to the point where I look older than my years. It's very depressing and I'm stuck paying out for expensive treatments and procedures to try and fix the damage caused to my skin from tanning beds. I do not recommend that you try it!
