According to dematologists which is true about tanning beds..?
Tanning and/or burning can caue skin cancer. A minimum of 15 spf needs to be on at all times when in the sun.





Tanning beds CAN cause skin cancer, dont kid yourself.





And yes, a suntan is evidence of NON healthy skin.





Getting your moles checked yearly by a dermatologist and using 15 spf (and no tanning beds) are your best preventative measures in getting skin cancer.
According to dematologists which is true about tanning beds..?
My sister worked for a Dermatologist for several years.....He did not want any of his employees to tan in the sun or in tanning beds....he said that both were very damaging to the skin and could cause skin cancer in the long term. A tanning bed is actually worse, because most people use an accelerator in the beds.......


In the actual sunshine, you should use a 30 SPF sunscreen or higher, when you are going to be out in the sun. The thing that makes the sun so dangerous is getting burnt over and over....especially as a child.......


However; the sun also helps our body to produce Vitamin D which is essential to keep up our immune system and other things.....


From my personal experience, I am a night shift worker, and I do not get enough sun....(trying to get days, done this for almost 3 years).....smile.....anyway.....I have read several related studies not getting enough sun to produce the Vitamin D; especially in women you can develop depression, certain chemical imbalances, sleep disorders, and also have a 30-35% increase in getting breast cancer......


So get enough sun but don't over do it.....


I hope this helps....I know I tended to get a little lengthy but I take what you need and throw the rest out.......Have a great day!!!!
