The Dangers of Tanning
(Filed under: Health)Spring has come and that means people are donning shorter sleeve, baring flesh and hoping to soak up the sun with a good tan. Which is a great way to get skin cancer and die.
A nice tan may be the cool look, but it's also deadly. Tanned skin is damaged skin, and it's the first step towards premature aging and skin cancer. Experts say 80% of the damage to your skin will happen by age 18. Skin cancer is the number one cancer among women under 35, and doctors blame high levels of UV radiation. Which means sun bathing and tanning booths can kill you. Yes, the UV rays from a tanning booth can have the same skin-wrinkling, cancer-causing effect.
37% of young women have used tanning booths at least once, along with 11% of guys. They may be joining the estimated 1 million people diagnosed with skin cancer last year, more than all other cancers combined. (American Academy of Dermatology)
If you must have the in-look of orange, cancer-susceptible skin, a safer way to go is sunless tanning sprays and lotions.
