Top Facts You Should Know About Tanning Before You Bake Under The Sun
4. Tanning myth– A solarium tan is a safe tan
If you think this too, you are not alone! A majority of the population believes that solarium tanning is safe and much better than heading out in the sun. Increased risk of skin cancer, eye damage, skin damage and even possibilities of changes to the immune system are some of the side effects you may be exposed to. I did not even know that it is illegal for any solarium operators to advertise their services as ‘safe’? Did you?
5. What you need to remember and where to get help
Don’t you hate it when people start giving you advice which is nowhere near the truth? Ever since I’ve done my homework, I don’t miss a chance to put down ignorant fools who start doling out nonsense advice in front of me. If you want someone to speak to, or want advice, there are a few sources that you can tap. Go to your local doctor, pharmacists, your dermatologist, local community health care centre, your government health helpline or even cancer help lines.
Does tanning make you look more beautiful? Even though I know all these facts, I still think that tanning adds a zing to my personality– especially when I’m lying in my hot bikini on the beach. But it is important to remember that there is no such thing as ‘safe tanning’.
