So you are probably wondering why get a fake tan; when we have the beautiful hot sun? If done correctly a day at the beach should do the trick right? Well there is a big problem with the sun and our skin, UV Radiation.
UV Radiation
UV radiation has been proven to cause skin cancer. There are two basic types of UV—Ultraviolet A (UVA) and Ultraviolet B (UVB). UVB radiation is produced by the sun and responsible for the sunburns people get when outside for too long.
What about Tanning Beds?
A tanning bed uses UVA radiation which is considered less harmful than UVB but has still been shown to cause skin cancer. Both have been shown to cause skin cancer but it is agreed that UVA penetrates deeper into the skin than its UVB counterpart. This is how a tanning bed can produce suntans in so little time. Also, research shows that prolong use of tanning beds can weaken the immune system, which can increase your chances of getting an illness. Tanning beds also damage the skin by evaporating the moisture in the skin, causing it to dry out. In time the skin will look leathery and wrinkled. So who is really willing to risk premature aging for tan skin? There are safe solutions.
