Indoor Tanning is Out!
“Research Shows 70% of indoor tanners are female. Primarily 16 to 29 years old. Indoor tanning at this age increase the risk of developing skin cancer. It is very important for women to be aware of the risks of artificial tanning.” Dr. Cheryl Rosen, National Director of CDA’s Sun Awareness Program
Not only can the ultraviolet radiation from indoor tanning beds cause premature aging, it also increases the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Indoor tanning before the age of 30 has been associated with a significant increase in the risk of melanoma, and recently sunbeds (UV tanning beds) were moved up to the highest cancer risk category—group 1— ‘carcinogenic to humans’ by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer.
