Tanning Beds Are A Health Risk

Tanning beds have been used for many years for beauty and attractiveness, but cancer experts say they are as deadly as arsenic.

The report analysed about 20 studies, they found a 75 % increase in skin cancer when people start using tanning beds before age 30.
Because of the ultraviolet rays these sunbeds are a health hazard, and are classified as a health risk. The research was published in the Lancet Oncology in July of this year.

If you know of someone who will be heading for the tanning salon give them a gift of health.
Self tanning cream or self bronzing products are recommended as an alternative to tanning beds.
