Solariums

There is growing evidence to suggest that the UVR used in solariums and sun lamps may damage the skin and increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Other risks include skin aging, skin and eye burns, reduced immunity and allergic-type reactions. Many solariums claim to use only UVA - which ages the skin and adds to the total amount of UVR your skin accumulates throughout a lifetime.

There is no safe tan and there is no safe UVR - claims that a UVA tan protects the skin and does not cause aging or skin cancer are misleading.
