Tanning beds are EXTREMELY dangerous! After about an hour of a tan, your cancer cells increase and you will more likely have skin cancer! They can fry you!

Yeah and too much of it and you'll look like a leather handbag when you're old xD haha no but seriously my greant aunts are in their 60s and after extreme tanning all their life, they look like leather. Tanning really does age your skin

We did a big unit about this in my health class my Junior year of high school, advising us against tanning for the same reasons you mentioned! And even when going outside you should always apply sunscreen!

We had a unit on tanning too and to add on to Sabrina's comment, it increases your risk of skin cancer 8 times!! EIGHT! That's ridiculous! Also, if you have any moles on your body, they are like a target for certain rays 😁

Yeah I forgot about the moles being like targets for rays you're right Erika! :) It's even a great idea if you have a mole that concerns you checked by a doctor :)

I avoid the sun like the plague, sunscreen has become my bestfriend, I wear long skirts and I don't stay out long. I don't want to be tan.
