Can the sunbed have lasting effects?!
Question:
Can the sunbed have lasting effects?
I am mixed race and have tanned skin, however i've been using the sun bed for a few months and have stayed permanently darker even though i have stoped for about a month now, i used to go 3 times a week and now i have stoped i have noticed my skin looks more dry and wrinkly, is this possible i taught skin ageing from sunbed use only happens after many years?
Answers:
The sun bed and sun UVA/B rays are never healthy. Both can lead to premature wrinkling, age spots and more dangerously, various types of skin cancers. Some skin cancers are more dangerous than others, but if left undiscovered for a length of time, can be life threatening. If you are that concerned, check with a local dermatologist about it. However, they will more than likely repeat the warnings I have mentioned.
Tans look nice now, but you may regret the tanning later. If you are already tanned, be happy with it. If you stop tanning now, you can still have a decent tan and keep your body safe. If you are going to be in the sun for long periods of time, always use suntan lotion of a high SPF.
