Are tanning beds safe for teens if they dont go often?!


Question:

Are tanning beds safe for teens if they dont go often?

Some parents dont let there teens go to tanning beds because of the risk of skin cancer, but is it really that bad to go to the tanning bed if you go once a week?


Answers:

Once a week is still a lot - EVERY time you expose your skin to UV rays like that, you are doing irreversible damage. Every single time you tan, your skin produces more melanin, which is the substance that can lead to melanoma - skin cancer.

You might as well be asking if smoking is safe as long as you only do it once a week. It's not.
