Tanning Booths - Safer than you think!

Visiting a tanning booth to tan may be safer than you
believe.
You have to understand that skin cancer has a 20-30 year latency
period, so most stories that you hear now are from the people who way
back when thought that getting sun burns would fade into nice looking
tans. This approach was not very good nor did it work at all. If you
decide to try out a tanning booth the only thing you need to worry
about is wearing protective eyewear.
The thing that causes skin cancer is the repeating
pattern of
getting sunburned. If you can avoid getting sunburn while using a
tanning booth then you will not have much to worry about. Also, with
using a tanning booth the UV rays are controlled and you can easily set
your exposure time to them by using the bed. That way, you will be safe
to tan for about 10-20 minutes depending on where you are at.
If you plan on using a tanning booth for the very first
time
and you do not tan very easily it is recommended that you do it for
only 5 minutes for your 1st and 2nd sessions, and then move up to 10
minutes for the next few, then after that move to 15 then 20 minutes.
You should never go past 20 minutes in one session unless the bed
specifically instructs that it's safe to.
