TANNING SALONS


Is tanning worth the risk of cancer and other
health problems?
WHAT ARE THEY?

 Tanning salons are facilities that offer people
  the opportunity to achieve an indoor tan.
 To do this they use tanning beds which are
  devices that hold a person lying down, or
  standing up, to give its users golden glowing
  tans.
WHY PEOPLE TAN

 People don’t have time to go to outdoor tan
  because of their busy lifestyle.
 Celebrities are tan, and their fans think that
  they have to look that good otherwise they
  are not going to be beautiful.
BENEFITS OF TANNING
 Quicker tan in lesser time
 More convenient
 Control of ultraviolet rays
 More privacy to user
 Outdoor tanning is not possible throughout the
  year
 Vitamin D
 Muscle pain relief
 Treat skin diseases, like psoriasis and eczema
 Treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
CONSEQUENCES OF TANNING
   Increases the risk of skin cancers such as
    squamous cell carcinoma, basil cell carcinoma and
    melanoma.
   Eye cancer, also known as ocular melanoma, is a
    potential risk.
   Photo aging, or aging of the skin due to UV
    radiation.
   Improperly cleaned tanning beds can spread
    diseases, such as staph infections and some STDs.
   UV rays from tanning beds are more dangerous
    than natural sun exposure.
IS IT WORTH IT?

   Tanning is a part of our culture and is very
    popular, but there is a downfall. Even though
    we all strive to achieve beauty, it comes at a
    cost. So, is getting that glowing bronze glow
    worth it?
