Skin cancer isn’t pretty. In fact, it can be deadly.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has put tanning beds in the category of highest cancer risk. The Star reported today that tanning beds are “as deadly as mustard gas, arsenic, plutonium and other known carcinogens.”
I know some of you might be tempted by that (un)healthy glow tanning beds can offer, but I hope you agree that it is not worth the long-term risk to your health. And lets not forget the extra wrinkles you’ll be battling even if you are fortunate enough to avoid cancer. Instead, try a self-tanner or embrace your natural skin tone.
