Is tanning in salons safer than tanning outdoors?
No. The beds in tanning salons use unfiltered, long UVA rays, the main cause of photo-aging of the skin. They cause wrinkles, “age” spots and can give the skin a leathery appearance. In addition, studies show that they contribute to the development of skin cancer. For these reasons tanning in salons is no safer then tanning outdoors.
