The Continuing Growth of Indoor Tanning Beds
Concern about skin care has helped fuel steady growth in the tanning industry. In 2002, an estimated 30 million Americans turned to tanning salons as a controlled alternative to outdoor tanning. As we become increasingly aware of the risks that can be associated with sunburn and overexposure, more people are turning to indoor tanning facilities to help attain their tans in a controlled environment scientifically designed to minimize the risk of sunburn.

Tanning Beds - Indoor Tanning & Benefits

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Moderate tanning, for individuals who can develop a tan, is the smartest way to maximize the potential benefits of sun exposure while minimizing the potential risks associated with either too much or too little sunlight.
1) The professional indoor tanning industry promotes and teaches what is known as “The Golden Rule of Smart Tanning” i.e Don’t ever sunburn.
2) The indoor tanning industry has been more effective at teaching sunburn prevention than those who promote complete sun avoidance. Non-tanners sunburn more often than people who tan indoors.
3) Public debate on this issue has completely lost the perspective that there are known physiological and psychological benefits associated with sunlight, that there are many other potential benefits that need further research, that the risks are manageable for anyone who has the ability to develop a tan and that, for many people, the benefits of sun exposure outweigh the risks associated with overexposure.
4) A tan is the body’s natural protection against sunburn. Your skin is designed to tan as a natural body function, and the body is designed to repair sun damage as a natural process.
