A medical center recently released a new study claiming that those who have the need to tan constantly share similarities to the behavior of an addict. Who knew! According to one of the researchers of the study, many tanners come back for the positive feeling of tanning even though they know the risk of melanoma.
Do you find yourself booking a regular visit to your local tanning salon on the regular? You might need to re-evaluate how often you really need to get your glow on. Being an addict of anything isn't fabulous. You may not realize how it's impacting your life. Addicts will choose their temptations over friends, loved ones, and their health. When it comes to tanning, the Skin Cancer Foundation states that those under the age of thirty who use tanning beds ten times yearly have eight times greater the risk of malignant melanoma. Yikes--need I say more? Simply put, tanning does not make you look healthy, if anything, it highlights the skin damage. What's healthy about that?
That's why I'm a huge fan of the "Go With Your Own Glow" campaign by the Skin Cancer Foundation. Nothing is more fabulous and healthy than a woman's natural, healthy glow. They give fabulous tips on how to get that fabulous glow without the need to hit the tanning salon.
Bottom Line: Keep it fabulous and natural. Going to a tanning salon is like going to cancer shop and asking for the un-fashionable melanoma treatment. Who wants to be addicted to cancer in their 20s? Not me!
