Government again doing what it thinks is best for you, because it knows best. There is no doubt that tanning beds can be abused, just as tanning in the sun can be abused. A burn or redness of the skin is skin damage and sets the individual up for possible cancer in future years. Yet responsible tanning (not allowing the skin to get red) increases vitamin D levels and helps protect against all cancers and is a healthy thing. ( A glass of wine is a healthy thing, but a whole bottle is not). Twenty minutes in the sun in a bathing suit is 10 k of vitamin D, without getting burned. Tanning ( skin color change) is to be avoid because it reduces vitamin D production when the skin is darker.
Exposure to the sun without getting red reduces wrinkles because it strengthens subcutaneous tissue and fills in the wrinkles. However, wrinkles will be produced when skin damage does occur by being over exposed. Also, sun exposure guarantees no over dosage of vitamin D because the skin will tan slowly, when done responsibly, and prevent over dosage because the skin gets darker and limits dose.
It is important to find out what kind of lamp is being used when in a tanning salon. It should not be a high pressure lamp as that emphasizes rays that are not as beneficial. We are trying to imitate what the sun puts out in spectrum of rays. Tanning also requires responsible behavior. Children should be monitored by adults. That is what parents are supposed to do. Something I am afraid is lacking in today's society on all levels.
