โผ #1 SUNBEDS ARE SAFE:
Sunbed use is bad news at any age and dramatically increases the risk of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. They are classified as a group 1 carcinogen - the highest cancer risk category. AND the younger you are and more often you use them - the risk MASSIVELY INCREASES.
โผ #2 SUNBEDS ARE SAFER THAN THE SUN:
Sunbeds emit UVA at much higher intensities than the sun to make you tan quickly. UVA penetrates the skin at much deeper levels than UVB. Damage from UVA is cumulative, irreparable, causes cell damage and skin cancer - including melanoma which is one of the biggest killing cancers in the 15-34 age group.
โผ #3 SUNBEDS HELP PREPARE MY SKIN FOR THE SUN SO I DONโT BURN:
This is a common misconception, but put simply, all it does is add to the damage already done and if you intend to sunbathe, further damage you will do.
โผ #4 SUNBEDS BOOST MY VITAMIN D SUPPLY
UVB boosts vitamin D, NOT UVA. Any deficiencies, particularly in winter should be boosted with supplements and a healthy balanced diet.
โผ #5 A SUNBED TAN MAKES ME LOOK BETTER!
UVA is responsible for 80% of the visible signs of ageing - and as mentioned sunbeds emit much higher intensities of UVA than natural sunlight. The fact is, sunbed use will make you look MUCH older at a MUCH younger age.
โผ DONโT FORGET! Sunbeds are BANNED in some countries - they are illegal for use in the UK if you are under the age of 18 and MUCH MORE needs to be done to regulate this industry.
โผ DONโT BECOME A STATISTIC.
Many sunbed users have died from melanoma - this is not a coincidence.
โผ Please, if you use sunbeds STOP โผ

๐This is important information a skin cancer charity has made abundantly clear.
I have copied this from a friend as it is too important NOT TO SHARE!
๐So much so, I completed their training to help me recognise the different types of melanoma. In the hair and beauty industry we can see some very important changes when carrying out a service. Learn to recognise the signs and changes.
โผ๏ธTake this information seriously and dont shrug it off. PLEASE RE-THINK YOUR LIFESTYLE CHOICES ๐
