Indoor tanning can deliver quick results, but UV exposure carries significant health risks that shouldn’t be ignored.
1. Skin Cancer Risk
Both UVA and UVB damage DNA in skin cells, increasing the risk of melanoma and other skin cancers.
2. Premature Aging
UVA penetrates deep into the skin, breaking down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.
3. Eye Damage
Without protective eyewear, UV can cause cataracts and other vision issues.
4. Immune System Suppression
Excessive UV exposure can weaken the skin’s immune defenses.
Conclusion
Understanding the risks helps you make informed choices about indoor tanning and explore safer alternatives if needed.
