(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 17, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- An Archives of Dermatology study found that each and every year nearly 20% of women utilize a tanning bed at least once. The study found that the women most likely to receive a tan via tanning beds are Midwestern and Southern women.
The University of South Dakota there has not been a direct study of whether or not women tan regularly, and the viewpoints on the tanning trend appears to vary amongst students. Sophomore Lynae Tucker stated that she tends to use to use tanning beds every day. That all changed thanks to two significant events. “I had a very good friend who was diagnosed with skin cancer,” Tucker said. “Then I got tattoos and realized how much tanning was damaging them, and I didn’t want to ruin something I’d paid hundreds of dollars for.”
Tucker said tanning is an individual preference that people need to decide on their own.
“I compare it to smoking or drinking alcohol,” she said. “Everyone knows what the dangers are, but they still do it. We’re all going to die from something, but you have to ask yourself what you’re going to damage yourself with.”
Dr. Gene Burrish, who is a former dermatologist, stated that the UV radiation from tanning beds increases the risk of contracting skin cancer. “The obvious risk from tanning beds is skin cancer, but other risks teenage girls probably don’t think about is that UV radiation can lead to premature aging, it can cause your immune system to stop functioning properly, damage your eyes and can create an allergic reaction,” he said.
A newer rash of studies have shown that the UV rays are harmful to the body, causing both aging and cancer, whether they are natural or artificial. “There is no proven evidence that tanning in a bed is any better for you than tanning in the sun,” he said.
