Tanning, good or bad?
Like all parts of the body, the skin ages and looses some of it�s endearing properties as we grow older. But with proper care and maintenance, your skin can stay healthy and glowing even through old age by using products that help fight the effects of the sun�s damaging rays. Tanning is a practice that has one lying down on a bed while a bank of UV lamps give you the so looked after tanned-look. This is more prevalent in Western Nations where their white or fair skin is given regular tanning treatments to give it a more sun-baked glow. New legislation that has these machines, have mandatory labels stating the risks of using the said device. Called the Tanning Accountability and Notification Act (TAN Act) passed by the USFDA makes it mandatory for additional labels to be placed in such devices.
So cutting to the chase, these devices are safe if used responsibly and consultation with a skin doctor might be a good idea if you are unsure when using any cosmetic device.
