Toronto (OTL) - Despite what many believe, there is no such thing as a safe way to get a tan.
A study was released in the October issue of Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research. The study confirmed the notion, that any type of skin exposure to radiation can be harmful.
The study proved that both sunbathing and using an indoor tanning bed have equal damaging effects on the skin.
Researchers from St. George’s, University of London, and University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center carried out the study.
They found that any type of UV radiation can lead to cancer.
This comes as the Indoor Tanning Association recently launched a nationwide campaign to try and convince the public that tanning helps promote good health.UV radiation is the most prevalent cause of cancer among humans.
