| Solariums double Skin Cancer Risk |
| |
This news does not come as any surprise, however published today by a leading research scientist, identifies the need for stricter regulation in this field. The study shows that the rarest but deadliest for of Skin Cancer, increased by 22% if someone used a solarium just ONCE!
Last year 9500 melanomas were diagnosed, and 1,100 people died of some form of Skin Cancer.
Solariums emit stronger concentrated UVB rays, and most people do not apply any protective susncreen when using these solariums. Its hard to believe, but ask yourself would you visit Chernobyl nuclear site without wearing protective clothing........ I Don't think so!!!
At the end of the day its about sensible choices, most people are starting to get the message about Sun Protection, but for some reason people who use solariums feel its a safer way to Tan. If these people are intent of having a Tan, then "Fake It", there are so many good spray tans around now, instead of slow roasting yourself on a Solarium.
So......Block the Sun, Not the Fun!
