Is it worse to tan in the sun or tanning bed?

Apparently the u/v effects are stronger in a tanning salon. So both are bad. You can safely tan by applying sunscreen with 20spf tanning lotion and bake for only 15 minutes on each side each day, In natural sun. But a lot of people would recommend not to do any. Fake tanning supposed to be the safest.

Reply:yuk. stay out of the sun if possible. you'll regret it when you get to 35 + and your skin is 20 years older than it should be.





You want to look 20 at 30, not look 40.

Reply:I'm aware that tanning is bad. OK! From personal experience, I have found that it caused much less skin damage when I used a tanning bed than the real sun. But, when you are in a tanning booth or bed those rays don't just stop at your skin, They go on through to your organs and i'm pretty sure those little glasses will not stop you from getting cataracts. I'm pretty sure the fake and bake is worse for your health. Keeping that in mind from a vanity point of view fake and bake is quick and easy.
Reply:oh tanning bed is the last option for you to consider..since it has 2 major con's - it gives your unnatural tan, orange and it gives more damage to your skin. Just run to the beach and get a healthy looking tan..since summer is near and the temperature is rising up. don't forget to put on sunscreen :D
