Tanners, your day has come. California has become the first state to ban persons under the age of 18 from using UV-tanning devices. This means no more sun-beds or indoor tanning. The law used to allow minors (between the age of 14 to 18) to tan with the consent of an adult, but not any more. The dangers of tanning by UV exposure include increased aging (even more fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes!), and a high risk of skin cancer through exposure to carcinogens. It's even caused the death of one young woman! "If you want to look years older than your true age, have deep wrinkles in places you never expected, and ruin the texture and the color of your skin, then a tanning salon is the place for you," says dermatologist Debra Jaliman, M.D. It's even caused the death of one young woman! Now when you want a tan, it's going to have to come straight from a bottle.
The law will mean the death of some businesses, but we hope it won't mean an increase in tanning the natural way!
---Well finally someone does something about this! I am not a big fan of tanning beds, I'm not gonna lie I've tried it a couple of times, but just seeing ladies' skins so wrinkly and pretty much like a burnt toast, it terrifies me!!! We can't just damage our skins like that, it's ok to try and be beautiful, tan skin and all that but try SPRAY TANNING!! Seriously my sister's friends which happen to be 13 yrs old thay tanned since they were 11.. can you imagen how old their skins are gonna look when they are 30, 40 and so on if they keep on doing this. Poor girls!! They tried to drag my sis into doing it, I was able to talk her out of it! Girls please stop tanning under those UV lights, you're trying to get dark by damaging your skins, which won't be pretty in a few years! Hopefully more States will follow this!!
