Tan Myths

Tan protects against sunburn: Tan itself is a damage by UV rays and it does little to protect against sunburn.

Tanning offers glowing skin: Tanning means exposing your body to UV rays and getting yourself closer to the risk of skin cancer. So it is less of a beauty factor and more of a risk factor.

Indoor tanning is safe: Though one could control the exposure of UV rays but the intense UV rays in indoor tanning anyways increases the risk of melanoma.

So, how you can protect yourself?
 

• Avoid Tanning as it can lead an individual to long term skin damage and bring him/her closer to the risk of Skin Cancer.
• Shield yourself against rays with proper clothing.
• Wear Sunglasses to protect your eyes.
• Use Sunscreen of at least SPF 30 when you move out in Sun.
