the fundamental truth about tanning
Moderate tanning, for individuals who can develop a tan,
is the smartest way to maximize the potential benefits of
sun exposure while minimizing the potential risks associated
with either too much or too little sunlight.
this position is founded on the following tenets:
- The professional indoor tanning industry promotes and
teaches what we refer to as The Golden Rule of Smart Tanning:
Don't ever sunburn.
- The indoor tanning industry has been more effective at
teaching sunburn prevention than those who promote complete
sun avoidance. Non-tanners sunburn more often than people
who tan indoors.
- An estimated 30 million North Americans patronize indoor
tanning facilities at some point during the year. Every
year, millions of indoor tanners successfully develop "base
tans" before embarking on sunny vacations - tans that, combined
with the proper use of sunscreen outdoors, help them prevent
sunburn.
- Public debate on this issue has completely lost the perspective
that there are known physiological and psychological benefits
associated with sunlight, that there are many other potential
benefits that need further research, that the risks are
manageable for anyone who has the ability to develop a tan
and that, for many people, the benefits of sun exposure
outweigh the risks associated with overexposure.
- A tan is the body's natural protection against sunburn.
Your skin is designed to tan as a natural body function,
and the body is designed to repair sun damage as a natural
process.
- The professional indoor tanning salon industry is part
of the solution in the ongoing battle against sunburn and
in teaching people how to identify a proper and practical
life-long skin care regimen.
