Indoor tanning is perhaps your skin's biggest nightmare according to this article from the Skin Cancer Foundation. However, the $ 2 billion-a-year tanning industry doesn't seem to think so.
The argument proposed by the SCF is that the UV radiation from indoor tanning causes genetic damage to skin cells and increases the risk of melanoma.
The defense from its counterpart is that since indoor tanning is controlled it actually protects the skin against melanoma by building a protective layer of pigment melanin.
So who do we believe?
The SCF, the tanning salons, or Barack Obama's administration?
This year tanning salons received a a 10% tax increase services as a result of a health care bill signed by President Obama. The reasoning behind the law is the alarming numbers of a 75% increase in the risk of melanoma among those who like to fake bake.
I the mist of a tug of war in this issue I am curious to see your opinions.
