Just Say 'No' to Tanning

Even tanning salons cause problems

Just when you thought it was safe to go inside for a tan, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a warning for you.

The ultraviolet lights used in tanning salon beds can cause skin cancer, just as the sun can. The FDA also says the type of skin you have may make you more susceptible to skin cancer. Those most at risk have skin that never tans and always burns or skin that burns easily and tans minimally.
