What is more damaging-tanning salons or tanning in the sun?

I always get a natural tan from the sun, (I would rather do sprays and tanning lotions but I think those look fake) but I was just wondering if that is more, less, or about the same amount of skin damage that comes from tanning salons.


Thanks:)What is more damaging-tanning salons or tanning in the sun?
Most of these answers are all wrong! First of all, yes, there's warning labels on tanning beds because it's POSSIBLE that it may cause cancer if done irresponsibly. That's like not driving because you MIGHT get into a car accident.





Second- the phrase everything in moderation comes to mind. Tanning isn't bad for you, burning is. In fact, UV light is essential to human health. It's a mood elevator and has been shown to alleviate the symptoms of mild depression. UV light also increases your natural production of Vitamin D, which people aren't getting enough of anymore because of the skin cancer scare. It actually has become an epidemic.





Long story short- if you tan a little today and gradually increase your exposure, you'll tan safely. Think of tanning for your skin as lifting weights for your muscles. Each time you do it, you tear little fibers in your muscle, but your muscle repairs itself and becomes stronger each time. As long as you don't overwork your muscles (or get a burn) you should be safe.





My advice though- indoor tanning- it's government regulated and there are professionals there to make sure you stay safe and recommend how long and often you tan according to your skin type.What is more damaging-tanning salons or tanning in the sun?
Tanning salons are more dangerous. And so are tanning products. If you can get tanned naturally, choose that option. It is always better not to introduce too much chemical to your skin/body. Use sunscreen when tanning though... Sunscreen does not mean you will not get tanned, but it protects your skin, which is really very sensitive and precious - don't want brown spots or any skin complications down the line.
The sun is much better because it isn't focused on your body like the light from a tanning bed is. Actually, the sun doesn't really cause skin damage unless if you tan every day, almost non-stop.
tanning in the sun really damages your face especially if you do it a lot of


times.


sometimes you can't see it but sometimes it look like freckles
tanning salons are A LOT MORE dangerous than the natural sun, sprays, and lotions.





Can cause cancer a lot faster than the sun!
