is this true? because i always thought that tanning beds are dangerous than laying out in the sun.
is there such thing as a healthy tanning bed?
i live in worcester, ma. if anyone knows any good tanning places.
and how much does it cost to go tanning?

tanning in a salon is better than going outdoors because it is a controlled exposure to the UV and so it is less likely that you will get over exposed from tanning indoors as opposed to outdoors. there are also many benefits of tanning which you can check out on this website

tanning gives you vitamin d which helps prevent some cancers and stuff like osteoperosis. you can get vitamin d from the sun, but anyone who is north of atlanta won’t get the amount needed cuz the sun doesn’t get high enough for us to get it. you could get vitamin d from a pill but there is only so much of that you can take without getting sick while if you get it from the sun there is no limit to the amount you can get, it won’t make you sick.

just look around for a salon near you where the staff is smart tan certified, they will be able to help you determine the length of time and the types of beds and lotions to use that will be best for you and they will be able to help you determine a tanning schedule that will still be healthy for you

I’m pretty sure they are more dangerous. I heard that your only supposed to lay in them 5 minutes a day more then that is worse then the sun.
