In my teens and 20’s we didn’t know about the extreme cancerous risks of tanning beds. I had to have a melanoma removed from the back of my right tricep! Please, if you insist on having “color,” go for organic based spray tans and just Say No to Cancer! 🙅🏻♀️ 🛑 #itintelligenttreatment #repost Even one indoor tanning session can increase users’ risk of developing melanoma by 20 percent, squamous cell carcinoma by 67 percent and basal cell carcinoma by 29 percent. . . Indoor tanning before age 24 increases one’s risk of developing basal cell carcinoma by age 50. Studies have demonstrated that exposure to UV radiation during indoor tanning damages the DNA in the skin cells. . . Excessive exposure to UV radiation during indoor tanning can lead to premature skin aging, immune suppression, and eye damage, including cataracts and ocular melanoma. . . Using indoor tanning beds before age 35 can increase your risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, by 59 percent; the risk increases with each use. . . Researchers estimate that indoor tanning may cause upwards of 400,000 cases of skin cancer in the U.S. each year. . . Indoor tanning beds/lamps should be avoided and should not be used to obtain vitamin D because UV radiation from indoor tanning is a risk factor for skin cancer. Vitamin D can be obtained by eating a healthy diet and by taking oral supplements . . . . #skincarespecialist #notanningbeds #medspa #medispa #medicalspa #tanningbed #skincareaddict #esthetician #skinspirit #aesthetician #sunblock #spf #skincare #sunscreen #tanning #dermatology #beautyinfluencer #cosmeticsurgery #plasticsurgery #sundamage #skincancer (at Kim Laudati Skin Care) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtIDRvABv0H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=78rmr2acd8nk
