2. Over Exposure to Tanning Bed UV Rays
Along with overexposure to the sun presenting a threat to your skin, there’s also the risk of developing the condition from too much time in the tan-can. Tanning devices expose the epidermis to harmful UV rays that mimic the sun.
Many models and fitness enthusiasts like to maintain their tan year-round. Unfortunately, some of these individuals spend too much time on the tanning bed and receive a sunburn as a result. A tanning bed produces heat along with the UV rays, and people using these devices notice that it feels similar to sunbathing in direct sunlight.
As a result, they don’t notice their skin’s natural reaction to intense sunlight – or they choose to ignore it, thinking that they’re safe because they’re tanning in a controlled environment. However, tanning devices burn the skin with extended exposure, so it might not be such a good idea to run two tan-can sessions in a row.
