Scientists confirm no such thing as a safe tan

Scientists have published three separate papers today that argue that there is no such thing as a safe tan. The  papers were published in Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, and dispel the myth that tanning beds or sun tanning can be safe in moderation.

The premise of the argument is that both tanning and skin cancer begin with the same physiological change in skin cell DNA damage.

“This effort to portray tanning and tanning beds as good for health ignores the fact that exposure to ultraviolet radiation represents one of the most avoidable causes of cancer. There is no question that this exposure causes thousands of skin cancer deaths a year,” Professor Fisher said to WebMD.

This is all the more reason to use TanTowels to get the perfect safe, sunless tan with no mess, no fuss, and no streaks.
