THE EFFECTS

  • Skin cancer
  • Sunburn
  • Eye damage
  • Premature ageing
  • Immune supply supression

DO TANNING LOTIONS PROTECT YOUR SKIN?

  • People should be using lotion that actually protects your skin from the rays
  • Make your skin produce more melanin which is bad for you
  • They absorb the light from the bulbs
  • Overall they are actually very bad for you because they don't protect like most people assume
  • Lotions can affect peoples skin either good or bad depending on the type of skin they have
