Lynnette, There has been quite a bit in the media here in Australia about tanning beds. A case in point was a young woman who died late last year from using tanning beds extensively - it was proved that she got cancer from her time using tanning beds. Very sad and seemed such a waste. She spent the last weeks of her life warning young people to not get a tan using tanning beds and trying to get legislation changed.
We were born with the colour skin we have for some reason, why not just accept it and move on?

I was talking to two clients this morning about tanning. I am going to tan a few times before I leave for my trip to Punta Cana. I am not into tanning, do not believe in it for "beauty" reasons. I am afraid I will burn when I get there since I am never in the sun.The owner of where I am going has what is called "tanorexia." (Curves owner) She looks awful. I told her that she needs to back off the tanning. She has herself convinced that she looks awful without her tan. She also gets things done surgically to improve her look. WTF?? She could have prevented all those lines had she stayed out of the tanning beds. Her skin is like leather.However, I do not believe that teens should have to get a doctor note to allow them to tan. It really should be up to the parent. I DO think the parent should take them IF they allow their kids to tan the first time.My kids had no interest in tanning. We raised them to always use sunscreen. My daughter has skin the color of whole milk. I am taking her Coppertone Babies SPF 50 when I visit her next week. HER request for sunscreen. She lives in Chicago, but knows she needs it year round. My son learned a hard lesson when he was at the shore last year when he thought you do not need sunscreen on cloudy days. WRONG. He throws up from sun overexposure.Anyway, some people are just plain stupid. Tanning (and smoking) are known to cause cancer. Proven carcinogens. Anyone who chooses to do either only is asking for trouble. And to add fuel to the fire--- if anyone has a heart condition or cancer from either of these should be denied insurance. Why should "I" have to pay for their poor choices in their lives? Let them pay out of their pockets for their medical bills. With the cost of tanning and cigarettes, the money they could save to save their lives would be tremendous!buenos dias,Lynnette E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (6.0.0.386) Database version: 5.12010 http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor-antivirus/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
