Myth 4: Tanning is Healthy for your Skin
Despite what some may believe, tanning is not healthy for your skin. Prolonged exposure to UV rays from the sun or tanning beds can cause permanent damage to the skin and increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Tanning also increases the signs of premature aging, such as wrinkles, age spots, and leathery-looking skin. Tanning should be avoided as much as possible in order to protect your skin from harm. To get a sun-kissed glow without the risks associated with tanning, try using self-tanner products or spray tans instead.
