 I highly recommend this video series explaining to kids and teens the importance of protecting your skin from sun damage. As a young teen it is tough to realize that the potential for skin cancer is possible at such a young age. It is no longer just a skin disease for "old people". 

 I recently viewed a news report on CBS by Dermatologist Professionals stating that tanning beds used by individuals in their teens and early  twenties will increase an individual's chances of developing a skin cancer lesion or tumor by 75% as they age when compared to the sun's natural rays.
 

 Don't get me wrong, it is important to use sunscreen in the natural sun to protect yourself from the dangerous UVA sun rays, but it is the sudden burst of radiation you receive in the tanning beds which increase the chances of developing skin cancer with the aging process.

If you have a teen that is reluctant to use sunscreen or is contemplating going to a tanning bed, suggest they do a little research on the damages of overexposure of UVA radiation from the beds. What they do now is going to affect what they look like in 10 years.

The days of dark tans as a beauty statement is no longer the norm in the fashion industry. Take a close look at beauty and fashion magazines. Healthy, glowing skin is what photographers strive for. Spray tanning is the tool used by makeup artists and movie stars to give a glow to pale skin or to get an even, golden tan not a tanning bed or long hours laying in the sun.

Schedule an appointment with your Esthetician to get more information on skincare and how to protect you and your family from the damages of UVA Sun rays.

 If you wish to schedule an appointment for a spray tan in Butler Missouri I would love to help you.
