If a person wants to enjoy a beautiful tan all year round, then he is most likely a frequent visitor to solariums.

But such a procedure is considered harmful.

In addition, a solarium should not be considered as a replacement for sunlight.

Dermatologist-oncologist Natalia Gaidash spoke about this in more detail in an interview with Sputnik radio .

Even if you have a vitamin D deficiency, you should not go to a solarium. It is much safer to compensate for the lack of sunlight with special medications that a doctor can prescribe.

It is necessary to take into account that excessive ultraviolet radiation seriously harms health. Artificial tanning can provoke oncology and other serious problems.

The doctor noted that only natural ultraviolet light can be used. Sun rays in the morning hours are safer.

Gainash also noted that it is necessary to visit a dermatologist for examination every year. If spots, moles and other problems appear, then you cannot delay the appointment.
