A golden tan has long been associated with attractiveness and beauty.
But what if you pay for it with years of your life?
Oncologists have published a report: just 10 sessions in a solarium per year increase the risk of melanoma by several percent.
The UV-A rays used in the lamps penetrate deep into the dermis. This not only causes cancer but also causes photoaging.
Women and men who are fond of visiting solariums are much more likely to experience negative consequences such as wrinkles and pigment spots. In addition, their skin loses its elasticity at an accelerated rate.
Many people justify their visits to a solarium by a lack of vitamin D.
However, scientists have debunked this myth: to produce the daily requirement of the vitamin, it is enough to spend 15-20 minutes a day in the sun.
Residents of northern regions find it easier to replenish the deficiency by taking special supplements.
Fake tanning is not a solution, but a threat.
What to replace the dangerous ritual with? If you dream of a bronze skin tone without risk, choose matting products with a tinting effect.
Try self-tanners with dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Modern products do not leave orange streaks, and the effect lasts up to a week.
For natural glowing skin, add foods with beta-carotene to your diet: carrots, pumpkin, spinach.
Your skin deserves care, not experiments.
