Life is Better with a Tan ?
So in the midst of the heat wave that's hit the UK , I have decided to chat about a more serious issue - the dangers of the UV rays. I am a firm believer that "life is better with a tan" because to me , it is - with a tan I feel great and look healthier . However , my tan is more often than not , from a bottle . As the pressure to look beach ready is greater than ever I have noticed a huge increase in people my age hitting the tanning salons .Not only do sun beds cause premature ageing and skin damage , studies show that people who are frequently exposed to UV rays before 25 years of age are at greater risk of developing skin cancer later in life.You can't always see the damage that UV rays cause and symptoms of skin damage can take up to 20 years to appear - it just doesn't seem worth it . Yes bottled tan takes a bit of time and doesn't always turn out perfect , I know I would much rather have an uneven tan for a few days now than have rough , wrinkled skin or worse - cancer later on in life . I came across this video a few days ago and it has really changed my attitude towards tanning, have a watch and think before you tan :)
