Sunbeds emit the same UV radiation as the sun, but at much greater intensities. Sunbeds are classified as a group 1 carcinogen for a reason. Even one sunbed use can increase your risk of melanoma by 20% and sunbed use before the age of 35 can increase the risk of melanoma by 75%!

The message is clear, when it comes to UV, there’s no such thing as a safe tan!
