If you’re considering using a sunbed to get a tan, think twice! Sunbeds are a group 1 carcinogen and are known to cause all types of skin cancer, including the most deadly form - melanoma.

Damage is cumulative, irreparable and bad news at any age, but when used, even once at a younger age (under 35) your risk dramatically increases.

Don’t become a statistic.

The only way to get a SAFE tan is to FAKE IT!
