Is solarium good for our skin?
Solarium is not good for our skin, even if we hear that it’s a safer option for tanning our skin. When we expose our skin to natural UV rays it usually takes several hours for our skin to get tan, in a solarium it takes just a few hours or even minutes! Sunbeds- that's what the beds in a solarium are called- use UV rays to make your skin tan, but the UV rays are about 6 times stronger than the natural UV rays from the sun. UV rays are really cancerogenic by themself, but in a solarium they are a lot more dangerous with their stronger effect. Except for the higher possibility of getting cancer, there are a few less dangerous things that happen to our skin like faster signs of aging or pigmentation caused by UV rays. So the myth about solarium being a safer option for tan is a complete lie! And if you ever have used solarium you should go to the doctor to check your skin for any signs of cancer!
