Why are people still afraid of tanning in tanning beds?

Their are people that live in areas where they are exposed to sun every day for long periods time and never develop skin cancer. I believe that it is the ingredients that are put into lotions and sun blockers that actually cause skin cancer. The people that live in those areas do not use protection.

definitely not, it is the safest way 2 tan your body, sun beds and the sun itself can both cause skin cancer, bring on the st. tropez K

it would be weird since here in america, we do tanning.  in asia however, they lke it better when they're pale since that means they are inwell-off and they don't work in the field.  anyway, here's the link of the whitening pills  http://www.asianwhiteskin.com/faq.html

How long really depends on your skin color.  Ask the staff at the tanning salon for thier opinion.  For example, I am very fair skinned, so I don't go for more than 10 mins (but I don't go very often).  The beds only go for a maximum of 20 mins, because even if you are very dark, it is not safe to go in longer than that.\n\nIt is best to go only once every other day or less!  It's really not safe to go at all, but if you're gonna go, go every other day or less.\n\nThe people at the tanning salon I used to go to said if you are fair-skinned, start out at 7 mins.  Then, every other time you come back (if you're going regularly), add 1 or 2 mins.  Use your judgement on that one, if you got burned the last time, don't add more, you'll get burned again.\n\nSo in other words, if you started on the 1st of the month, you'd go \nApril 1- 7 mins\nApril 3- 7 mins.\nApril 5- 8 or 9 mins\nApril 7- 8 or 9 mins\nApril 9- 10 mins\n\nUnless you get burned-- then don't go until it is fully healed!

it is not good for anyone to tan it wrinkles the skin and causes cancer..use a self creme tanner like dove or olay they are great and no longer like the old ones that turn you orange, they are right with the regular creme..dove is in a tan colored bottle, use the one for your skin type.....no one should ever tan in a booth or  the sun....the risks are not worth the results..////

I am 26 years old and still afraid of the dark. I sleep well either drunk or completly exhausted.  If I am not either of those, I sleep with a light on and music playing.  The reason for me doing this is because I was molested as a child.  I later heard that many surviors also do this.  Maybe you were hurt as a child and that is something that you felt that you could control by being able to see your surroundings?  Good Luck!

Because some people are afraid of people that are different or look different than they are. Or they are just racist. Either way, people need to realize that it's just skin, inside we're all the same.

Because they're rude, and it makes them feel better about themselves.\nThey don't even deserve the time you've taken to write this question!  I'm sure you're beautiful, whether you bake your skin & insides under the sun or not!  You are the intelligent one for being careful and informed about the sun's harmful effects.  So, put your nose in the air and KNOW that you will not be the one with crinkly, leather looking skin when you're 40.  You'll be as beautiful and fair as today....

Because of their skin color. I know that everyone needs to put on some sun screen. Just because your skin is dark doesn't mean you are protected form UV rays.

because of melatonin.  Is a natural paint in our body that protect the skin from the sun...if you used a tanning lotion in a wrong way or if you stay for a long in the sun your skin will react and you will look like that...next time use properly the sun tan lotion and follow the direction of the bottle...never spend to many time under the sun...and don't worry it will fade with the time and the proper care...

Actually the major symptom of tanning bed burn is itching.  It could also be a sun rash or a rash from the tanning bed cleaner.

It is mainly to avoid those nasty tanlines, but it feels really good to have the sun shining down on your bare naked body. Whenever I live somewhere with a private yard, I take any chance I can to sunbathe nude. It just feels good!

yes. dark always make us paranoid, it's something psychological. you have to make efforts to get over this phobia, and try to spend more time in some dark spaces, little by little, just to try to get used to dark. i succeeded in getting over my lightning phobia. good luck ;)
