i'm 16 and wanted to start tanning in tanning beds and my parents want me to be safe about it. i have never done this before and i wanted to get some info on which was safer, tanning beds or tanning outside? if anyone can provide a website or something or if you just have info let me know please.

Answer:

Tanning is not safe...any way you do it. You are setting yourself up for skin cancers when you are older and wrinkles way sooner than you would expect. It is best to stay out of the sun, wear sunscreen and enjoy being beautiful for many years of your life!

A canned tan! Neither the sun nor tanning beds is safer. Both are dangerous without protection. My ten-year-old niece, who goes to the pool everyday during the summer for hours and whose mother puts sun block in her hair, just had a pre-cancerous mole removed from her head. Why would you want to risk cancer?

Neither one is safer..

Spray tanning is about as safe as it gets.

I don't tan {I'm black} but my friends who have used them said that tanning takes alot of time and money I had one friend who started getting skin blotches from a tanning salon so she stopped going and it was she fine but her doctor says she can't go back to tanning salons so I say and she says that they aren't safe some doctors think they cause cancer

They are both dangerous try that new spray tanning thing..

Neither.
