Tanning Addiction

Despite the increased risk of developing melanoma, the most lethal form of skin cancer, people continue to use tanning beds. Recent studies show that tanning in tanning beds releases an addictive reward and reinforcement trigger in the brain. Researchers found that the brain activity and corresponding blood flow was similar to that seen in people addicted to drugs and alcohol.

Although the majority of people that use tanning beds are aware of the increased risk of developing skin cancer and speeding up the skin's aging process, the use of tanning continues to rise. It is speculated that over half of the estimated 30 million Americans that use tanning beds are thought to have "tanning addiction disorder". This is just another study that is beginning to gain traction to fight the many harmful side effects of indoor tanning beds.

If maintaining a tan is important to you, opt for an organic spray tan. It may be hard for some to realize the harm they are causing their skin by tanning in beds that emit UV rays but spray tanning is the only healthy alternative that is 100% safe.
