Indoor tanning salons provide an element of control not possible when tanning outdoors.

Anti-tanning nay Sayers who claim it's best to avoid tanning facilities are missing the point. The indoor tanning industry's claim is this: For people who want to tan, indoor tanning units give you the control over the frequency and duration of your exposure. With such control, you reduce the risk of getting a damaging sunburn. That's the key.

The most creditable research to date shows that sunburn, not moderate tanning, is responsible for sun-related skin disorders. In fact moderate tanning is actually your skin's natural, albeit limited, defense against sunburn.

Generally, people who work indoors are more susceptible to sunburn than those who work outdoors. Outdoor workers also have a lower incidence of skin cancer. Tans help protect them against permanent skin damage. By federal law, tanning salons cannot say that indoor tanning is "safe" or that it is "safer than the sun." "SunShine TAN" can say with pride that we are the best and smartest salon in town.
