Tan Is Skin Damage, Not Protection
Description
The Sunbed Association is spreading dangerous misinformation by claiming tanned skin protects against sunburn — a stance fiercely rejected by health experts, cancer organizations, and dermatologists who insist a tan is proof of skin damage and a major cancer risk. They argue sun exposure is mostly beneficial if you avoid sunburn, but the NHS and FDA say there’s no safe way to tan — from the sun or tanning beds. When challenged, the association cited flawed studies, but fact-checkers found their evidence doesn’t hold up — and the medical consensus is crystal clear: a tan equals damage, and the only safe approach is to avoid tanning entirely.
