Summer time, sum sum summer tiime- tan

Tanning beds greatly increase your risks of skin cancer and sun induced aging.  These effects are more notable in children than in adults because children's skin is more sensitive to the ultraviolet rays of the beds.  It is our recommendation that all teens and children avoid tanning beds at all costs.

I hope that this has been enlightening.
