It’s no secret that protecting your skin from sun damage is an important way to reduce your risk of skin cancer. Another well-known risk for skin cancer is the use of tanning beds. Even so, many people continue to go to tanning salons, seeking a bronzed glow that actually represents damaged skin.

Skin Cancer Risk and Tanning Beds
Light bulbs in a tanning bed work by releasing ultraviolet (UV) radiation. When the skin is exposed to the concentrated UV rays, it begins producing more pigment, which darkens the skin and makes it appear tan. The skin becomes darker, however, is that it is attempting to protect itself from additional damage from the UV rays.

In the process, the UV rays from tanning beds also cause damage to the DNA in skin cells, which the cells must then work to undo. However, the skin cells’ attempt to repair DNA isn’t always successful. And it is that damaged DNA that can mutate and raise your risk of developing skin cancer.

Two types of UV rays, UVA and UVB, can cause skin cancer. Tanning beds release mostly UVA rays, which permeate the skin more deeply than UVB rays. In addition to being linked to skin cancer, UVA rays are also a culprit behind certain signs of premature aging, such as age spots, “leathery” skin, and developing a crop of wrinkles before your time.
