People haven’t really been using sunbeds long enough to be sure of their full effects, but studies indicate that there may well be a potential risk of skin cancer. Because sunbeds use only UVA, you won’t get sunburnt. However, this enables you to expose yourself to huge amounts of UVA, something you would not do at the beach where the prospect of getting sunburnt would limit your exposure. Sunbeds will also certainly contribute to your skin ageing more quickly.
