    Probably the racist ones. Sorry a bit profound but I hope someone gets it.

    Here's the problem, UV causes premature aging and cancer but if you don't get enough sun you'll get a Vitamin D deficiency...
    to solve this problem when I go outside I'll wear a black plastic bag over my head with a matching turtle neck sweater, but then I take off my pants. This way I'll always get enough Vitamin D now, and when I get older my face and upper body will be smooth, young, and cancer free. I'll hide my "wrinkly old parts" under pants and amputate anything that gets cancer!!! It's not like 'they'll' work when I'm old anyway.

    BRILLIANT!!!

    Man, you should write for Guiness...Their Comercials are killing me with the "Brilliant!" endings.

    BTW, Wearing black makes the sun's heat concentrate in those areas, so you will Cook your brains and then you will forget to put your Pants back on.

    Forgive me for dragging up a discussion that has long since found peace in the virtual graveyard ~ but I found this site from Board Reader dot Com .... while researching the Vitamin D Issue.

    I was deeply disturbed by Jaynee's Indoor Tanning Experience
    Standards in most sunbed places are seriously lacking. They let my kids on for 12 mins for their first time when they were only 14. They didn't ask their age or grade their skin type. I have never seen so much red skin a few hours later. THEY JUST WANT THE MONEY.!!!
    This problem makes those of us that are responsible and caring UV service providers look like schiza I wanted to let Jaynee know that not all salon operators are so ignorant or careless....... but alas, the industry itself is still struggling to ADMIT that minimum standards of operations are needed system wide.....

    Most salons are Independent Business Owners ---- and they are very competitive with their peers in the neighborhood. It's HARD to tell them ANYTHING ~ even if it's for the GOOD of the Consumer and the GOOD of the industry at large.

    Jaynee .... only are really BAD, SHODDY outfit would have treated your kids like that. Most people will go to a salon based upon the convenience of location ---- but I would suggest to all ---- it's WORTH the trip to go further and even spend more money to go to a REAL professional salon.

    A good salon will skin type you, discuss your health history, the history of your family, the REASONS you are seeking to use the services, examine your skin and discuss areas of concern (moles, suspiscious freckles etc) they will take you on a tour and explain ALL aspects of the good, the bad and the ugly of UV exposures..... they don't throw you in and cook you up!

    I started tanning at a 'salon' 13 years ago after being diagnosed with S.A.D (I'm from Long Island and moved to Minnesota) ... and I can honestly say - I have seen the good bad and ugly sides of indoor tanning.....

    Moderation is the key. Knowing your body and skin's response is another. UV Light - Like Air and Water is a natural essential need for all life. I would probably be in the Women's Correctional Facility if I were left to deal with thess freekin winters without a tanning bed Please don't let THAT experience turn you away from tanning..... Don't go to anyone that does not treat you as I marked above.
