Surveys have shown that indoor tanners are less likely to sunburn when they are outdoors. Indoor tanning units are designed to help you minimize your risk of sunburn.

Indoor tanners are 80% less likely to sunburn outdoors than non-tanners.

Cancer rates are higher in sun deprived areas of the world and decrease significantly as one gets closer to the equator. A 1994 study shows that Northern women have 5 times greater risk of ovarian cancer than Southern women who receive more direct sun exposure.

Malignant melanoma skin cancer is most common in people who do not receive regular sun exposure, and most frequently develops on parts of the body that are not regularly exposed to sunlight.

Like so many of life's pleasures, tanning should be enjoyed in intelligent moderation. Avoid sunburn at all costs.
