Why Sunbeds Are Risky—and What’s Safer
1. Why Sunbeds Aren’t Worth the Risk
Sunbeds emit concentrated ultraviolet (UV) radiation both UVA and UVB, that can damage your skin, eyes, and immune system. There’s no safe way to tan under UV light. In fact, even a single session before age 35 can boost your melanoma risk by up to 59%.
The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies sunbeds as Group 1 carcinogens on par with tobacco and asbestos.
Additional risks include premature ageing (wrinkles, leathery skin), DNA damage, suppressed immunity, eye injuries, even cataracts and increased risk for various skin cancers.
Alarmingly, social media trends are increasing sunbed use among young people under 25, despite widespread misinformation. Influencers may glamorise tanning, but many don’t realise the real, long-term health consequences.
2. Real Stories You Can’t Ignore
Personal stories like that of Tazmyn, who died of melanoma after habitual sunbed use, highlight just how devastating the consequences can be, even for young adults.
Experts are advocating for tighter restrictions or total bans on sunbeds here in the UK, similar to policies already in place in Australia and Brazil.
