‼️ DON’T BE FOOLED INTO THINKING SUNBEDS ARE SAFE OR PROVIDE HEALTH BENEFITS.

⚠ Sunbeds are a Group 1 carcinogen — the highest cancer risk category. They increase the risk of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, at any age. The younger you start and the more often you use them, the greater your risk.

‼️ DON’T BE FOOLED INTO THINKING SUNBEDS ARE SAFER THAN THE SUN: Sunbeds emit UVA at much higher intensities to speed up tanning. UVA penetrates deeper into the skin, causing cumulative, largely irreversible damage, significantly increasing the risk of skin cancer — including melanoma, the most serious life-threatening form.

‼️ DON’T BE FOOLED INTO THINKING SUNBEDS PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR THE SUN: A “base tan” is a sign of damage. Using sunbeds before sun exposure simply adds to that damage — and increases it further if you then sunbathe.

‼️ DON’T BE FOOLED INTO THINKING YOU NEED SUNBEDS FOR VITAMIN D:
Vitamin D is produced by UVB, not UVA. Most sunbeds emit UVA, so they don’t effectively boost vitamin D. Safer sources include diet, supplements, and limited natural sunlight.

‼️ DON’T BE FOOLED INTO THINKING SUNBEDS MAKE YOU LOOK BETTER:
UVA is responsible for up to 80% of the visible signs of skin ageing. Sunbeds accelerate this process, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and premature ageing at a younger age.

🚫 Sunbeds are banned in some countries due to the inherent health risks and they are currently illegal for under-18s in the UK.

💛 Choose fake tan.

‼️ 1 in 5 people in the UK will develop skin cancer with 90% of cases caused by UV radiation from the sun (or sunbeds that emit extreme levels of UVA!)

If developing the UK’s most common cancer isn’t a big enough deterrent to avoid deliberate tanning and the use of sunbeds, as a nation that spends billions annually on anti-aging products and procedures - perhaps the fact that UVA radiation is also responsible for 80% of the visible signs of aging will empower people to take charge of their skin health?

🔑 Prevention is key:
❌ Don’t use sunbeds
✅ Wear sunscreen daily

‼ #1 SUNBEDS ARE SAFE:
Sunbed use is bad news at any age and dramatically increases the risk of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. They are classified as a group 1 carcinogen - the highest cancer risk category. AND the younger you are and more often you use them - the risk MASSIVELY INCREASES.

‼ #2 SUNBEDS ARE SAFER THAN THE SUN:
Sunbeds emit UVA at much higher intensities than the sun to make you tan quickly. UVA penetrates the skin at much deeper levels than UVB. Damage from UVA is cumulative, irreparable, causes cell damage and skin cancer - including melanoma which is one of the biggest killing cancers in the 15-34 age group.

‼ #3 SUNBEDS HELP PREPARE MY SKIN FOR THE SUN SO I DON’T BURN:
This is a common misconception, but put simply, all it does is add to the damage already done and if you intend to sunbathe, further damage you will do.

‼ #4 SUNBEDS BOOST MY VITAMIN D SUPPLY
UVB boosts vitamin D, NOT UVA. Any deficiencies, particularly in winter should be boosted with supplements and a healthy balanced diet.

‼ #5 A SUNBED TAN MAKES ME LOOK BETTER!
UVA is responsible for 80% of the visible signs of ageing - and as mentioned sunbeds emit much higher intensities of UVA than natural sunlight. The fact is, sunbed use will make you look MUCH older at a MUCH younger age.

‼ DON’T FORGET! Sunbeds are BANNED in some countries - they are illegal for use in the UK if you are under the age of 18 and MUCH MORE needs to be done to regulate this industry.

‼ DON’T BECOME A STATISTIC.
Many sunbed users have died from melanoma - this is not a coincidence.

‼ Please, if you use sunbeds STOP ‼

Healthy collagen relies on discipline and daily care because fibroblasts perform best when skin receives sustained micronutrient support. That’s why consistency in your skincare routine matters.
