Saturday, May 18, 2002"The message is, 'A safe tanning bed is like saying there is a safe cigarette. It doesn't exist,'" says Shelley Sekula-Rodriguez, an assistant dermatology professor at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. " ...If a person wants to add color, they should use sunless tanners in a bottle. They are very safe." Of course, the sun isn’t safe, either: “On average, a person receives about 80 percent of their lifetime sun exposure by the time he or she is 18, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (ADA). During T-ball tournaments, family beach excursions, theme park forays and physical education classes, children are racking up hours under the sun.” Luckily, they can’t make laws requiring us to keep our children inside on sunny days, or can they? posted by Sydney on 5/18/2002 08:31:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
