Dangers of sunbeds

It is common knowledge that sunbeds are not good for you not only does it age your skin you are at risk of severe sunburn as proven by 14 year old Kirsty McRae.

I think it is disgusting that a girl of such a young age was aloud to go on a sunbed never mind being left unsupervised for 19 minutes leading into her going home and collapsing and suffering first degree burns to 70% of her body.

It shows how much appearance means to young girls now as Kirsty went on the sunbed as she was “feeling pale”. I don’t think teenagers are fully aware of the damage they are causing to there skin and the poor effects it will have on there skin in the long run.

If you are a teenager you need to stay clear of sunbeds and if you really want to look more bronzed try the safer option of fake tan. Plenty of salons now offer fake tan spray tans or buy a bottle and apply your own tan. Fake tan gives you an instant bronzed goddess look and you are not at risk of ageing skin, skin cancer or causing severe burns to your skin.

Hopefully the below picture is an eye-opener as to what effects sunbeds have to your skin!
