Like other fields of aesthetics, it was found that in recent times there are people who have become addicted to tanning booths, that is never quite enough tan and continue to attend more and more, with the consequent health damage that the abuse of this system creates.
Recall that the use of tanning is so harmful to the skin as sun without protection, ie it produces photodamage and possibly skin cancer.
A study published in Archives of Dermatology showed that many young people have addictive behaviors toward the booths, attended by compulsively, and in addition there are suffering from anxiety, and even abuse of other substances such as alcohol and marijuana, more the average percentage of the population.
As with drugs, the person develops tolerance, ie it needs more and more “dose” to achieve the desired effect “in this case are never dark enough and therefore continue to expose it”.
The studies will advance to identify ways to prevent this type of addiction. For now, we can only be informed to prevent ourselves or someone close to the point of developing an addiction to the use of booths. While it is important to look good, more is maintaining physical and mental health, learn to become aware and stop on time.
