Hazards of Tanning on a regular basis?

[TooPowerful4u]

Im just curiuos how hazardous tanning beds are. Like if someone were to tan 5 days a week yr round, how would that effect them in the long run?

basically if u did that much tanning, it would increase your chances of getting melanoma and youd look like a nice leather bag by the time you are 30, id only tan when needed..(photoshoots, comps.etc) if you reaaly need color just sit outside in the sun once in a while for vitamin d. LOL i forgot where you live...SNOWBANK heheh, how about some self tanner??

what about mistic tanning? it leaves a pretty natural looking tan minus the UV rays. i was doing this for a while and pretty happy with the results. its a littel bit costly but what isnt when you are trying to look good.

peace,

Another reason to drink your green tea.

It has been been shown to very effective in accordance with radiation. Hell it helps on the scale of chemo patients.

Bro, let me tell you, I use to be a suntan addict. If I went to the gym, I did not leave until I sat in tanning bed. Though the whole tanning thing went
with the whole "bodybuilding thing"

Well I have been cut up more times than I care to remember with countless
basel cells. I have a good Dermatologist who knows all too well I compete
so he is particularly careful to make sure there are no scars.

I finally did have one Melanoma. You know of course that can be the
killer kind, fortunately with every 3 month visits it was immediately discovered
and did not mean anythng in end.

I always thought a tan was part of the whole "super bod" thing that I needed
to project but let me tell you I've learned my lesson all too well.

Stay away from tanning beds!

Im a seasonal tanner, when it is spring I do the beds 1-2 times till I get a nice color then it is like once a week or once every 10 days until summer hits. Get some lotion, use a nice bed, one that is like 10-12 mins, lotion the hell out of your self. Bulking, winter = Pastey color, Ripped, Summer = Tan.

just the way it is, who wants to see a tan fat guy anyway?
but I guess a Pastey fat guy is just as fad

Although could be too pricey for most. A real tan with UV exposure sounds nice doesnt it?

I only tan when preparing for a show. How people enjoy tanning is beyond me. I lay in a pool of sweat...fucking hot in there dammit!

5 days a week, man you gotta be careful. Skin cancer is an epidemic these days. Tanning is your skins response to defending itself against harmful UV rays, so you know you are doing something damaging. If you are really concerned with being tan, just get some of that sunless tanning cream. Don't they have machines now that can just paint you?

Yeah I can vouch....

A guy I know had some serious issues with tanning. This guy was 50yr old bb. He is an awesome bb big full and round muscle bellies for a white guy. Anyway he has been tanning since the early 80's. He had several portions of tissue removed from his back and face from a Plasitc surg. The crazy thing is I asked him if he was going to stop tanning. He stated "naw, ill just cut way back". WTF I told him he was in idiot to playing russian roulette for a damn tan. I guess I just dont get the reasoning for this. Me I stay nice and white unless Im competing.
