It's old news that tanning beds increase the risk for (and in many cases even cause) skin cancer, but the latest tidbit is that the age at which you start tanning can also have a significant impact on your risk -- and not just because starting younger means tanning longer. In an article published in the March edition of the International Journal of Cancer, experts are recommending that policy makers restrict the access of minors to tanning beds and other tanning equipment. With cancer risks for people under age 35 jumping by as much as 75% when tanning beds are involved, as beautiful as tans are maybe we should look at different regulations across the board, for everybody.
