With the cold bitter winter here some of us start to get a little depressed at the sight of our pale complexion in the mirror and run quickly to the nearest tanning salon.  Here, the tanning beds offer us sunlight 365 days a year and give us a golden tan as natural as the sun itself but be careful these machines are not perfect like the tan they leave behind.

Many dermatologist warn that the artificial ultra violet rays these machines produce are directly related to alterations found in the cellular  DNA..  This could have effects on the body such as allergic or toxic reactions, tumorous lesions, and premature aging of the skin but the most worrisome effect is that of skin cancer.

If you want to maintain that sun glow look this winter I suggest using self tanners, that are easy to use and don´t leave any side affects.
