Is the exposure to a tanning lamp the same as exposure to the sun?

Tanning lamps are just as bad for your skin as prolonged exposure to the sun. Tanning lamps emit the same Ultra violet rays that can lead to wrinkles, premature aging, and skin cancer. Tanning lamps allow you to control your exposure to UVA rays, unlike out door tanning. However, tanning lamps can be two to three times more powerful than outside exposure to the sun. For information on the risks of tanning go to the FDA Risks of Tanning.

Do you knee tanning lotion to suntan?

Not really. It's best if you use sunscreen. However, sunscreen may also cause skin cancer if your out in the sun for too long. its also bad if you use no sunscreen at all and go spend the whole day in the sun. You dont want to get sun burned to i suggest you look for a good sunscreen to prevent sun burn.

The two tanning alternatives above are better than tanning in a salon or in a tan bed. Tan beds cause skin cancer, eventually (or puts you higher at risk for it).
