Yes, both ultraviolet (UV) and blue light can be harmful to the skin. UV light can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Blue light, primarily emitted from electronic devices, can penetrate the skin and potentially contribute to skin aging and hyperpigmentation. It is recommended to protect the skin from both types of light with sunscreen and limiting screen time.

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.

Is coconut oil good for getting a tan?

Whenever tanning, either indoor or outdoor is best to use a tanning lotion and not oils. Oils are more likely to burn your skin, and do not give you the nutrients you need in your skin to hold a tan and the lotions help prevent the 'leather skin' from over sun exposure. NEVER let your skin burn, burning is the main cause of skin cancer. And, not all burns turn into a tan, it CAN if its not a bad burn.. but most likely your skin will peel off leaving lighter patches where you burned.
