Ever wanted to get a tan? That’s probably all of us at some point. We’re all probably aware of the health risks of staying too long in the sun too. So, many people resort to tanning beds (AKA “the safer option”).  Newsflash: they’re not. Tanning beds are – and will never be – safe OR safer than the sun.

Which is why today, in dedication to Skin Cancer Awareness Month, I’ll share with you in detail how tanning beds affect our skin and overall health.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• The hidden risks of indoor tanning
• How you can get tanned WITHOUT the exponential health risks
• Other tanning methods you should keep your distance from
