    Default stop using sunbeds girls (video)

    Is it worth the risk?

    This is so sad. An Australian woman just turned 26 has malignant melanoma which will result in her death in days to weeks )doctors say).

    poor girl Is it too late to get the melanoma removed?


    I stopped using tanning beds and staying out of the sun about 1 year ago.. still need to get a skin test though. I don't understand how people still go tanning knowing how bad is for them. If I had any idea it was that bad when I was younger I would've quit a long time ago.

    She sure looks healthy and pretty for someone who only has weeks to live.

    Poor girl.

    It's not the mole itself that kills you. The reason melanomas are so bad is because they easily metastacize and spread to other organs such as the brain, lungs and liver. In her case it spread to her lymph nodes, which is also an indication that breast cancer has gotten bad as well.

    She looks healthy because most cancer treatments like chemo and radiology fuck your ass up and make you look like hell.

    I think Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world and the ozone layer there is very thin. When I was there I absolutely needed sunscreen whenever I walked outdoors otherwise I'd burn, and that's never happened to me anywhere else.

    Thats sad. That's why I don't tan anymore. It sucks that something that makes you look so good is so horrible for you and will make you look not so good years down the road.

    I was white as a cave rat until last winter, when I tried a tanning bed to help get over my SAD.

    Now I go maybe once, every other week, for 10 minutes.

    I'm well aware of the dangers. But at my age (49), I figure I don't have much time left to give in to these silly, vain impulses.

    You can buy light boxes that emit the correct wavelength of light used to treat SAD without subjecting yourself to the UV rays.

    Of course. But I wouldn't get any color that way. I'd look, again, like a hairless cave rat.

    you know i think its funny that throughout history men have always found women more attractive through things that are bad for their bodies.

    tanning
    heels
    corsets
    etc

    its annoying. though i cant really say that i dont enjoy tanning becuase i do, but aside fom looking good, tanning beds are expensive. i refuse to spend my money on them anymore.

    as far as fake tans, i dont like them, i can usually spot them a mile away, and tend to look spotchy, or uneven.

    So sad. She is planning her 26th birthday, and her funeral, and she doesn't know which ones is gonna come first.

    I gave up tanning beds a long time ago. I'm so fair, and have so many moles all over my body, I felt the risk was just to high.

    I love laying out in the sun, and I do lay out a few times a week......with SPF 65 sunblock all over my body.

    I use a fake tanner, I hate the way I look so pale, but I also do wonder how safe the fake tan is. Putting thoes chemicals all ovr your body several times a week, I question the safety of that as well, and wish I could be happy pale, but it looks so bad.

    I question their safety too, Kaylinn. DHA's haven't been approved for all that long (since the 60s?) and even though the FDA does approve the use of them for tanning it doesn't mean much to me, it seems they always approve everything and then do recalls according to the long term "testing" on the general public.

    I still use them, but I stopped when I was preggy.
    I'm confused, but the Chewbacca Truffle Shuffle cleared it up. - Emily

    ^^ So many things are deemed as "safe" and only years later it comes out that they are, in fact, very harmful. There's just no way to know for sure.

    Take Depo Provera, the birth control shot. I was on it 8 years, and they told me all along it was completly safe. When I get off it I find out it causes bone density loss. I had a bone scan, and I am borderline osteoporosis. At 26.

    Even smoking was thought to be safe at one point.

    My Anatomy teacher said that every person's body can tolerate a specific amount of UV rays before it turns into cancer. He seems to believe that once you've reached that amount, (at age 20 or 100), then you will deffo start to develop cancer if you get ANY more. He says that he's had to have many removed now that he's in his late 40's and that he has to go fishing with sunscreen, long sleeves, and a wide brim hat. Apparently some people can spend their entire life in the sun with no worries of cancer, but who wants the premature aging, I say.
    I'm not much for tanning anyway, but now I always wear a very high SPF when out in the sun.

    It's never worth it to me. I am an avid high SPF sunscreen wearer.

    I know the risk I am taking by tanning but I accept that. I look deathly sick when I am pale and I am allergic to the fake bake stuff. Yes..all of it. So while I am still dependant on my looks for my income...I dont have much of a choice.
    I dont tan my face though...sun damage often is more prevalent there because the skin is thinner. I match my face to my body with bronzer.

    Something I do is Versaspa, its a spray tan that is great. They are found at Sunsup Tanning here, but i am sure they have other locations. I do lay out for a bit in the sun once or twice a week. Its not great but I love a little warmth from the sun!

    Are you sure you look "deathly sick", or you just don't feel comfortable with being pale? There's plenty of gorgeous ladies out there that are pale gals and many think their beautiful. (Dita comes to mind)

    Pale does not =sick. But maybe society with it's rage for the tan, has made us think that.

    Call me crazy, but I'd rather possibly look "sick" to some people rather than actually being sick, especially with the OP.

    ^^^ You never know. Addiction is addiction period. One addiction can be as deadly and hard to quit as the next. It depends on the person.

    Oh I see many girls who rock the pale look. I'm not sayiong it cant be hot..it absolutely can. Some girls are blessed with that wonderful peaches and cream,porcalein complexion. I am not. My veins show through my skin, the circles under my eyes are highlighted, I look 20 pounds fatter... pale is not a good look for me.

    Whenever I do not have a tan i get constantly asked(even by people who have never seen me before and therefire are not comparing) If I'm sick. Bleh.

    Im the same way Cameron... I am constantly told I look sick if im not tanned. Fake Bakes don't work for me... they look nasty icky on me.

    I figure im a smoker so I might as well tan as well lol. *stacks up her increasing risks of cancer*
