" A COPPERTOP'S LIFE ARTIFACT" PART II

TANNING BEDS, TANNING SALONS.





A  tanning bed  or sun tanning bed is a device emitting ultraviolet radiation (typically 97% UVA and 3% UVB, +/-3%) used to produce a cosmetic tan.
This kind of artifact so in mode, is another one of the neverending list of artificialities, very effective, getting the tan you want, but at the same time very inappropiate and unnecessary. Because of the adverse effects on human health;  it is one of the biggest promoters of  cancer, specially;  skin cancer, cataracts, premature skin aging, suppression of the immune system, (all of this examples are included on the package you pay for) as a result of overexposure to UV radiation.
Why can't we humans be satisfied the way we look?  nor better why can we just enjoy a sunshine bath and take the color the sun generously give us for free.
