My young step-daughter works in one and even she is aware of the increased incidence of young women in their twenties being diagnosed with melanoma. I just hope she is no longer using these tanning booths to get tan. In my opinion, Vitamin D supplementation is the safest bet (recommended is 2000-5000 IU's a day). There is also may be some merit for Vitamin D as a preventative from getting the flu. It helps to boost the immune system. I think indoor tanning salons are awful.

When I was young I was told tanning would HELP.... Guess what it did. I'm 35 and i have a great looking skin. I use lotion that will work well with my skin, helping my rash and keeping it soft. I see that people like to put BLAM on something. I dont think its the Sun or UV ! What i think is over doing anything will cause you harm. Take care and love the SUN. It makes me feel like i have so much energy. Its what I call a HAPPY PILL<3 Hi I’m Alice, I have a skin rash that will come and go! When I was young I was told tanning would HELP…. Guess what it did.

Because all you would need to do is spend 5 min. in a bed twice a week to get your weekly dose of vitamin D. Which in doing that you have less of a chance to develop a tan. So my question to you, Is that to much uv exposure to get vitamin D? Can I just say that indoor tanning is not telling everyone that they HAVE to get a tan in order to get vitamin D.

And the thing about science is that the conclusions reached are always tentative & subject to change. Doctors get smarter over time so the things they prescribed 50 or 100 years ago have been replaced with better treatments based on scientific research. And the stuff today will no doubt be different from the treatments in the future. But until we have more proof, the medical advice of doctors is the most reliable thing we've got. @Zipper – I don’t think anyone said cigarettes were good for you, they just didn’t tell you they were bad.
