Tanning facts part 2 How the device works and what’s in it.

Does exposure to the Mobile Tanning Device present a lower health risk than exposure to the sun? We need be exposed to a minimum of sunlight in order to stay healthy. Extensive tanning, however, increases the risk of skin cancer, as both UVB and UVA radiation can contribute to cancer. Too much radiation can also damage the skin’s elasticity,

resulting in premature ageing and the earlier appearance of wrinkles. Acute sunburn and excessive doses of radiation from the Mobile Tanning Device are therefore both harmful. Furthermore, there are absolutely NO grounds whatsoever to support the notion that radiation from the Mobile Tanning Device is less harmful than radiation from the sun.
Should

I use the Mobile Tanning Device during the winter months to avoid Vitamin D deficiency? You don’t need to use the Mobile Tanning Device to obtain sufficient levels of Vitamin D. You can obtain this vitamin either through a varied diet, or with the help of a dietary supplement. By having healthy eating habits and a proper intake of nutrients, you

will feel many positive effects on your health. For most people, being exposed to the sun (UVB) during the summer months is enough to synthesise Vitamin D. However, during the late winter months, many people’s Vitamin D levels may be too low. When this is the case, nutritionists recommend eating more fish. For all those who have a low fish intake

and limited exposure to the sun, Vitamin D supplements can also prove quite beneficial. Be aware that the Mobile Tanning Device is designed to help you achieve or maintain a tan, and not for generating optimal Vitamin D synthesis. Furthermore, the exposure time needed to synthesise Vitamin D is much shorter than the time needed to achieve a tan.
