Warning

• Probably the most important consideration is that ultraviolet rays are the primary cause for skin cancer, including the most deadly types.
  
  

Aging Skin

• Skin that is often exposed to ultraviolet rays also tends to age faster. This results in more wrinkles, age spots and unflattering changes in texture.
  
  

Sunburn

• Tanning beds can cause sunburn just like the sun can, particularly in people with fair skin.
  
  

Eye Problems

• People have reported eye injuries from tanning beds including corneal burns, cataracts and retinal damage. Anyone using a tanning bed should wear protective eye gear.
  
  

Cost

• Obtaining a tan in the sunlight is free, but customers must pay to use tanning beds at salons, or purchase one for home use for a significant price.
