Many teens and young adults who tan indoors do so despite knowing the health risks of the practice, according to a new survey.
The results show 86 percent of Caucasian women aged 14 to 22 who tan indoors say they used tanning beds within the last year even though they know using the beds increase the risk of skin cancer.
In addition, 87 percent of indoor tanners said they think a tan makes people look more attractive, compared with 66 percent of people who don’t use indoor tanning beds.
