Reversing the damage from tanning beds?
Haha I hope he's ^ joking. If that were true, those girls that tan year around (I've known plenty) would have taken about 60 years off of their lives. Honestly, the damage is hard to tell. I doubt you did THAT much damage since it was only a month but it depends on the person. There are some people that have gotten skin cancer after very little sun/tanning bed exposure but there are others who spend nearly their whole life in the sun and never get it. Better safe that sorry though so it's good you quit.
Reply:According to www.whatididwithmylife.com; you have taken 3.2 years off your life and increased you risk of having skin cancer by 235%...good job!





P.S., Glad you quit, for real!
Reply:I think it matters more on how much you tanned, and how long your sessions were. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you quit because I think tanning beds are really bad (at least the sun gives you a benefit with increased Vitamin D absorption - but don't stay out in it unprotected too long if you burn easily), but I don't know that you can calculate the effects so simply. Chances are you're fine, although I'm obviously not a doctor and can't put a garauntee on it, but I really don't think you're going to have a lot of negative effect after one month unless it was extremely high usuage. Use some sunlight and keep it natural. If you don't darken up, don't worry.
Reply:Probably zero.


I was a farm kid and worked in the sun for years and have had no ill effect.


A lot of which one hears is fear mongering and makes great print.


Just use good common sense and use a sun screen that matches your skin type.


You need one hour of sun a day to stay healthy. It also combats depression, and allows your body to manufacture vitamin d.
