- True- Indoor tanners have a higher risk of all forms of cancer. Tanning beds use high-pressure sunlamps and receive as much as 12 times as more UVA exposure.
- Warm and partly cloudy- Under partly cloudy conditions a phenomenon sometimes called the “broken-cloud effect” can come into play, resulting in higher UV levels than a clear sky would produce, and so a greater risk of sunburn- or worse.
- False- There is no such thing as a safe tan! All tanning is a sign of sun damage.
- Aging
- True
- 90%- of non melanoma skin cancers are associated with UV radiation.
- False- It is possible to still get skin cancer even in places that have not been exposed to the sun, so it is imperative to have regular check-ups with a dermatologist.
