When you visit an indoor tanning facility, your skin produces a tan in same way that it does when you bask in sun -- through absorption of ultraviolet light.

================================================= However, one of dangers of outdoor tanning is exposing yourself to too much ultraviolet light. Climate changes in atmosphere that has many of us slathering on sunblock and sunscreen before we step outside in hot sun. =================================================

One of benefits of indoor tanning versus outdoor tanning is that it allows you to control amount of UV light that you are exposed to, so that you do not get a sunburn or prepare your epidermis for a predisposition to skin cancer.

================================================= You cannot control harmful UV rays from sun anymore than you can control weather. =================================================

Your inner and outer body are two sides of same coin. If colors and forms of your body are changing outwardly, do not be mistaken, for they are also changing inwardly. If surgery is needed on outside, it might be an indication that surgery will soon be needed on organs inside as well.
