Study: Tanning Salons Still Providing False Information

According to a study published online in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, tanning “salons are still providing false information about the harmful effects of tanning.” The study found that “more than 60 percent of the salons contacted denied any danger from the ultraviolet exposure from tanning and made unlawful claims of specific health benefits,” such as saying that “tanning helped vitamin D production and…could prevent future sunburns.”
