Tanning Beds Can Kill
Human Skin contains melanin (the pigment in our skin).
When exposed to the sun, more melanin is produced, making the skin darker - causing it to wrinkle and possibly cause melanoma.
Tanning once or more a month will increase your chances of getting cancer by 55%
Every year more than 1 million new cases of melanoma (the deadlist form of skin cancer) are diagnosed each year.
-87,900 people in the U.S. are diagnosed a day.
This means one person dies of melanoma an hour.
