While we understand that the sun and vitamin d are crucial to health and, well, happiness, we're saying this is a good thing because it stops people from not going out door, but going outdoors to bake in a bikini or speedo.
On that note, we still think it's not the best idea just to later yourself in chemicals instead. At least it's helping people avoid skin cancer.
A new study shows that 40% of those who use the fake tanning are spending less time in the sun, which means that pushing for fake tans (we're sure they'll get better from the orange kinds) could help drive people away from harmful rays!
"The message I give is, your natural skin color is where you were born to be, but if you really want to be tan get it out of a bottle. Getting a tan out of a bottle is incredibly safe, whereas getting tanned from tanning beds and lying out is not."
Also, it'll help you avoid wrinkles!
Though, we don't really understand why people feel the need to tan at all! You're beautiful how you are!
