do sun beds actually make u look older?

i usually fake tan but when it starts to wash off it looks so dirty. i also hate the process of using self tanner. i want to start going to the sun beds maybe a few times a week to get a tan but i’m scared to look 40 by the time i’m 30.

Yes.

You are exposing yourself to UV radiation, which ages the skin and is a setup for skin cancer.

Have you seen There's Something About Mary? There's an older character who looks like a used baseball glove made of tobacco.

@SomeMichGuy never heard of it but surely if you use them in moderation it can’t be that bad

@hollyyoung The Greeks were right about normal things.

When tiny bits of something will kill you (Plutonium, for instance), it's hard to take/use it in moderation.

UV rays do CUMULATIVE damage over time...
