Keypoints The darkening of the skin after being in the sun (a tan) is produced when UV rays from sunlight trigger the production of the pigment melanin in the skin. Far from being healthy, a tan is actually a sign that the skin has been damaged and is trying to protect itself. Exposure to the sun increases exposure to UV rays and this can raise the risk of developing skin cancer. Exposure to sunlight helps the body to produce vitamin D, but Cancer Research UK says the amount we receive in our day-to-day lives is sufficient. Sunbathing isn't needed to help create vitamin D. The safest way to achieve a tan is to use fake tanning lotions. However, a fake tan offers little protection against the sun's UV rays, so you will still need to wear sunscreen. Sunbeds emit the same harmful UV rays as the sun and cause the same skin damage problems as normal sunbathing. Many people strive to get and maintain a tanned look, especially during the summer months when skin is more likely to be shown off. And it is a popular belief that being tanned is a healthy look, but is this really true? What is a tan and how is it produced? The darkening of the skin that is commonly referred to as tanning is produced when UV rays from the sun trigger the production of the pigment melanin in the skin. Rather than being a sign of a healthy process, getting a tan through sunbathing actually means that your skin has been damaged and is trying to protect itself. Dr. Vivienne Nathanson, from the British Medical Association, said, "People need to be educated about the myths of tanning. A suntan is not a sign of good health. A tan, even when there's no burning, always means the skin has been damaged." Even though a tan will fade over time, the damage it has caused skin remains. This skin damage puts you at a greater risk of skin cancer and it also causes premature ageing. Some people get their tans by using sunbeds. However, sunbeds mimic the effect of the sun by emitting UVA radiation and cause skin damage in the same way as normal sunbathing. In fact, said Cancer Research UK (CRUK), "There's no such thing as a safe tan - unless it comes out of a bottle." There are some myths that suggest that getting a tan could help protect against the sun's harmful effects, but as Dr. Nathanson said, "A suntan is not nature's own sunscreen, it does not protect you from ultra-violet radiation." In fact, continued exposure will only result in increasing your risk of skin cancer. A spokesperson for the Australasian College of Dermatologists added, "A suntan does not prevent skin cancer. It's a sign of exposure to enough ultraviolet radiation to damage the skin, increasing your risk of premature skin ageing, photo-ageing and skin cancer." Harsh reality of tanning The harsh reality of tanning is that, whether through sunbathing or using sunbeds, people are literally risking their lives. "A tan isn't a sign of health," explained a spokesperson for the UK Department of Health's Sun Safe campaign. "Your skin tans in order to protect itself from more skin damage. If people changed their behaviour, they would dramatically reduce their risk of skin cancer." Neither do you need to have experienced sunburn in order to be damaged by the sun. "The damage done to the skin from even one episode of overexposure can never be repaired," explained a spokesperson for the Australasian College of Dermatologists. "That is why it is so important to make sun protection a routine part of your life, from birth to old age." According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), exposure to UV rays in the course of getting a tan could also have effects on your immune system. "Several studies have demonstrated that exposure to environmental levels of UV radiation alters the activity and distribution of some of the cells responsible for triggering immune responses in humans," explained a spokesperson. As a result, sun exposure may increase the risk of developing viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections, an outcome far from the consequences many sun worshippers bargain for. But it hasn't always been the case that people desire a suntan - 100 years ago, most people craved pale skin, believing it to be a social and fashion asset. Sunlight and vitamin D Despite the obvious dangers of unprotected sun exposure, we do need some contact with sunlight as it helps with the production of vitamin D. This is an essential vitamin that plays a number of important roles, including helping regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, which is needed to help keep our teeth and bones healthy. Some vitamin D comes from food, such as oily fish, liver, fortified foods and eggs, but most of it comes from exposure to sunlight. "The vitamin forms under the skin in reaction to sunlight, with the best source being summer sunlight," said the Food Standards Agency (FSA). "Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means you don't need it every day because any of the vitamin your body doesn't need it immediately is stored for future use." Tanning, however, or any other unprotected, excessive exposure to sun shouldn't be used as an excuse for obtaining vitamin D. "Although sunshine is vital for our bodies to produce vitamin D, we get a sufficient dose from exposure as part of our daily routine," explained a CRUK spokesperson. "Deliberate exposure to sunlight does not provide any health benefits." Action points Be aware that sunbathing or using a sunbed increases the risk of developing skin cancer and other skin problems (such as premature ageing). Make sure your skin is protected with sunscreen if you're out in the sun, regardless of whether you have a tan or not. If you're desperate for a tan, the safest way of achieving it is to fake it by using tanning lotion. Faking it If you would like to have a golden glow, then faking it by using a tanning lotion is the safest way. There are a variety of fake tan lotions on the market to choose from and many produce realistic results. However, a fake tan offers little protection from the sun's UV rays and you will still need to take the same precautions in the sun, by using sunscreen and wearing protective clothes, as you would when you have no tan at all. Summary Having a bronzed body after sunbathing or using sunbeds is not a healthy way to be. In gaining your tan, the UV rays from the sun or sunbed will have caused irreversible damage to your skin, increased your risk of developing skin cancer and will have speeded up your skin's ageing process. As Cancer Research UK says, "There's no such thing as a safe tan (unless it comes out of a bottle)."

The only gym membership I will own! Posted by hokijo on 07/15/2005 I joined Xcel in April and have loved, loved, loved working out there. The equipment is always clean as well is the gym and the dressing room areas. When I first went there I was a little apprehensive about staff - usually a lot of meatheads walking around in a gym. I have yet to find an employee at Xcel that isn't friendly and nice and helpful. They offer some amazing classes and the trainers are incredible!

Cocoa Butter Is an excellent moisturizer that melts at body temperature, leaving the skin feeling soft and silky smooth. Enables the development of community projects such as schools and village wells, in addition to providing small scale farmers with income to support their families. Community Trade Information The moisturizing olive oil in our products comes from an area in Italy that has produced olives since the middle ages. The Nuovo Cilento Co-operative formed as a result of people abandoning the land to seek work elsewhere. In a remarkable story of success over adversity, the co-operative has gone from strength to strength, cutting out the middle-man to sell their organically produced olive oil directly, maximizing their profit and so preserving their traditional way of life. Every product you buy containing Community Traded olive oil further helps the community and local environment. View More For centuries the women of Ghana have used cocoa butter to moisturize and cool their skin in the African heat. Since 1995, The Body Shop has been buying cocoa beans from the Kuapa Kokoo company in Ghana, a fair trade co-operative with over 30,000 small-scale farmers. The money made by the co-operative enables the development of community projects such as schools and village wells in addition to providing the farmers with income to support their families.
