A member asked:
Is it a bad idea to go in a tanning bed naked? i've been debating whether or not to, but i can't decide. i'd at least like to without a bra on?

Tanning Bed: One tanning bed treatment increases the incidence of melanoma by 20%. Frequent exposure to tanning beds before 35 increases the incidence of melanoma 85 times. If you want to protect your skin, you will not go to the tanning bed.
