Is it really the case that tanning can positively influence your mental health?

No: Light exposure can improve what is called seasonal affective disorder, which is a type of depression. But that's light, not tanning. Most experts now agree that tanning is not good for anybody. It may increase your risk of skin cancers.

Yes: Tanning , if that means sun , than it should increase vit d and make a positive impact . Tanning if it is to boost looks and feel better than perhaps just temp like a hair do.
