SunSmart, the Cancer Council Victoria and the Better Health Channel have released a brochure about the dangers of solarium tanning. It gives some statistics on skin cancer, a couple of women talk about their experiences with solariums and cancer and some new regulations that have been introduced in Victoria for solarium operators.

The sun emits UVA,UVB and UVC radiation. The ozone layer blocks all UVC radiation however, what happens to UVA & UVB?. Well UVA penetrates deep into the skin causing damage like wrinkles and discolouration. Exposure to UVB causes sunburn and whether it is mild or severe sunburn can cause permanent damage.

Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world, it accounts for around 80% of all new cancers diagnosed each year in Australia. More than 1600 Australians die from skin cancer each year and 1 in 2 people will get a form of skin cancer in their lifetime. Even if we are one of the lucky ones the one thing we can all be 100% sure of is that over time with too much sun exposure our skin looses its elasticity. We start to look a little leathery and age a lot faster than we should. With these kind of statistics its no wonder people are starting to think twice before lying in the sun all day to achieve that very desired golden summer tan.
