Response to Karen Owen's blog on sunbeds, dated 17 April, 2009

Karen, referring to your article on tanning, I am surprised that anyone still puts their health at risk to become a different colour than the one they were born with. Research has shown that skin cancer is usually a result of exposing our bodies to the sun too much. I really don’t understand the concept that a tan makes people feel good, and I find it downright uncomfortable sitting in hot sun. Give me a gentle breeze anytime. We could all learn a thing or two from Joan Collins, the film star, who has never been out in the sun without a large protective sun hat. Even in her seventies, she has a skin to be proud of. Unbelievably, we heard last week that a ten-year old girl ended up in hospital with burns, after spending her pocket-money on a tanning machine in an unsupervised tanning salon. When is this craziness going to stop?
