All women in south countries (Thailand, Taiwan, India, Panama etc.) use umbrellas to keep their skin the most white as possible. Women from Scandinavia or Canada try the opposite way: how to look more exotic, wealthier, and darken their skin. Everybody wants to look as close to the average as possible.
For those of you who live far from the sunny beaches there’s a simple option: tanning beds. In this short article we describe shortly Wolff tanning beds. Wollf tanning is not a name of the company, just a common name for contemporary tanning beds. Friedrich Wollf was a German who invented it about 25 years ago.
For instance on the Wolff tanning beds website featured products range prices vary from $10,000 to $20,000. Those are the first class Wolff tanning beds: Rejuvasun $16,000, Epic $10,300, Ultimate Envy $10,000, and Legend $17,000. If you were looking for something cheaper then home tanning beds are accessible for as much as $2,000.
On the website mentioned above shipping is offered to these countries: the US, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada. They offer the financing also. If you are located in Europe you’ll find a lot of suppliers in almost every country on the wolffsystem website.
Now let’s focus on the main question: what about the cancer risk? Of course if you are very naïve you can read the promotional material delivered by manufacturers and suppliers. They do everything they can to sell more. However if we read the basic information about the risk of the cancer in Wikipedia we can be quite astonished:
“Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation is known to cause skin cancer, make skin age and wrinkle faster, mutate DNA, and reduce the immune system. Frequent tanning bed use triples the risk of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.”
“There is scientific evidence that each of the three main types of skin cancer is caused by UV exposure. Women who visited a tanning parlor at least once a month were 55% more likely to later develop melanoma than women who didn’t artificially suntan. Young women who used sun lamps for tanning while in their 20s had the largest increase in subsequent cancer risk – about 150% higher than similar women who did not use tanning beds.”
A 2009 Associated Press article stated, “International cancer experts have moved tanning beds and other sources of ultraviolet radiation into the top cancer risk category, deeming them as deadly as arsenic and mustard gas.”
Arsenic and mustard gas? Poetic comparison, isn’t it? What’s more another study has shown that awareness of the risks of tanning beds did not deter the students from using them. Are we completely stupid or only 50% of us?
I had an idea to write also about used tanning beds, commercial tanning beds, tanning beds for sale, tanning lamps, and tanning bulbs (and give you some reasonable information about all of it) but after seeing some pictures of cancer I’ve change my mind and my advice is: act as Thai women do – use umbrella against the sun radiation instead of spending money destroying your skin. The nature made it white for some reason. Period.
As to the practice of trading tanning beds and other cousin accessories I believe it should be done in the same way as selling tobacco is (at least in Europe): big letters on the every bed shouting: CANCER. Interestingly we live in the society influenced so much by thinking objects are good, trade is good, nature is bad that you can buy a really harmful tanning bed on hundred of websites but you can’t buy not harmful marijuana anywhere.
My last hope about making some money as affiliate of the tanning industry was connected with indoor tanning lotions. However after reviewing some sites selling this kind of products I’ve understand that it’s the same kind of shit. Read it carefully: “With indoor tanning lotion, your skin gains the ultimate exposure to the sun’s rays.” And similar products on the other website: “Healthy skin is the foundation of a successful tan, and an indoor tanning lotion allows you go get that tan without the harmful drying effects of the sun.” So they basically say that these lotions provoke more exposure to the sun and that this is healthy. Cheap marketing shit.
However the nature is wiser, I believe. Most of the people from this industry have to use these products from time to time. If you’re a crack dealer you sniffing from time to time, aren’t you? So, this group of people is more exposed to the risk of the cancer thanks to their own stupidity simply. Their genes have fewer chances to survive.
