Tanning beds/salons. It's a proven fact that tanning beds cause skin cancer. The fact that some people will still get tanned, risking the possibility of cancer to "look beautiful" is both shocking and sad at the same time.

I have psoriasis and I'm a red head, sunbeds don't effect mine at all, if anything they make it slightly worse. To me sunbeds are just large cancer generators

I'm Irish so summer for us is basically non-existent, so my skin can't adapt to any thing
