HAS ANYBODY ELSE HEARD THAT THE GOVERMENT ARE TRYING TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SESSIONS ONE PERSON HAS ON A SUNBED PER YEAR ? IT USED TO BE ADVISED NOT TO DO ANYMORE THAN 60PER YEAR , BUT KNOW THEY ARE AIMING FOR 20PER YEAR ? WHICH WORKS OUT ROUGHLY ONCE A FORTNIGHT

WHAT DOES EVERY1 ELSE THINK ABOUT THIS ?

ALSO MY COMPANY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT ANY1 WITH SKIN TYPE ONE IS NOT ALLOWED TO USE BED'S AT ALL , WHICH IS SURLEY DISCRIMINATION ?

Really??? ive not heared this, i think its pants we can only breath when they tell us now !!!!! i mean yer its damaging but surley we can make our own minds up xxx

no it isn't discrimination, it is trying to protect them - sunbeds can be deadly if misuused

with new tanning technology once a month or so is sufficient

i am all for giving out the correct information on tanning and looking after your skin re: tanning but i think they are taking it too far , i am a smoker and that is like saying i can only buy x amount of packs of ciggaretes per year cause the are damaging ! or that a skin type 1 person going into thomson and saying that the only way they would be allowed to go abroad was if they had to wear suncream (common sense anyway )

When I was 16 I read an NHS advice leaflet saying the recommended safe limit for sunbeds was 20 sessions per year...

...I am now 28!!!

This is old news.

Sunbeds are now much much stronger, so I would think this info is well out of date?

i have just been imformed that it was 20per year ? as my work was running on 60per year , i agree with the goverment cracking down on un-manned shops (my company specialise in this in some parts of britain) and being tighter with staff trainning , but apparently the goverment are still arguing what times these sessions are to be set at , eg: one customer goes 20 times a year at 15mins each time and another persons goes 2o sessions per year at 5 mins.
