Indoor tanners do not get nearly as much UV exposure as critics of the sunbed industry have alleged. That’s the foundation of a live Smart Tan webinar that Smart Tan’s Joseph Levy will lead Wednesday, Jan. 23 at 1 pm EST.

Critics of indoor tanning frequently say that a tanning salon visit gives you as much UV as “an entire day at the beach” or that one single tanning session increases your risk of skin cancer by 25 percent. Both of those statements are completely false. Smart Tan’s Joseph Levy looks at why they’re wrong and answers questions about how much UV exposure a sunbed user really gets compared to being outdoors. The answers will surprise you.

To purchase access to the webinar call your Smart Tan member services representative at 800-652-3269, or click here.

Levy will lead a second live webinar — “Phototherapy v Indoor Tanning: The Real Truth About UV” — on Feb. 7 at 1 pm EST. To register for both webinars and receive a discounted rate, click here.
