According to a SmartTan.com poll conducted in late January, 85 percent of salons say they appropriately deliver a balanced message about the risks of overexposure. \u201cWhere the rubber meets the road, professional tanning businesses do a better job teaching overall sun care than those who are preaching one-sided sun avoidance,\u201d Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said. \u201cCosmetic dermatology and chemical sunscreen companies are teaching that all sunlight should be avoided \u2013 which is both alarmist and potentially harmful. In contrast, we aim to teach a balanced message, and it\u2019s clear that professional tanning businesses are getting the job done.\u201d Cosmetic dermatology still fails to acknowledge that a suntan is effective at helping the body prevent sunburn. \u201cIt is so ludicrous that they continue to hold onto this antiquated belief,\u201d Levy said. \u201cIt\u2019s the modern-world equivalent to maintaining that the Earth is flat.\u201d","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/2010-02-02-Balanced-message-copy.jpg"}
