And that\u2019s true no matter what age you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anti-sun naysayers have called tans \u201cdamage\u201d to the skin. \u201cCalling a tan \u2018damage\u2019 is akin to saying that exercise damages muscles, and therefore exercise is harmful,\u201d Levy said. \u201cOn the micro-level, exercise does damage muscles. But examined properly, that\u2019s what the body is designed to do. Calling it damage is misleading and inaccurate. Similarly, a tan means the body is producing melanin, which is a powerful anti-oxidant and which is the body\u2019s natural and intended cell-by-cell defense against sunburn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every study done on this topic has shown that people who tan in salons are less likely to sunburn when they do go outdoors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-7730\" href=\"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/index.php\/non-tanning-teens-burn-more-poll\/2012-01-13-teen-tanning-pol\/\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7730\" title=\"2012-01-13-Teen-Tanning-Pol\" src=\"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/2012-01-13-Teen-Tanning-Pol.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"383\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nine out of 10 salon owners say teenagers who have access to and use professional tanning salons are less likely to sunburn when they do go outdoors or go on sunny vacations, according to the SmartTan.com poll.
