Abbie Rumbach: The Confession That Blew My Daughter's Mind
If you look younger than 30, happy hour and a pack of Marlboro Lights won't be the only reason to whip out that ID. State legislatures in Texas and Florida are pushing for new laws requiring teens under the age of 18 to bring a doctor's note to their local salons before stepping into the tanning bed. Lawmakers view the new bills as ways to prevent teens from developing skin cancer, especially melanoma. Parents and teens alike are peeved by the new guidelines because they feel this is a decision that shouldn't be controlled by the government. If the legislation passes, does this mean that kids won't be allowed on the soccer field or out on the beach without a signed permission slip?
And WORSE, will students be forced to attend prom in backless dresses that expose pasty winter skin?!

whats wrong with pale skin? that kind of thinking is what making young teen girls and boys step into the tanning salon and ruin their skin. fake tanning leads to many health problems that some teens are to young and nieve to know about or even care.

I agree.
We are not all supposed to be the same, fake-looking orangey tan. We are supposed to be different shades. And we're all beautiful.
Fake tanning is so superficial, and not pretty!

What I don't understand is that in this day and age, sunbathing is a no no but going to a tanning salon is "OK". Both cause premature aging of the skin and skin cancer.
There are 3 girls in my family. I'm the oldest. My two sisters were both "sun worshipers" in their teens and have always been heavy make-up wearers. For the most part, I don't wear make-up and have never been a sun bather. Guess who looks the youngest now that we're in our late 40's/ mid 30's?
If I would bother to dye my hair, I would look like I'm in my early 30s. (I've tried it)
Sooo.... ladies, (and gents) stay out of the sun, wear a hat while you're in the sun and keep the make-up to a minimum. It'll pay off in the long run!
