What can excessive tanning lead to over time?

Excessive tanning leads to accumulated skin damage over time due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can have various harmful effects on the skin. This damage can manifest in several ways, including premature aging, the development of fine lines and wrinkles, and more serious conditions such as skin cancer. UV rays penetrate the skin and can cause cellular damage, affecting the skin’s ability to repair itself and maintain its natural barrier function.

Additionally, accumulated skin damage may result in changes to skin texture, increased pigmentation or uneven skin tone, and potentially result in other dermatological issues. Understanding the consequences of excessive tanning is crucial for promoting safe tanning practices and ensuring clients are informed about the risks associated with UV exposure.
