Some woman advocating Self Tanners just stated that the only tan that is safe if a self tanner, and went on to say that tanning beds were linked to Skin Cancer!

Another uneducated sun-scared idiot with rickets and a hunch back no doubt.

And looks like a flipping carrot to top it all off!! Her doctors thought she had jaundice for awhile there.

I just sent this email, In case anyone cares to follow suit.

Good Morning,
First of all I would like to say I'm a regular viewer and have found your program to be reliable and enjoyable until this morning.
I own a Tanning Salon and we were elated to finally see some positive press regarding what everyone in my industry already knows and has recently been supported by studies showing how Exposure to UV light may infact help prevent cancers. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory?id=778185
This morning I was outraged to see unsubstantiated statements by some woman presenting herself as an expert in Self Tanners making false statements regarding Tanning Beds and Skin Cancer.
I have referred this to the PTAF
http://www.ptaf.org/
It saddens me to see that an informational program that I respected air false and misleading information!

Nice! Can you give us an email link?

Sherin · 05-23-2005, 10:34 AM

Like the one in my post?

Sherin · 05-23-2005, 11:33 AM

Here's a link for the sunless scoop?

Interestingly, California Tan is one of the ones mentioned.......as the only way to get a safe tan?

It looks like it's just one of the products they tried. It's not Calif. Tan bashing tanning. And, to be fair, the self-tint foam is awesome stuff!

Well, we at least want to be fair. Leave the accuracy to the amateurs. More orange skin in a bottle anyone?
