Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Yes, I was referring to the tanning booth. I hate to use them because of the cancer risk and on the vain end of things, I do not want to look old before my time (I have some very leather-like friends.) Anyone with any info on use of sunscreen and length of exposure would be most helpful. Thanks, Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. The article was for the general population and talking about the decrease of vit. D people are getting because of the use of sunscreens and how that leads to a decrease of calcium absorption therefore the whole Osteo bone thing.....sooooo with the use of sunscreen you need a longer exposure to either sun or tanning booth time......sorta a catch 22.
