A few years back, people who come from lengthy vacations, particularly from the tropics sport a dark tan and are the envy of those who can never afford to shell out a few hundred bucks for a vacation. Nowadays, due to the harmful effects of the UV rays, everybody needs a tan to protect the skin from medical conditions that may arise due to too much exposure from the sun’s rays. The most recommended method of protection is found in the Palm Beach Tan or a controlled system usually performed in tanning salons.

Medical practitioners are one in saying that those sporting the Palm Beach Tan are less likely to get sunburned from the excessive UV rays of the sun. This condition is ideal because clinical research revealed that skin cancer and other skin lesions are related to over exposure to the sun’s rays. After all a Palm Beach Tan is no longer a question of vanity but rather a medical necessity.

Pertinent statistics reveal that individuals who indulge themselves at Palm Beach Tan salons number to about 30 million North Americans - 65% to 70%, many of which are women. Controlled skin tanning performed in salons employ UV tanning or the UV free - sunless tanning technology.
