I've never used one and never will. I've already had a malignant mole removed years ago on my back that had never seen sunlight so I definitely wouldn't chance them. But I know the beauty salon I normally go to has one and plenty of people use it. |

Lots of pics of people in them regularly on here, mostly UK, so they're definitely still in use.
Actually JustBo, curious as I have a mole where sun doesn't shine but has become a tad itchy past few days.
What prompted you to get yours looked at?
I had Doc look at it few years ago but apparently not a worry. Hasn't changed shape or colour. On belt area so can get agitated, I guess, with an expanding lockdown waist   |

I used them regularly years ago and in all fairness I did feel better having a tan
But as I've got older I more conscious of my skin ageing and care more about the fact they cause skin cancer
But when you use a sunbed you start becoming addicted to them
Now days I get a spray tan if I'm on a night out a decent salon will give a really natural spray tan |

"I'm sure there are people using them but it's not the safest way to get a tan nothing wrong with the old fashion way soaking up the sun plus its completely free  "
There's no such thing as a safe tan (except from a bottle) , it's skin damage. Particularly dangerous for Celtic skins, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in Ireland. |

Completely agree Nobody ever believes me when I say that a tan is actually damaged skin  All you have to do is look at older people who love the sun - their skin is like leather  Fake tan all the way...... Mrs. |

Nor me, tbh I think it looks silly on people who are clearly naturally very fair.
But sure, each to their own. I'll just wait for "pale and interesting" to come back in fashion |

As to legislation, so far as I know, use by under 18s is prohibited, beyond that, we're all adults, free to smoke, drink, eat shite and do a million other things that are proven to be detrimental to our health. It's free choice. |

Mine had darkened in colour and had raised edge on it so I got it looked at luckily. It had spread outwards luckily and not in so had to go back a couple of weeks after and get a bigger section of my skin taken off. The fact that it is itchy tho is a sign as well get it looked at as soon as you can x |

Guilty as charged... I burn so bad in the sun and never get a colour... so yes I do use sunbeds when I get the chance..
You have people smoking drinking that's not good either...
I know the risks, but for me it's more then just darker skin |

I've used beds before going in holiday to help prevent skin damage/burns.
UV rays are necessary to build up menalin to protect your skin.
If you go 50 weeks of a year with no sunlight, then suddenly spend 2 weeks walking round shirtless getting blasted with high intensity rays, your skin is completely unprotected should you sweat, or swim and SPF washes off.
Before sun holidays, I think it's far safer to proactively expose yourself to UV rays a couple of times in a controlled environment, for like 5 minute intervals. Then when you are out in the sun all day, you're way less likely to get burned and damaged. |

I'm not sure what that idiot does
I swear he gets those tanning injections, now they do send you orange
And with all his money you would think he could sort something better than a comb over  |

Some people suit naturally beautiful pale skin
I just happen to be dark eyed and dark hair, so suit a little colour |

Well I did say it wasn't the safest way sure even the stuff in the bottle may not be safe if someone is allergic to the ingredients and yeah sitting out on a deck chair soaking up the sun rays isn't safe either |

"Do people use these much anymore? I thought they were a thing of the past but I’ve seen them feature in a few pix, got me wondering how popular are they?"
I stopped them along time ago after all of the negativity about them. I can't remember the year but it was all over the news at the time saying they are cancerous. It was enough to stop me even though I know the real rays of the sun can also be cancerous. |

Yep which is the reason why I wouldn't recommend using these that's why I go with the natural way |
