The Government needs to urgently restrict a loophole that allows commercial tanning salons to advertise their services amid an “epidemic” of skin cancer, a dermatologist has warned.
Currently, the law bans tanning salons from advertising sunbeds because of the link between sun beds and skin cancer; children are also banned from using them altogether.
However, some tanning salons are now promoting tanning accelerators as a way to advertise their business.
Consultant dermatologist Professor Caitriona Ryan described it as a “very clever way” of getting around the ban, and she spoke to us this morning on The Agenda about
this.
