How do the dangers of suntanning and lamp tanning compare?

There are risks to suntanning and lamp tanning; you have to take precautions for both.

If someone is tanning properly in any situation, whether or not they are wearing SPF lotion, there are going to be arguments for either one. I personally, I stay away from the sun, because I get over exposed when I am outside. That might be because I am not wearing the proper SPF; I don't want it sit outside all day and sweat in the sun though.

So, I don't choose to do that. It doesn't mean that I don't tan outdoors, but when I do that, I do it wisely and I don't tan too long. I make sure I always put on my lotion when I am tanning, and then I also make sure I take care of my skin. Moisturize properly and cleanse with a PH balance shower gel. I can't really tell what are the pros and cons between each one. Obviously, over exposing is the one thing that you want to try to stay away from in either situation.
