Unless you've been living under a rock recently you know about the New Jersey mother accused of taking her then 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth last month where the kindergartener allegedly sustained serious burns.
By now the world has heard about the New Jersey mother accused of taking her then 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth last month where the kindergartener allegedly sustained serious burns. Health advocates and others are now pushing for action on a bill in the New Jersey legislature that would make it illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to use an indoor tanning facility.
The term 'tanorexia' is already being thrown around to describe the Nutley mother who is severely addicted to tanning. In honor of that, Deminski & Doyle want to know what you're hooked on. Cigarettes? Facebook?
If you're planning to hit the tanning salon for a little bronzing before an upcoming event, you may want to think again. There's been a dramatic rise in skin cancer among women under the age of 40. Melanoma cases increased eightfold in women between 1970 and 2009 and fourfold in men. That's according to research from the Mayo Clinic.
