How old is your daughter? Young girls nowadays want that golden tan from watching music videos of their favorite singers. If you are concerned about your daughter using a tanning bed let her know that there are other alternatives. Artificial tanning products are safe and help you look realistically bronze. I've used artificial tanners and they looked natural.

Hi,
I fully support you in not wanting your daughter to start the "tanning bed" thing.
Have you considered taking her to a Dermotologist? He/She would be able to give her some professional advice, and I am almost certain it would be to stay away from tanning beds.
Maybe coming from a professional would convince her that it's not the healthiest thing to do.
The doctor could also give some good advice on commercial tanning products, and which are safe.
I do wish you the best, and hope everything turns out OK.

I've used tanning beds when I was younger, as I got older I stopped using them and went for artificial tanners and bronzers. I was also concerned about the health risk of tanning beds.
