i think thats been well known, i heard people with severe eczema/psoriasis and use it to alleviate symptoms.
This is true. I was only able to beat a psoriasis episode by frying in tanning bed. I also go during winter for vit D and related seasonal depression.
Do people actually use them? I just assumed tanning saloons are exclusively used for money laundering and/or prostitution.
