I too used sunbeds on and off from the age of 17 - 28 3 or more times a week. I am now 31 and my skin is absolutely dreadful. I have bad wrinkles, open pores, dry skin plus I can never go out and enjoy being outdoors again but I can't risk doing further damage. This family are so silly. Mym mum always told me I my skin would be ruined by the time I was 30 but I didn't listen and she was right. These girls will be devestated when the wrinkles start to appear. You can use botox for some of them but nothing will stop or get rid of the other wrinkles that they will get.

I think she should atleast know her parents and family although her mother sold her children.

i started using sun beds when i was roughly 18 im now 38 and totally abused them and even had my own but i got very addictive and if i never went on it i would get withdrawal symptoms and think i would go white again quickly ,i was always thinking i want to go browner and never see how brown i really was also i thought my clothes looked much better with a tan and thought i could wear any colour as i had my tan plus i liked to look better than everyone else, i new the risks and new they caused cancer but i was ignorant and thought never would happen to me.when ever i layed under the sunbed i felt guilty as i had 4 kids plus a teenage daughter so thought i was setting a bad example but l aways told her never would i let her on 1,she always had ago at me wen i used it but i took no notice as i was addicted big time ,i started to noticed all the damage to my face over the years as i have the same as Denise van outen ..all the brown patches on my face and they are bad they look like dirty big marks so i have to use lots of foundation to cover them up and in the summer they get worse plus while using sun beds my skin got so dry and flaky. i had my wake up call just after my last child last year when i spotted a brown mole on my leg and though i had skin cancer but hd it checked out and i have to keep an eye on it , i thought to myself what a silly person i am and very vain as sunbeds are not worth ending my life as u only live once all because you want to be brown people are risking there lives.i have paid the price as my face has lots of damage and im 38.my daughter is 18 and guess what..... she is using sunbeds and abusing them .they started to let her go on the shops one at 14 which i went mad when i found out. i now use fake tan and im browner than my sunbed user daughter and im not putting my life at risk no more even though i dont know if damage has been done. there is good fake tans out there you just need to experiment. i want all sunbeds gone ,all sunbed shops shut down there is no need for them .
