Is it true that tanning can positively influence your mental health?

Mental Health
daphnerst asked:


I know that tanning is famous for its bad effects, but I’ve heard that it can also have positive effects on mental health. I used to always feel happier after going tanning for a little while, possibly because it feels like bathing in the sun. Has anyone else felt this way or read about the mental health effects of tanning?

    Yes it helps with depression.. You only need a few minutes a couple of times a week.. I have been doing it for 20 years and I don’t even have wrinkles yet;-)

    The “light box” is made from the same UVB lights as a tanning bed.

    If you have Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD)your doctor would most likely reccommend special lamps however tanning would also make you feels better. But tanning is not healthy.
