Understanding ozone depletion
The very thin layer of ozone that surrounds the Earth serves as a constant filter against UV rays. Sadly, the use of chlorofluorocarbons has influenced the depletion of the ozone layer to the point where we are now exposed to increased amounts of shorter wavelengths of UV light.
One of these shorter wavelengths is the very dangerous UVC. UVC rays cause extreme damage to your skin, and are the main reason why scientists are worried about the ozone layer's depletion. As the ozone layer becomes thinner and thinner, its ability to filter out UVC light is decreasing. Rest assured that when you tan at Fabutan, the beds do not emit any harmful UVC rays.
Protect yourself outdoors
Even though indoor tanning can help gradually build pigmentation – your body's natural defense against exposure to UV rays – the depletion of the ozone layer means there are now more chances to overexpose and damage your skin. To protect yourself properly, sunscreen is absolutely essential when you head outdoors.
