Tanning Addiction Recovery

No longer considered a new addiction, tanning consists of exposure to ultraviolet light, which increases
the body's production of endorphins.

Research indicates that more than one-fifth of white women age 18-30 years old who tan indoors
exhibit indoor tanning dependence.

Recovery begins with attending a meeting or talking to a counselor/peer support specialist.

What is an alternative to tanning?

Using spray tan and tanning lotions may be a viable alternative.

Endorphins

Endorphins can be obtained through moderate exercise; use caution not to overdo it.
