Researchers have found that sunless tanning, popular with tweens and teens, could impact the sun-baking habits of women in general.

Two studies appear in the September edition of the journal Archives of Dermatology highlighting sunless tanning motivations and their health impact, noting one in ten American girls aged 11-18 is a spray-tan queen.

The authors independently concluded that "adolescents must be educated about ...the importance of avoiding indoor tanning and practicing sun-protective behaviors" and "encouraging sunbathers to switch to sunless tanning could have an important health impact."
