Perhaps a bit overdone?
Okay, so if skin cancer is not enough of a deterrent for this woman not to tan to this extent, then surely the outcome, of her over-fried skin should have been enough. It’s scary, the lack of concern in this day and age, when so much information is available to all, and just as scary to see what some people deem beautiful.

I saw this lady on the news tonight. Talk about leather skin! She is being blamed for bringing her daughter who is about 6 years old to the tanning booth to tan……..well that is the claim.
-
I didn't hear the age of the woman…..did you hear her age?
-
This woman is 44 years old.

WHAT?! 44 years old? Dang, that makes me feel pretty darn good for my age then. WOW!

I saw this woman on the news today as well. It’s scary how badly damaged her skin is AND the fact that she is oblivious to what she is doing to herself. I live in Hawaii and I don’t go tanning at all; SPF 30+ all the way for me, baby! LOL! I wish I started with the sun protection even earlier so I wouldn’t have the sun damage that I have now although it’s minimal. It’s sad that with all the information out there about the dangers of UV exposure that tanning parlors are still popular.

i stay out of the sun as much as possible. i know this sounds strange for someone living in hawaii. i used to go to the beach alot, but like most people who have lived here a few years, it's not such an attraction anymore. i don't like putting sunblock (or even lotion) on my skin. i wear a sunhat 100% of the time if i am walking in the sun – even if it's just to walk to the end of the driveway, or from my car to my work. that way i don't feel i need to put sunblock on my face. i do use a light mineral makeup powder that has spf 19 (l'oreal bare naturale). https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif
it upsets me that this woman would take a six year old to a tanning booth!

Being a nurse, I’ve seen skin cancer and skin cancer radiation burns that would give anyone nightmares for the rest of their life. Actually nightmare is a great way to describe it, think Freddy Kruger. It’s very sad to watch someone suffer from the pain and disfigurement of skin cancer. This woman clearly has some deeper problems she needs addressed. I sincerely hope she gets the help she needs.

thats horrible… how and why people do that is beyhond me… I live in Algarve, just walking distance from a beach and havent been there in years (except after sunset ahaha). all summer I see turists and locals baking at the sun, even at mid afternoon sun… how can they make that to themselves?? i get it, a litle tan looks good, but to the point of looking like the lady in the pic… thats not tan, thats roasted…! I'm a vampire, have to wear sunblock even in winter, my skin really cant take any more sun… as a child my parents never cared about it…i've had more sun burns that I can count… i'm afraid another one will be one to many…

Ugh, if that claim turns out to be true that is disgusting that she would let her child into a tanning booth. But even if her daughter only got sunburnt from being outside, it still seems a bit negligent that she would let her child go outside and play without sun protection anyway. I could be bias though, I live in Aus and have very pale skin so I take sun burn seriously 😛

It’s completely uncalled for for her to try to tan her child. On the other hand though, what she deems as beautiful, is completely up to her. Everyone sees the world differently and if jeopardizing her health is what it takes to make her comfortable in her own (fried albeit) skin, so be it.

We don't know for sure if her daughter stepped foot into the tanning bed. I know for a fact that tanning booths (which this woman used) have a room where you disrobe and then the actual closed booth. Typically there is a chair in the room. I have a really hard time believing that the tanning salon did not know that the child went back with her to the room. Furthermore this is all conjecture from a teacher overhearing a conversation where the little girl said she went to the tanning salon with her mom, NOT that she went tanning.
For those that are saying she is irresponsible for letting her child outside without tanning lotion…do you have kids? Unless you do you really have no say in the matter….sorry to be so blunt but the reality is that kids go outside to play and you are not going to cover them each and every time. I can't tell you how many times our oldest has gotten burned over the years even with lotion on. It happens.
In looking at some of the photos of this lady and video I wonder if some digital play is going on. Anyone who is a photographer knows how easy it is to play with the settings.

This is a more realistic photo of her. Notice the same clothing hoever her hair is much more bleached and her skin much darker in the first picture that was posted of her. In this picture she is not much different tan wise than Snooki or many of the Jersey freaks. The orangeness to her skin tells me she is probably also using melanotan.
