Sunbeds, toning beds and eczema

Former Member

hey!!
Does anybody on here with eczema have experience of using sunbeds??? in about a month im going to start using them, just for 3 minutes, every week so i can get a base tan for my holiday. (ive never been abroad b4 and have fair skin, so dont want to burn.) I understand the cancer risks, etc, but what i want to know is could it affect my eczema?? i asked the woman who runs the place+her son came and talked to me. he said its greatly helped his eczema, as has going abroad. I just wana make sure though!

Also, how many of you have used toning beds?? my aunty used them a while back+said they really helped. i want to get to 10stone for my holiday in sep, so ive been eating more healthily+doing more exercises. 2 months ago i weighed 11 stone 4lb, and now im 10stone 10lb. im really happy with how its going, and i feel alot healthily and full of energy!!! So, do the toning beds work?? can you actually notice the difference??

Thanking you all

Toning what nows? what do they do then?

I've not used sunbeds but I was told that a couple of sessions would help with my eczema. I've always found that the sun helps clear it up very well so your holiday in itself might do some good

With most skin problems sun helps (except from skin cancer that is).

Sunbeds definitely help with eczema...you still need to moisturise loads when you're finished though
