[00:01.90]In the UK, a country known for its bad weather
[00:06.86]and lack of sunshine,
[00:08.43]there appears to be
[00:09.89]an ever increasing number of very tanned young people.
[00:13.69]So just how are they achieving their golden tans?
[00:18.30]Some are opting for the sun-free option
[00:21.64]and are getting their tan from a bottle.
[00:24.12]However, it appears that others are turning to tanning salons,
[00:29.17]of which there are thousands in the UK.
[00:31.96]While in China young people often prefer to remain fair,
[00:36.81]in the UK there seems to be a growing desire for tanned skin.
[00:41.91]So why do the British prefer to be bronzed?
[00:45.35]Often, they are trying to emulate their favorite celebrities,
[00:49.95]footballers, or footballers' wives.
[00:52.68]Research from the British Sunbed Association suggests that
[00:57.80]many people believe a tan makes them feel and look healthier.
[01:02.50]This is a belief
[01:04.68]that is most definitely not shared by Cancer Research UK.
[01:09.39]They firmly state that being tanned is not a sign of health.
