While the Indoor Tanning Association warns consumers to avoid burning, "I am not satisfied with the message that burning is bad, but tanning is good," says Kevin Cooper, professor and chair of the department of dermatology at Case Western Reserve University. "There's no way you can get a tan without damaging the skin, That's what the tan is." Cooper says the message should be "that whatever color you are is OK, that's it's not necessary for you to be dark in order to be accepted."

Buyer beware: Often the natural nail is filed-down to accommodate for the added bulk of the acrylic nail. When the acrylic nail is removed, the nail underneath is weakened, and will need to completely grow out to become healthy again.
