"  By now you&amp;#039;re well aware that the sun can cause skin cancer, so for the past seven years we&amp;#039;ve been warning you to stay out of the sun whenever possible\u2014and to be sure to always apply your SPF. But, we just heard some news that we had to pass along: it turns out that spray tans (the ones you get from a person\u2014or a booth\u2014that bronzes you with a DHA spray\u2014aka the chemical that reacts with your skin and causes it to darken) may also cause certain cancers. A recent study conducted by ABC News linked spray tans to cancer, since apparently DHA was never cleared by the FDA as an inhalant\u2014it was only approved for topical use. Dr. Rey Panettieri, a toxicologist and lung specialist at the University of Pennsylvania&amp;#039;s Perelman School of Medicine, told ABC News: &amp;quot;The reason I&amp;#039;m concerned is the deposition of the tanning agents into the lungs could really facilitate or aid systemic absorption\u2014that is, getting into the bloodstream. These compounds in some cells could actually promote the development of cancers or malignancies, and if that&amp;#039;s the case, then we need to be wary of them.&amp;quot; So what now? Further studies are being conducted for more conclusive results, but for now, we say get your gorgeous faux-glow from a bottle or tube, not a bronzing booth or spray-tan artist.
