Re: sunbeds and sun exposure

I'm afraid it does. The risk of developing skin cancer increases with your cumulative UV exposure - whether from the sun or sunbeds - throughout life. Also we believe that a given UV exposure in early life carries with it a higher risk of skin cancer than the same UV exposure in later life.
