Can You Get a Tan When It's Cloudy?

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Harvey Woodyatt, owner of Perfect Tan here in Orem, Utah. We're a full service tanning salon. We have over 20 tanning beds, as well as a state of the art spray-on system, like I'm standing next to here. People often ask me, you know, can I get tan if it's cloudy outside, and the answer is yes. The UV rays can definitely penetrate the sun. Sometimes you get that security feeling that you're going to be okay because it's cloudy outside, and then people don't use sunblock. So you have to got remember, it doesn't matter if it's cloudy, or if it's sunny, always use outside good SPF high sunblock, or sunscreen, and when you're doing anything outside. And when you're tanning indoors, in a tanning salon like ours, you don't have to worry about the weather, because it's always the same temperature in the tanning salon. It's a controlled environment, you're going to be in a secure tanning room, we're going to set the time for no more than 20 minutes, or whatever the bed is recommended at, and you're going to get a nice, even tan without any kind of overexposure. But outside, you just never know what you're going to get, because everybody tends to lose track of the time, or how long they've been out there, and then people get sun burnt, and overexposed."
