Leading model agencies participating at the London Fashion Week have revealed that they are banning their models from using sunbeds

The campaign was launched following findings of a study which revealed that a first time use of a sunbed prior to 35 years increased the risk of a deadly form of skin cancer by 75 percent
Stating that all of the agencies were concerned about the wellbeing of their models, Sarah Doukas, Managing Director of Storm Model Management, told the Daily Mail, “Supporting this campaign makes perfect sense as the wellbeing of our models is of paramount importance and we take a serious approach to their health. We do not advocate the use of sunbeds for any of our models, and recommend that they choose safer options if they require a tan, spray tans are easy to apply and can last a week.”
