Tanning beds increase your risk of melanoma by 3 times compared to non-users, with mutations appearing even on non-exposed skin. Dermatologists from Northwestern Medicine and the University of California reveal the shocking truth behind indoor tanning. Learn how to safeguard your skin and family.
So, one of the important lessons I've learnt from my research into natural vegetable tanning is to make sure you don't just forget about it. You want to agitate often, refresh the liquor often, and definitely not just leave it for eight months while you do other things.
Having said that, as baby's first #tanning project, where I kinda forgot about it half way through and left everything for eight months, the results are not as terrible as I thought.
One square didn't tan properly (on the left) and started to decay. The rest… well, they're not even, but they feel much tougher than they were before, they don't smell bad, and I couldn't find any sign of decay, so I'm going to call this a qualified success.
In case you're wondering, I'm tanning rawhide dog treats, and using a mix of ornamental pear and wattle bark for my tannins.
