No. It's terrible on your skin and there are options such as tinted lotions that are cheaper and healthier.

I agree its bad if you overly use them.
Well I don't agree with that. Whether or not you 'overuse' them (which is laughable anyway because 10 minutes under there is entirely different from 10 minutes of sun exposure) they do increase your risk and incidence of skin cancer, compared to those that don't use them at all. They are not healthy no matter how regular you are. I would argue that 2-3 times a week is dangerous.
But 10 minutes under a sunbed is not equivalent to 10 minutes in unexposed sunlight, it'd be closer to spending a whole day in strong sunlight without sun tan lotion, which is something that I frequently do when I'm in Australia. Pretty much all sunscreens include known carcinogens or potentially damaging chemicals, and I hate putting that shit on my skin. I have olive skin and tan slowly, and olive skin is at less risk from skin cancer anyway. I do think sunbeds are more harmful than long term sun exposure though.
What sun screens are carcinogenic? To my knowledge all claims like that are generally bollocks carried by papers like the Daily Mail. 10 minutes under the sun bed may be like one day in the sun, and that's the entire point (which I acknowledged in my post). Spreading the same radiation over the entire day allows your body to copy better than stronger and shorter bursts of radiation such as in a tanning bed. The fact that it may or may not be the same amount of radiation doesn't make it okay, they are vastly different.

I know, I just hate the hysteria over sun exposure, and I guess it carried over. Most sunscreens contain one or more of the following: diethanolamine, triethanolamine (DEA, TEA), padimate-o, octyl dimethyl PABA, benzophenone, oxybenzone, homosalate, octyl-methoxycinnamate (octinoxate) or zinc oxide nano-particles. None of which I want on my skin. I know the research surrounding these is inconclusive, but I just don't want it on my skin, if I have a choice.

topical applications of those chemicals is different from their ingestion, not to mention that there is no clinical evidence that implicates them, to my knowledge, in being teratogenic or carcinogenic. some may cause things like mild skin irritation but that's not really the same as being carcinogenic. all that is laughable however to the carcinogenic properties of UV light which are well characterised, whether from the sun or elsewhere. incidences of skin cancer have been on the rise, and it is well known that those that participate in tanning whether natural or not are far more likely to contract skin cancers such as melanoma and basal cell carcinoma than those that live in more temperate climates or expose themselves to less dangerous sun. fact is there is far more evidence that implicates tanning in cancer than sun tan lotions. sun tan lotions work to reduce the dangerous UV exposure from the sun and I'd rather that to be honest than harm my skin and potentially get cancer.
but I just don't want it on my skin, if I have a choice.
it's your choice, i don't think anyone's saying people should be forced to apply sun tan lotion. but i can't honestly recommend or agree with the principle of putting people under dangerous radiation for aesthetic purposes. natural sun is dangerous as well, but at least people tend to use sunscreen on a hot day.
