Facial Morphing Program May Deter Young Adults From Tanning
 

FRIDAY, June 1, 2018 -- A facial morphing intervention may reduce skin cancer risk behaviors among young adults, according to a study published in the June issue of Body Image.

Aaron J. Blashill, Ph.D., from San Diego State University, and colleagues examined the efficacy of an appearance-based facial morphing program for reducing intentional ultraviolet exposure among individuals at risk for skin cancer. Two hundred nineteen young adults with a history of recent intentional tanning and future intentions to tan were randomized in a three-arm trial. Facial morphing + health information was compared with mindfulness + health information and health information only (control).

That's cute.  Scientists believe that people who cover the exterior of their bodies with ugly tats of dragons, skulls and snakes are going to be moved by simulations of what they'll look like in 50-60 years of tanning.
