Could stronger sunbed regulation be on the horizon?⁠

Following the UV Safety Report by the Beauty, Hair and Wellbeing APPG, the Government has opened a consultation on proposed changes to sunbed regulation in England, with a focus on reducing preventable skin cancer deaths.⁠

Measures under review include mandatory ID checks, supervised use, clearer health warnings, protective eyewear and tighter restrictions around misleading health claims.⁠
