Tanning...hm?

I know everyone tans nowadays, but I wish you people would rethink it. My friend got diagnosoed with skin cancer, and it's probably the most terrible thing I've ever heard. I feel so bad, there's nothing i can do. She went tanning only about twice a week in the tanning salon, BUT this still happened. Really guys, not a good idea. I don't think you want to see your friends get skin cancer like my friend. I've never seen her more vulnerable than she is now.

I agree.

When you tan you can burn from the burning rays from sunlight or even the artificial light that is in tanning salons.





After you finish burning and your skin starts to darken. That is your skin warning you that you have damaged it.





People think they look healthier with tanned skin, when in fact they are ruining your skin. You may not be able to see the dammage you have caused while young...early 20s let's say, unless you get under a special lamp called a woods lamp.





However, when you are 40 or older you will see all these ugly sun spots showing up around your face.





Tanning also causes severe wrinkling. There is NOTHING worse than a 50 or 60 year old woman walking into my salon/spa with paper thin skin and all sorts of sun damage from many years before. It looks absolutely awful.





Had she taken care of herself in the early years she would look 20 years younger.





Skin cancer is also the most easily to prevent of all cancers. USE YOUR SUNBLOCK. Several times a day. Even if you are sitting next to a window and it is a cloudy day, put a sunblock on with at least 15 spf. A lot of cosmetics have the sunblock already in them.





Really girls, for your own sake, stop tanning. You can say you don't care what you look like later down the road, but I can promise you, you will!
