How much of sun tanning is good for the skin?
It seems that many people don’t understand how the sun can affect their skin. I listened to one woman say she goes to the tanning bed to get a base tan then goes to Mexico to get her real tan. This woman’s father died of melanoma. My sister died of melanoma too, but I become scared of even the most normal freckle appearing 🙂
Tanning is burning your skin and contributes to cancer. If you don’t want wrinkles, do not expose yourself to sun, it is that easy. You should always wear sunscreen. Not to be macabre, but the awful cases where someone is kidnapped as a child and held somewhere for many years, and then they’re rescued as adults, show the impact of sun on the skin. They have noticiable baby skin because they weren’t exposed to sunlight. You know those people you see who look like the have tanned leather for skin, it’s got tons of pigmentation and it almost looks like it’s cracking as they move, that’s the result of too much sun over many years. So each time you’re in the sun and aren’t using sunscreen, it’s building up layers of that damage.
