To Tan, or Not to Tan

Posted by in Personal Improvement

Tanning is a somewhat controversial issue.  On one end of the spectrum you have dermatologists that think that tanning is like putting a gun to your head or some other death wish.  On the other end, there are those who just cannot be tan enough, we call them tanorexics.

Of course balance is always the key.  The truth is both ends are right in some ways and you must decide what is right for you.

For instance, there is evidence that UV rays cause skin cancer. However, that is not the end of the story.  There are many other factors involved (such as genetics and type of UV rays).

So, there are things you can do to try and prevent cancer while still living on the wild side out in the sun!  However, having  home tanning beds may be a little extreme.
