How do you feel about tanning?

I go back and forth between wanting to have a nice tan and not wanting to have wrinkly skin when I am older. What about you?

How do you feel about tanning?
i am only 23 years old and have already had (2) basil cell carcinomas removed from my face. in my opinion that is all tanning beds are good for. instead of trying to look a certain way why not just have healthy skin? every time you may expose your skin to sunlight or UV rays you should apply a sunscreen of at least 15 SPF.
Reply:tanning is bad unless you want leather for skin.
Reply:I find that I'd rather be pale, and get the occasional summer tan than go to the tanning booth and have skin like leather.
Reply:The sun is bad for your skin,Fake it.
Reply:skin cancer, future bad wrinkles? its probably not worth it really... just do SOME outdoor activities to keep a bit of color, but don't go overboard!
Reply:Fortunately, I have a permanent tan, but I think if you do it wisely you can save your skin and your looks...
Reply:Im the same way. Cancer runs in my family and my mom just got some skin cancer removed from her leg.....So Im on the fence. I like having a nice tan, but I dont want any surgeries in my future!
Reply:I want to be tan but I also enjoy having healthy skin...so I'll stay pale...it works for me.
Reply:Don't have that problem...mine's natrual.
Reply:For me, it's not worth the risk of cancer or the wrinkly skin. I'd rather be pale =)

Reply:tanning is unnecessary. It's easy to get caught up in wanting to look a certain way, but it's too much of a risk to your body. People are beautiful without a tan too.
Reply:its all about vanity, The only time I tan is when I'm outside in the Summer. I don't go out of my way to do it. Its a waste of money and it brings cancer. I like being pale instead of looking like my leather couch.
Reply:I'm the same. I tanned last summer, hadn't tanned for years and years before that. I don't know about going back now, we'll see what happens. :P
Reply:ouch I'm burning. I don't tan
Reply:i am naturally tan and when i go to the beach my nose looks like charcoal!


stick with a natural tan....like at the beach, but make sure u use sunblock....i dont kno abt how good teh creams are
Reply:well i wld lyk 2 say slight tanning luks gud but excessive goes bad
Reply:i would still tan cause i don't get that dark. you only live once so i would like to have a nice tan when i die.
Reply:Tanning causes wrinkles, leatherly skin, cancer %26amp; hyperpigmentation. It's expensive %26amp; wears off quickly, but the effects can be deadly. Not worth it. Use artificial tanning sprays.
Reply:I like to have a tan. I have a lot of melanin content in my skin and I do not burn. I use sunscreen and I try not to turn into a raisin but, I do like having a little color.
Reply:lol lol I think it is funny. I've had a beautiful tan since the day I was born. My tan is a lovely pecan tan. lol lol lol
Reply:I don't think it's good. You'll pay for it when you get older. Your skin will look nasty.
Reply:So it might sound bad but I LOVE tanning... and yeah I know that everyone always says leather skin, skin cancer, all that but I dont go excessively I go for a month and then leave it be for a few more months and if I feel like it I'll start going again. Or maybe even just for a week. So it doesn't ever look fake just sun kissed...
Reply:I have a natural tan
Reply:Yeah, I tell people that pale is the new tan. I have seen the long terms affect of tanning and I decided to pass on that look. Plus, subconsciously men like pale women versus tan. A women is suppose to look like a porceline doll, and there is something very feminine to it, keep your paleness. You'll look a million years younger in the long run and all the tanners will look like the grandma in "Something about Mary" HA HA
Reply:Medicinal use only. (It can be good therapy for some skin conditions, but the side effects are too dangerous for cosmetic use.)
Reply:My fate was decided for me. I contracted melanoma 8 years ago. It woke me up...........................I am now living life as a chalky white person. LOL!





Be Careful!! This doesn't happen to everyone, but IT CAN HAPPEN!

Reply:I am NACHO! I have to look good for my fans
Reply:I wouldn't go to a tanning salon because that is a for sure way to have wrinkly skin later. I use self tanner lotions. They work pretty well and double as a moisturizer.
Reply:I also believe,


about not tanning under stupid fake sun,


but grab some friends and go to the pool,


even if its not summer the sun is still outside,


and if its warm enough for people to see your skin it


warm enough to tan!











That's what I do and I'm tan all year round.
Reply:I think tanning can be good for depression. We often get the winter blues because we don't get enough sunlight. Tanning has always made me feel better when it's really cold outside, but I don't tan in the summer because it is too hot and I can get natural sun.
