tanning and acne…
I hate to sound like a mother here, because I am
17, but tanning really is not good for you. It may
seem like it at the time, but overall, the effects (in
my opinion, at least) do not outweigh the benefits.
YES, the sun dries out your pimples, and YES, you look
better. But sun and tanning cause premature aging of the
skin and skin cancer. As a 17-year-old with a
pre-cancerous mole that was removed a couple of months ago, I
urge you to really rethink this decision. I hate to
sound like I am bitchy, but I truly believe that
wearing sunscreen in the summer and not tanning is the
way to go. I don’t walk around in full body coverings
during the summer, of course not, but you can bet this
summer I will be buying a lot more sunscreen. I will
miss tanning and the sun, and tan in a bottle is too
complex for me, but my life is worth more than a tan.
Have a great week everybody,<br> Karyn
