I am 30 years old (certainly a ways a way from being a teenager), fair-skinned and often pale and sickly looking Anyway, I have never been to a tanning salon etc, but last week I was on vacation and got a tan. I looked so beautiful; everyone said so. Understandably, I don't want to lose that beautiful color that I never knew I could get, so I have been intentionally spending time out in the sun to keep my tan. I do understand, but fail to state with certainty (as some do) that the sun is "bad". Some of the objectors probably smoke!!! Let's think outside the box here: The sun has been around since the beginning. Did ancient people get more skin cancer than we do? They spent time working and playing in the sun, no doubt. Granted, many periods in history featured long sleeves and ankle-length garments, but many cultures did not wear such attire. We think we know so much now don't we? All of sudden we know that the sun is bad after ages and ages of sunshine! Makes no sense. Agree?
