I have to say that I will not be going out to suntan! I have very, very pale skin and burn in around 5 minutes - even with sunscreen. I have already had moles removed from my foolish teen years when I did try to tan. I also now have a spot on my lip that my dermatologist said is from previous sun damage that has just now surfaced! Scary!!

I do believe that "Mother Nature" may have taken care of sun damage with melanin, but there are considerably more damaging rays around now than in the "caveman" days, with all the polution, etc. We are exposed to far, far more UVA and UVB rays now.
