Suntanning

It is fun to get a suntan at the beach, pool, or tanning salon and a suntan makes you look healthy and fit, but those rays can cause serious damage to your skin. Premature wrinkles, sunspots, and reduced elasticity are all side effects of prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays. More serious side effects of these rays are skin cancer. Using a sun block can protect your skin without causing you to miss out on the fun. There are several degrees of UV (ultra violet) protection offered in many forms (lotion, oil, stick) available at drug and grocery stores. The fairer your skin, the higher degree of protection (larger number of UV protection) you will need.

Remember, “Fry now, pay later.”
