what does everyone think about tanning...my mom doesnt like the idea but im going to a sweet 16 and we have to wear strapless dresses and i dont want to look fairer then everyone else...one time couldnt hurt right?

No.

Going once or twice in your life isn't going to kill you.
I went before my cruise so that I wouldn't burn..

It's those people who go every day who look like shriveled tan prunes.

One time can't effect you drastically, but it still effects you. Especially if you're going to a tanning bed, it's three times as penetrating and damaging. If you really think it's worth it, then go ahead, just don't get addicted to it (I know people who can't live without a tan). There are other options too, like spray on tans. I actually like the look of fair skin. I think it's elegant.

No cancer box for me, thanks very much.

not good to do it a lot but i go like at least two to three times every month

Actually, it only takes one burn to increase your chance of skin cancer dramatically.

No.

A tan isn't a burn, is it?

1. Most people do burn when going to a tanning bed the first times.
2. tanning IS skin damage. It still is increasing your chances of skin cancer!!

ever since I can remember we've been going on cruises and Florida and Mexico and such for winter break and then California fro spring break and I get tanned 2 or 3 times a year if not more and I dont have skin cancer

Not if you do it how you're SUPPOSED to, and start your first few times going only 10-15 minutes, and use lotion.

It's a given that if you're irresponsible about tanning, it will have its consequences.

If you read my other posts as well, you will see that tanning itsself is skin damage. Either way, you are damaging your skin, and setting yourself up for possible cancer, premature aging, and sun spots.

Not worth it in my opinion.

gET A SPRAY TAN MUCH EASIER WITH GOOD EFFECTS
