During summer days, most of us go to the beach to relax mostly. What do we get after that? SUNBURN. Most white people do tanning to have that beautiful tan in their skin. Yes, it really look good and attractive. But are you really aware of the consequences of your action? Tanning can cause skin cancer. Dermatologist around the globe acknowledged this fact that tanning can also cause skin cancer.
Are you willing to take the risk to have that nice, attractive tan on your skin?

White person is more prone to skin cancer because they lack melanin on their skin. avoid too much exposure to UV or apply sunblock. consult your doctor immediately for your skin cancer.

Thats why you wear sunblock! You tan and you dont get harmed as much from the suns rays. Or you just get a fake tan

I will never get skin cancer. I do tan, but I tan gradually. I hardly ever burn.
I have heard that skin blocks block vitamin D and the food we eat is now deficient in skin cancer protectors. See this article http://www.mercola.com/2003/jul/2/sunblock_cancer.htm We also have to eat more Omega 3s,like more fish, and walnuts, etc. I think there is a method in the madness of warning us white folks against sun tan to make us move to areas where we cannot get a tan because it is too cool in summer and too cold in winter. So should we white people all move to Siberia or Alaska or the Yukon where it hardly gets warm enough to tan so all the other types of people move to the nice moderate and warmer climate area?

I would love to have a tan right now, but I cant bc Im pregnant. If I could I would risk it, just like most females and alot of guys too.

Being pregnant doesn't mean you should stay out of the sun, in fact it's the opposite. Swimming is great excercise during pregnancy, and you need to increase your Vitamin D intake - and you get that from the sun.

Asleigh1985... it is not only the color of your skin that makes you a beautiful and attractive woman but what is inside you your heart. Good luck to your pregnancy. It kindah hard but an amazing experience. I've assisted in the delivery when I was a nursing student. Just finished nursing last March07
