tanning

i love tanning outside but just before the summer starts, i go to the tanning beds for 4 time just to get the tan going so i dont look like a white ghost when i do go out in the summer.

I used to go out in the Sun all the time but not anymore as it gets to hot and like you say the risk of Skin Cancer does scare me

No way do I spend any more time out in the sun than I have to and have never used a tan bed either. A couple of problems here is that there is a high rate of skin cancers here in Australia plus I have lots of freckles which really stand out when I spend too much time in the sun. Wear a hat and sunscreen when I have to go out into the sun. A jingle that is used a lot here in Australia is: Slip, Slop, Slap Slip on a top Slop on sunscreen, and Slap on a hat. :)

I don't sit out in the sun everyday, but when I get the chance I like to relax under the rays. Just enough to get a tan.
