I love getting a tan also but with the health factors that we have to beware of now , it really isn't worth it . The UV rays are so strong and so dangerous for cancer that it is taking a big risks and I know many people use the tanning beds but I believe they will find in time that these are not safe either as there is not much difference between this and putting a chicken in the oven to cook as this is what you are doing in the tanning beds is frying your skin so it will become darker .
I believe that it is a risk you take and it should be up to each individual in what to do .
I know that my husband is also tanned really dark as he is a fisherman and is out when the sun is at it's hottest and can't avoid the sun as this is his job .

A tan really looks great and feels great too, I get tanned every summer and I love it, I think you should go for it if you have a chance to go to the beach or open spaces, tan looks great and healthy but you should make sure to be careful not to over do it, use sunscreen for protection and get tanned gradually.
