1/18 Tanning

Many of us yearn for that youthful, exuberant summer glow. But, at what cost? Intentionally not protecting your skin is never a good idea. Prolonged sun exposure, and even worse….tanning beds..can lead to increased risks of melanoma, wrinkly skin, dry and patchy skin, and other types of discoloration. If you live in a particularly sunny place or are a frequent beach goer, make sure to lather up with (reef safe) sunscreen. And if you go to the tanning bed….don\’t. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, using tanning beds just a couple of times can increase your risk of melanoma by 75%, especially if you are under 35. Keep your skin happy and healthy by PROTECTING it.
