Although we receive a lot of things from the sun, warmth, heat,light, and vitamin enrichment. Tanning is not a good thing, to relish in from the sun. Each time you tan yourself, your skin is damaged, and the more you do it, the more damage you do to your skin. Even applying suntan lotion, with various SP factors, may
not be enough, to combat the effects of the change to your precious skin. As you age, you will no doubt encounter wrinkles which will deepen, from the effects of the sun. More important, there is the danger of skin cancer, melanoma, as it is properly called. These are very dangerous blemishes, which cause discoloration, and can go deep into, your very inner cells and, if not treated or caught in time, could lead to your death. One of the most famous people to die from melanoma, was Maureen Reagan, President Reagan's daughter. Others have been stricken with the disease, Senator John McCain has had four bouts with it. He had to have deep surgery to remove the cancerous growths. At this time, he is cancer free.
Some people use tanning beds, these are not thought to be safe either. The only thing that is not thought of as harmful, are the bottled tanning solutions, so if you must indulge, stay out of the sun and off of the tanning beds, try the bottled kind of solution, to be kinder to your skin, so as not to risk having skin cancer later in life, or sooner. It has been reported, that those who are in their twenties, are experiencing skin cancer, at an alarming rate. Be aware that the sun is an enemy of your skin, and take precautions, this is your life, it's not just about a short term, beautiful suntan, it's about your long term health.
Take care.

..Hi, would you like to do me a favor, I know you won't, but
please go to a hospital and ask them to direct you to a person who has gotten skin cancer, and just talk to them.
Your life is immediately changed, if you find out you have skin cancer. You have to worry, if you catch it, did you catch it in time. It goes into your body and then, it spreads. This is not funny, and I want you to stop it now! I am sorry to be such a b....h, but you have entered my little world, and I have to express myself. Check it, even if you use sunscreen or block, it is not as effective, as it should be. Please write me back and tell me, don't fib, I want you to commit yourself to protecting yourself. You are young, lets live without the worry of cancer in our body, by not doing something stupid, as you correctly said. I look forward to your message of hope 
). I am not laughing. There is concern here. Thanks for consideration.

Please don't be concerned.
I do appreciate the seriousness of what you're saying.
But to me skin cancer is no more than one of life’s many hazards.
Living involves risk. At home, in the streets, everywhere.
And it’s very unlikely I’ll alter my lifestyle.
Sorry .. but .. er ... you did ask me not to fib.

...Hi Kibitz, Cute name. Adam has deep meaning.
Thanks for responding. OK, honest Abe ), I will not be concerned, I will try an alterntive, since you are unwilling to at least buy the strongest sunscreen, and apply it, because that would so alter your lifestyle. I will not badger you, I promise,(I already did), but I cerainly don't want to say I told you so. Hopefully with time, you may change your mind. But what the hay, George Burns smoked a cigar every day and lived to be 100 years old, if I am not mistaken. So perhaps your angels will look out for you, after all, you are Adam, that counts for something special. Take care. Louise
