Most neccessary, to survive.

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.
