Some people don't care
Quote From: lynnz28I just finished watching the story about the too tan teen. I've got to say that I was once that girl. I use to love tanning inside and out. I thought it made me look better and all my friends tanned with me. Guess what? At 27, I was diagnosed with Skin Cancer. The good news for me, it was stage 1. I had surgery on my arm back in August of 2005. I now have to go to the doctor every 3 months to be checked out. I'm so careful about being in the sun now. Its just not worth it to me. Its funny how when this first happened, my friends all freaked out and went to the doctor to be checked out. Almost a year later, some of those same people are back in the tanning beds. I have to say this was a HUGE wake up call for me!! I've heard of people getting nasty skin infections from tanning beds not being clean, let alone people wasting money and time to look like a brownie. I have tried tanning, but I'm so pale, I'd have to go every day almost just to get some color because my skin just don't wanna take it. So, now I just sit out and use Jergen's Natural Glow. It works ok and I like the fact that I can be paler one day and darker another.
