Your opinion on tanning beds and too much regular sun
3/3/2007 at 12:05 AM
I am totally anti-tanning bed.
I've never used one and never will but my kids frequent them sometimes. They know how I feel about them, but they are also adults (and I mean over 20) and I cannot control what they do - I just give them facts and my opinion. It's starting to sink in to my one kid.
Now that I'm 45, I am starting to see terrible sun damage with some of my old friends, as well as damage I have incurred just with normal tanning, especially on the upper chest area and neck.
Don't get me wrong - I think a nice tan looks great, but from a person that doesn't and has never tanned well, I have learned my lesson.
Heck, we used to slather baby oil on and lay on foil to get a better tan. Yikes.
