Why do you think the societal preference for"tan"skin often outweighs the risks of developing skin cancer?Are tanning booths safe, and why is the appeal so strong that people just ignore the warnings?

if someone wants to get tan bad enough they ignore the warnings of skincare but they could just buy some self tanning lotion its a lot safer but no matter what i tell my friends they keep tanning and no tanning salons are even worse than not wearing sunscreen @ the beach, some people are too stubborn to care about health risks like that but i know i will never ever go to a tanning salon

Tanning has been popular only since the 1920s. I read somewhere that it began with Coco Chanel, the famous fashion designer and perfume inventor. She went off somewhere, came back with a tan, and suddenly it was high fashion.We know more about it today than we used to. It causes more trouble than just the occasional skin cancer. It causes skin to dry out and wrinkle faster.Still, a tan makes you look healthy and active. I can see the appeal. I think it's possible to minimize the cancer and risk of skin damage if it's done right, not overdone. I think this would be easier in a tanning bed where you can actually control the amount of light your body gets.

Spray-on tans are pretty safe, but usually pretty obvious.Tanned skin is the result ofA. A person who spends a lot of time in the sun and simply develops it as a side-effect orB. A person who cares more for the short-term effects of looking fashionable vs. the long term effects of cancer.People also tend to assume that the amount of radiation they receive is not enough to develop cancer.Additionally, skin cancer is a less malignant form of cancer. This doesn't make it harmless, but people seem to think it does.In case you're wondering about my picture, I'm Israeli, ok? Like, born in America, but Middle Eastern ancestry.

Because of it is necessary to apply sunscreen every 2 hours and more often if some of it has been removed by swimming or sweating. Summer clothing should involve much more than just a t-shirt thrown over your swimwear.
