Don't do it! Don't go to the tanning place! There is no such thing as a safe tan. A lady I know died of skin cancer. Once Paul and I helped a childhood friend of mine move a big piece of furniture. I've known Krys since we were in 6th grade. Afterwards, Paul said to me "What happened to her skin?" I asked what he meant, and he said her skin looked so much older than mine, and I said "Oh, Krys was a lifeguard for two summers when we were in high school. She used to get really tan." I didn't, and it made a huge difference in our skin by the time we were 32.

I wear sunscreen, or I burn badly. I often burn even using sunscreen, but it's very mild. I have absurdly sensitive skin, the sunblock I use without getting a rash is the highest SPF I can find, hypoallergenic unscented sunscreen made for babies. But hey, it works!
