What if you don't burn? Are you still at high risk? I've had 3 sort of sunburns and I never ever wear sunscreen

I lifeguard and I hardly ever burn. I just get a really really dark tan since I have a dark complexion.

But yeah, you're still at risk even if you don't burn. A tan is essentially your body's way of protecting you against UV rays, but it can only do so much - even if a burn isn't apparent.

People who use tanning beds = dumb asses. My mom is always yelling at me to put sun screen on, and I have a history of skin cancer in my family. I just facepalm at people who tan.

i saw this a few days ago and it was good, but i didn't wanna be a douche and send it to my friends, so i didn't. i'm lucky in that i have dark skin and rarely burn and don't have a history of skin cancer in my family, but some of my friends could do with a wake-up call. i just don't wanna be the one to go "HEY, ASHLAINAH, YOU MIGHT GET MELANOMA, WATCH THIS DEPRESSING VIDEO ABOUT IT."

yeah, sunburns not good for you... didn't people know that? I don't know why people go in tanning booths or just go to the beach to tan, thats boring as fuck. maybe it wasn't so much a big deal when they were kids (some of them at least) but it is now so everyone should know that.

I hate sunbathing as well. I've never really thought about cancer though, just that I dont want to look like a wrinkly monster by the time I'm 40

Actually I take that back. I did get sunburn right below my nose a couple summers ago for being on the beach for way too long with out sun screen. But it wasn't too bad.

can't you take skin damage from the sun though, even if you don't get a noticeable burn?

Yeah for sure. I tend to just skip sunburn and directly go to sun poisoning....which is bad. But like I said that's only happened once. I still put sun screen on now though because I really don't want any long-term damage.

Me too. My friends always roll their eyes because they'll go lay out for hours in the summer and I have no interest in doing that. Whatever bitches, when I still look good in twenty years, I'll have the last laugh.

I'm surprised at the amount of people who didn't know this stuff, even just in this thread. I honestly thought it was the sort of thing everyone knows but many people choose to ignore.

Yeah might be worth it, and no I am not fat, I am just not especially flexible!

So everyone who is anti tanning in here, what are your opinions on goggle tan? It's almost inescapable for people who ski a lot. Similarly, it's hard to not burn a little if you are out in the sun windsurfing all day, which is how I got burnt.

Honestly, I never burn. My family's skin is darker and we've never had that problem. But my little cousin was proof that it doesn't matter if you burn or not though, you can still get cancer.

On the same note, just because you're getting tan doesn't mean you're getting a shit ton of damage... it all depends on how much you're protecting yourself. Gog tans just happen, I get the darkest ones... but I always wear sunscreen.

I have freckles all up on my shoulders/arms/ and chest. a little on my face. I tan every monday because its only 3 bucks, and every other sunny day i just sit outside on my computer with my shirt off to catch some sun. And last summer i was a lifegaurd.

I only get burnt once a year, unless its spring skiing in colorado or im lifegaurding all day, then ill get burnt on my nose almost every day and my dad had skin cancer on his nose. My dad has no freckles and we both have really dark ass skin from being outside pretty much every day. how worried should i be about getting skin cancer?

Well then if you're not trolling you're at super high risk.

Such a great awareness video. I'm rep a local melanoma awareness foundation here that's aimed to skiers. Such a great cause and huge on awareness.

Woah, woah... I wasn't trying to be mean, dude. Why the hostility? It just sounded like you were fooling around with all the "I tan, and do this, and that" and I thought it would be pretty clear to someone that they were in pretty serious risk for cancer.

I'd quit the tanning asap and start wearing a shit ton of sunscreen if you don't already.

I was under the impression that any darkening of the skin equaled damage, regardless of skin tone.

I do worry about the amount of time I spend in the sun, when I am not skiing, I am outdoors doing something. I very rarely burn to the point where I am sore though, today was stupid.

Check this out.

It's a foundation for a phenomenal skier that died of a melanoma at 23. Great foundation has a test of how likely you are to get cancer.

When people tan, i laugh. I've tanned before, I don't get the point because it fades soooo quick. And tanning beds suck a lot.
