Sun Worshipper

An estimated 30 million Americans have turned to indoor sun bathing when the weather is to bad for outdoor sun bathing. Well, alot of people are against this. Many dermatologists are putting messages out there that there has been an increase of melanoma and if you go around to different doctors offices, or just read around, there are brochures against tanning, and facts about an increase in skin cancer. Well, if anyone was to do some proper sun bathing research, then they would see that most of it is just a scare.
Sure there have been cases where tanning, indoor and outdoor, have led to the cause of cancer. But if the person has skin cancer that runs through their family, then sure, tanning would help increase their chances at getting it. But if people were to tan the "smart" way, then it would help to prevent cancer. What i mean by the smart way is that indoor tanning helps prevent sunburn. Since tanning is natural for a person's body, helping prevent sunburn, that may sometimes come along with outdoor tanning, it may help skin from becoming permanently scarred or damaged. Also, tanning salons teach people how their skin type will react to the UV rays, and will only allow a person to go for a certain amount of time, depending on their skin type.
Tanning also has health benifits. Did you know that Humans make 90 percent of their vitamin D from sun exposure? And that UVB rays produce vitamin D, which is healthy for a person's skin. I think that everyone should look past the scared of tanning and give it a chance. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be, as long as tan in moderation. I absolutely love tanning, and it's not just the idea of being tan, it's also actually extremely relaxing as well!
