Challenging Statistics by “Skin Cancer Foundation”
Statistics dated 2008 state that 1 in 5 Americans will get skin cancer in their lifetime. Well, I have 4 brothers and sisters. If I also include my mom and dad, this disqualifies that statistic so far. What do they mean by skin cancer? There are a few forms of it, but they have not specified. “According to an Alberta research paper just out; non melanoma skin cancer rates have been dropping since 2001 – approximately 12.6% drop up to 2010.”
Here is another statistic on their website. Up to 90 percent of the visible changes commonly attributed to aging are caused by the sun. What about smoking? So, if sun is aging someone 90% than smoking can only age you 10%? I know people who smoke, and they look way older than someone who tans. Now, I am not saying someone who tans habitually and has alligator skin. That look is OUT! There is nothing wrong with moderate tanning to have a light, bronze glow. If you are caring for an elderly family member by yourself, you age. I know because I was there. People noticed it; they said something. Now that I have had help to care for my mom, people are now saying I look younger again. So, what type of percentage is accurate to place on the sun/UV?

A good reason to tan
One great reason to tan is if you have booked a sunny destination for your vacation. Why? Do you want to enjoy the whole time outside? The sun here is definitely different than when you are closer to the equator. Having a base before should be part of your vacation package. Call a tanning salon and listen to them. We must be informative enough to convice you it is important.
I have heard horror stories of vacationers burning the first day and not able to enjoy the outside for a few days. This is when the night life kicks in. lol Even I use sunblock when vacationing, but I do leave room for Mr. Sun to bronze up my tan. The great thing about having a base is after your vacation you look like you have been on vacation. If you don’t, you look a little red, maybe some tan, but your legs are still ghostly white unless your vacation last for 10 days or more. It is the hardest part of the body to tan for most people.
Give yourself about a month to work up your base tan slowly. This ensures no burn and better results. This is how we should be teaching everyone to tan.
Do you have a horror story that you would like to share? It would be fun- sick aren’t I- to get some feedback on this. Well at least it is after the fact.
Bye for now,
Sunny

First steps
A blog is something you are suppose to do more regularly than I do. My two questions are
1. Who wants to hear about a little ole tanning salon
2. What is it that gets people interested in coming in to see what is all the hoopla.
Have any of you ever considered tanning? Now, all the news media and the lovely tan tax which I did send to the big, bad gov. today, makes people apprehensive.
First and the most important information you will get from me is if you have history of any type of cancer in your family, you SHOULD NOT be tanning in any UV bed. OK that is a hard thing for salon owners to tell their customers, but it is one that should not be overlooked at all. I think the same could be said for any vice in society. Don’t smoke if there is history of cancer in your family. Yes, other things can happen if you smoke for a long, extended period of your life, but who is to say that it is not a trigger for family history cancer too?
But we do have a sunless spray, so if you have never tried this, it is worth trying once. If you have never been tan in your life, it is quite a treat. Ask lots of questions before getting sprayed. This information will help you get the best results.
