Is having a suntan bad for you?!
Question: No, it actually better for you than not having one! Sunbathing is good for you because it makes you feel better and the sunlight on your skin produces Vitamin D in your body which improves your health all round.
Unfortunately, as usual certain scientists have taken the subject of sunbathing out of context, or rather, their experiments were out of context within the meaning of life. Their results made it look as though being exposed to sunlight was bad for you. The experiments were flawed and they are afraid of admitting the truth now.

It is the way the sun tan is gained that is usually bad for you... sun and sun-beds are main causes of skin cancer... but having an actual sun-fan (fake) is not bad for you... unless it is orange... :)
Its not the tan itself, just the UV required to produce it. Like all radiation there is no safe dose. the more exposure you get, the higher the cancer risk.
Hi, That Depends How?...... you get your Tan, the Sun IS safe-If you use correct Sun Lotions. Sun beds are Bad for you. So l guess The Best Way-is Fake tan, done at a Good Tanning studio- they last- and look great.

Having one, no. Getting one can be. Malignant Melanoma a skin cancer can occur from prolonged sun exposure.
the actual sun tan is burnt skin and its the uv rays that do the damage .although we need sunlight as it provides vitamin D .going on sun beds is a big no no as you increase your chances of skin cancer no end!the best tan is out of a bottle!:)
I don't know man, mines an all year round natural one
It's not the Suntan that's bad for you as physiologically suntans make you feel better. It's the UV Rays getting it that's bad for you.
Well, I come from where the sun shines all day and it wasn't bad for anybody....Mind you, you have to have the right pigmentation for it.
For me it is. I have to stay out of the sun because I blister. I have had bouts of skin cancer because when I was younger, my grandmother would not allow me to cover up. It hits you when you are older.
Tanning causes skin cancer, I just assume go pale :)
Being a redhead, I burn terribly easily. So yes it is bad. Also, skin cancer runs i y family. Again, it is bad. Then also, it dries ones skin and causes wrinkles. So again, it is bad. All the D in the world isn't worth all that. And one gets enough D with normal sun exposure, and there is D in my milk and in my Calcium/D tablets. So I can do without the suntan. I'll compare my skin with all you sun tanners in 10, 20, and 30 years and show you who was right.
They always say that ... but I think some sun does you some good. Just don't over due it.
Good to see you TPS.
