4. What SPF should I use?

5. What do you think of spray sunscreens?

6. How do I know if I need a mole check? Or who needs a routine skin examination?

 Whether you get it on the beach, in a bed, or through incidental exposure, tanning is bad news, any way you acquire it. The damage caused by tanning, even if you’re only getting a little bit of sun here or there, adds up over time and can contribute to aging and skin cancer.

Learn why tanning is bad for your skin, as well as how to check for changes in your skin and skin cancer prevention.
