To keep your skin healthy, you must learn to protect it. And the most harmful agent you must protect it from is the sun. Damaging sun rays can cause wrinkles and skin cancer as well. They're really hard on people with light hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.

A golden, bronzed body is beautiful! We think it's healthy and desirable. But a tan is nothing more than your body's marvelous defense against the dangerous effects of the sun's harmful rays, the ones that lead to early aging of the skin, wrinkles and ultimately, skin cancer.

You absolutely cannot tan without damaging your skin. Sun damage is cumulative and irreversible. Your skin is like a sponge and a bank: it soaks up all those rays and stores them. Forever!

The best protection from the sun is to avoid it completely. Second best is to apply a good sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor of at least 15.
