It’s a Tan-tastrophe

Two women partying the night away stand ready for their photo op, but something weird is going on. One, a blonde in a pink strapless mini gown, looks chic. Her friend, however, sports an ill-fitting outfit that unveils her overly-tanned skin. Over-tanning can make your skin dry and less elastic, leading to premature aging.

Despite the trend of “tanning for a healthy glow,” the risks associated with excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation are considerable. Skin damage and an increased risk of cancer are just a few of the potential consequences. This is a gentle reminder that sometimes, less is more, especially when sunbathing or using tanning beds.
