I tanned for a brief period a few years ago, and I looked fantastic. However, I decided that my future health was worth a lot more than my current situation and stopped; I am now white and darn proud of it.
My mom used to have a very good friend who had several cancerous spots removed from her face before she died; she was a frequent sunbather and she looked it. (She died of a heart attack, not skin cancer) She was 32. She looked at least 40. My mother in law is the same way...she is 48 and looks like she is pushing 60. A lot of people realize that cancer is a risk of sunbathing but I don't think a lot of people take into consideration the effect that it has on the skin (just referring to looks). If tanning beds were taken off the market I wouldn't lose any sleep.
