    I started tanning a couple months ago but have been back since. Do you guys know how frequently i should go if im just starting out new?

    The most important thing is to promote public awareness through education. Both my children age 13 & 10 are very aware of the necessity to protect their skin against the UV rays and know of the risks if they opt out. the rules are simple: If you're fair-skinned, you run a higher risk in developin skin cancer if you expose yourself irresponsibly to uv rays, so be vigil and protect yourself. We all love to tan because look better and healrhier and I recently found the perfect solution: spray tan for that special occasion, it looks even and natural and lasts dour to five days, risk free, not bad.

    What's interesting is that most of the cases of skin cancer are in the parts of the world where people DON'T get much sun! Figure THAT one out! I work in research, and believe me -- you can sway the statistics any which way you like!
