OMG that is so sad to hear, I have to send this to my daughter, she is 19 and likes to go to the tanning salon. These kids don't realize how dangerous this is. My prayers are with this girl...

I don't tan anymore. I'm doing the best I can to prevent wrinkles.

I'm terrible. I start off with the tanning salon around mid-May, and then beach it for as long as the weather stays warm. I'm not really wrinkled from it - genetic luck!
At least nothing a few shots (not botox) didn't get rid of, but I'm 60, so some wrinkles are to be expected.

But...my dermatologist and I are really close. I go there often for a full body cancer check. Anything she sees, she sends out for a biopsy. I've been really lucky so far.
2 pre-cancerous thingies on my face and one on the bottom of my foot years ago.

The beach is my favorite place. I read, swim, relax and just love it there. I'm a real summer person.
