Does Tanning From UV Exposure From The Sun Cause DNA Damage | MaximumSkin

A tan is a result of your cells trying to protect you from the damage caused by UV exposure (whether that’s the sun, tanning beds, etc).

Now, I’m not saying to live under a rock for the rest of your life, but if your main concern is to get a tan, might I suggest some self-tanners?

Self-tanners are a great way to tan your skin, without all the DNA damage that increases your risk of developing melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancer.

Protect the largest organ in the human body with some sunscreen!

Ps: no, wearing sunscreen does not stop your from getting vitamin D.

She looks like the kinda person that would say “the sun isn’t damaging” 💀💀

I don't specifically try to get tanned, but I spend a lot of time outside. Usually, my skin colour stays the same but during summer I get quite a bit darker, is that alright, or do I have cancer?

Lol. I can already see her skin damage. She likely looks way older than she otherwise would.
