Tanning
We get asked this a lot: “Is there a safe way to get a summer tan?” Sorry to disappoint you, but no amount of tanning is safe. Some people have a common misconception that the extra melanin from tanning will protect the skin from sun damage. Although melanin can indeed protect you to some extent against UV rays, it is actually a defense mechanism that begins only after the damage has been done. So if you want that sun-kissed look, self-tanning creams are your safest bet.
