not only that, but if you tan a lot your skin will start to turn leathery and look absolutely terrible when you get older.

I know friends that get tan or sunburn when they go skiing on a sunny day.... perhaps you are looking for a more complex answer.

I also suffer from SAD and have been successfully utilizing a tanning salon, in the winter months only, with great results.  I realize UVA/UVB rays can be harmful, but I use sunblock and I only go 2 times a week during Dec./Jan./Feb.; by then, spring is back where I live and I can be outdoors again.

Yes, all the answers above are correct. But here's a link. Remember to be safe when out in the sun though!

You should _ALWAYS_ wear sunscrean specially when you want to tan, it wont prevent you from tanning if you use a low factor... lets say... betwen 20~40 you will get a nice/heatly tan...

Stay out of the sun. Suntanning is the worst. That and liquor.

Banana Boat make a great lotion called aloe after sun. It is really good. If sun burned, try dabbing cold wet tea bags (lipton tea works the best) on the burned area. The sooner you use the bags, the better it works after a long day in the sun. I learned this from an Herbalist, it worked good for me. Easied the pain and limited the peeling after word....

Yes you can. Sunscreen is there to stop some of the harmful rays that cause things like cancer away from your skin. It doesn't stop you tanning although you might tan slower than you would if you didn't use it. But personally I'd rather be healthy.

Avoid using hot water on that area, it will dry your skin out more.  Apply Aloe Vera gel or lotion to the burnseveral times a day.  Do not use any oil or petroleum based products on a sunburn.  Stay out of the sun and allow your body to heal.  If the burn doesn't get better or you notice any unusual growths caused by the sunburn make an appointment with your doctor.  Next time use sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays.  Protect your skin, good luck to you.

Honey, I understand! Here is what I do, and I hate before I do it, but it works. When it is cold, dark, rainy, etc. I do not want to do a thing. I'd rather lay in bed or in the house watching TV and eating all day. But, we can lead a very productive life that way can we. So what I do is drag my lazy butt to the shower, get dressed, make-up and all, and go outside and just become part of what is going on. Really it helps. Something else that helps but I hate to recommend b/c it isn't good for your overall health, is artificial sunlight. However, if you put sunblock all over you and go lay in a tanning bed for 7-10 minutes, it'll perk you up a little, but not as much as learning to enjoy the day by doing something outdorsy no matter what the weather is like.

The sun damages your skin every time you are out in it.  Suntanning is NEVER healthy.  Even if you are naturally darker-skinned, you will still have wrinkles and unhealthy skin and it's still possible for you to get skin cancer.\nAlways wear sunscreen or sunblock, at least SPF 15.\nAnd, tanning beds are even worse than the sun--they increase the amount of bad light rays that hit your skin.

It is mainly to avoid those nasty tanlines, but it feels really good to have the sun shining down on your bare naked body. Whenever I live somewhere with a private yard, I take any chance I can to sunbathe nude. It just feels good!
