If you think this is true, you're playing with fire. Although a bronzed complexion may appear healthy, sun worshipers are actually doing long-term damage to their skin and placing themselves at risk for deadly diseases. Sunlight causes wrinkles, saggy skin and age spots.
Sunlight also causes cancer, and plenty of it.
Skin cancer kills more than 9,200 Americans every year and disfigures millions more. More than 90 percent of all skin cancers occur on sun-damaged skin. In addition, sunlight has become more dangerous. Damage to the planet's ozone layer has increased the amount of harmful radiation that reaches your skin. Today, one out of every 105 people will develop this cancer.
