<p>I have very fair skin, and sunburned easily as a child. I admit that I used to use tanning beds sometimes when I was in my early 20’s. But that was 30 years ago. For a very long time now, I always try to avoid the sun, wear hats, and/or wear sunscreen. Hey, my skin is supposedly my best feature, so I want to preserve it as long as I can. I see people my age whose skin does pretty much look like a leather handbag, and I’m very glad I don’t look like that. Even apart from the health risks. Which I knew about even 30 years ago, but ignored.</p>
<p>Fortunately, my son has no interest whatsoever in tanning. He’s a little darker than I am, and doesn’t burn as easily. I always try to remind him to use sunscreen.</p>
