We all know what sun damage can do both to the beauty and longevity of our skin, but there just seems to be more and more damaging evidence piling up against the sun’s harmful rays, as it relates to our overall health, and more and more reasons to use only self tanners to get that coveted tan!
It has been estimated recently that as many as 60,000 people die per year in direct relation to getting too much sun exposure. Most of these deaths are caused by malignant skin cancer, which is directly related to the damaging rays of the sun, and only worsened by the increasing radiation output due to a deteriorated ozone layer.
The World Health Organization also found that about 48,000 deaths are caused by malignant melanomas per year, and roughly 12,000 by other kinds of skin cancer. 90 percent of these cancers are caused by sun exposure.
Sun exposure can also cause eyesight problems, cataracts, blisters, cold sores and other unattractive developments in the skin. Not to mention, wrinkles and premature aging. Like I said, need I give you more evidence that self tanning is the way to go?
