Hello Interloper!

So what do I say to those people who strongly believe that a tan makes them look good and healthy?
My response is always to ‘fake it’!
Long-term UV exposure can lead to reduced skin elasticity (contributing to the appearance of lines and wrinkles), and can also cause pigmentation and overall degradation of skin texture, as well as increasing your risk of suffering from Skin Cancer.
If you want to delay some of the physical symptoms of skin ageing, it’s definitely worth reaching for the fake tan rather than jumping into the sunbed – your skin will thank you for it!
