Our ancestors did not die from skin cancer. They ate healthy foods and therefore their bodies were able to handle the sun's rays. If you're interested in learning more this link talks about the nutrition our body needs that prevents sun burns and getting skin cancer--http://www.cheeseslave.com/2008/06/10/why-we-dont-use-sunscreen/ The comments people wrote about their own personal experiences have plenty of good stuff in them too. <br /><br />I'm not affiliated with her. I just have people in my family that do burn and my husband use to burn quite a bit before he started eating healthy. It's really scary for me and I worry about it so I try to make sure that we eat well and keep taking our cod liver oil. <br /><br />I just found your website and love your style :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141660836124977540.post-54474214080238822422011-06-20T13:51:17.898-04:002011-06-20T13:51:17.898-04:00I did the tanning bed thing for a few years.

I was scared as you described. It was also benign. But, I definitely don't use a tanning bed and have just opted to go all natural... though others may thank me for trying some of these options. haha. I have wondered about the Mystic tans... Is there a strong smell with it?Hyphen Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306659332514530934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141660836124977540.post-68413232668536441132011-06-16T10:05:32.982-04:002011-06-16T10:05:32.982-04:00It's hard to give up tanning when you're u...It's hard to give up tanning when you're used to seeing yourself with color...but with the fake stuff that's out there now, it's a little easier! I've had a similar scare, on my neck! They had to go back 3 times to cut larger and larger spots to get all the bad cells out, now I have a little scar. The scare was worth it though and I'm more careful about the sun, and def don't do beds anymore! glad you are healthy and safe!!Cassie {Hi Sugarplum}https://www.blogger.com/profile/09407708187775806177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141660836124977540.post-79367387017240268962011-06-15T05:53:08.135-04:002011-06-15T05:53:08.135-04:00My next door neighbour, a 34 year old man with 2 t...My next door neighbour, a 34 year old man with 2 toddlers, died 6 weeks ago from melanoma. No symptoms....from the time he was diagnosed until he died was 12 days. So incredibly scary. And yet, I've been going to tanning beds for years and still do.

Good thing someone guilted you into seeing that dermatologist.

Thanks for spreading the word about accepting life without tanning beds. On another note, I need to know everything about your "after mystic tan" picture! How do you do your bronzer/blush? What color is your hair? Meaning is there a color name, or ?? You look gorgeous! I love your bangs!!

Scary. My husband was diagnosed at 30 with stage 3 melanoma. It spread to one lymph node. The treatment and surgeries were awful. It just takes one sunburn. I wish people understood how dangerous tanning and getting a burn is. Thanks for posting this.Katie @ minivan divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461717433497663204noreply@blogger.com
