The dangers of sun exposure have been the source of much debate in recent years. Some experts have gone as far as advising people to avoid the sun at all times. Others argue that the risks of sun exposure have been overblown and that spending time in the sun offers many health benefits (provides Vitamin D, helps fight certain kinds of depression, etc.).
There are merits to both sides of the sun exposure debate. It is important to note that overexposure to UV light, whether it is from natural sources or from a tanning bed, has been proven to be dangerous. The reality is that most people like to be outside and many of them enjoy the look and feel of having a tan; it is important to educate yourself and have accurate information in order to tan responsibly.

It is a myth that people with dark skin don't need sunscreen. No matter your race or ethnic origin, or whether or not you already have a base tan everyone needs to protect themselves from overexposure to the sun.
