Suppose a friend tells you that she wants to get a tan because of people with tans look healthier. What would you tell her?

I would tell her that a tan isn’t what makes people look healthy, it’s their lifestyle choices. A lot of the time, people are tan because they’re outside exercising or working, which is good for their bodies. If she wants to look healthier and get a tan, she could spend time outside working out, even just walking. That way, she could get more tan and make her body physically healthier in order to achieve her goals.

Answer:

No. There is no safe amount of tanning. Tanning isn't bad for you just because it comes with the risk of burning, which can cause skin cancer.

I would tell her that they may LOOK healthier, but they are at risks for many things.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I were her, I would just stick to the sun tanning, when your laying out in the sun and get a little tan. Not to go someplace and get a tan, its dangerous.
