Be smart

Skin cancer can be very serious. You should always wear some sort of protection on your skin when you are going to be in the sun for a long period of time. If you do not want to wear sunscreen and you want to wear tanning lotion make sure that it has SPF and UVB protection. Skin cancer can start out looking like a freckle but if it is not circular and starts to change color and shape you should get it checked out. You can die if you do not get it removed. If you have a spot of skin cancer and it gets removed make sure that if you continue to be in the sun that you cover it in sunscreen so the sun does not hit the spot again. That can be very serious. Always be safe when tanning and make sure that you are being smart. If you want good skin when you get older make sure you take care of it while your growing up.
