It's a healthy response, but still damage. The suntan is just
a lower version of sunburn. Sorry, but you need to do some
research on this. You're wrong and you'll regret it eventually.
One of my best friends is a dermatologist. He has no financial
incentive to tell me otherwise.

I agree with Moroon. Of course a dermitologist will say
a tan is unhealthy. They make money foisting off that
ignorant view upon their clients. They know everyone
gets out in the sun for long enough periods for untanned
skin to become damaged. They make a living off said
damage.

A tan is the body's healthy response to exposure to
the sun. A burn is the body's adverse reaction to not
having a tan and being exposed to the sun's rays. The
sunburn is the cause of skin cancer - not the suntan.

I hope this helps.

Putting aside Neal's racism, tans (any tan) is not healthy.
Ask any dermitologist.
