No Jon.... a tan is not a lower version of a sunburn. A sunburn is a
radiation burn and should be avoided. A Tan is the result of melanin in the
epidermal layer. You can tan and not burn.

I'm not the one requiring research here..... you are. I have an allergic
reaction to sunlight. I have discussed this with many specialists and none
of them have suggested that a tan is bad for you. All of them have warned a
burn is bad for you. You can tan without burning by limited exposure and a
good sunscreen.
