Okay Mooron, enough of this. Tanning is a bad thing. Tan sking ALWAYS indicates
some level of damage.

Providing a definition of "tanning" isn't as stupid as it seems. A tan
occurs when the skin absorbs ultraviolet radiation (commonly called "UV rays").
As a response, the skin produces a substance known as melanin, which darkens
the skin's outer layers. While many believe that a tan makes us appear
healthier, a tan is actually a sign that the skin has been damaged. It's
similar to the beginning stages of a burn.

And there you have it.
