It depends where you live and how close the sun is to you. For instance, Australia's sun is closer to them as is New Zealand. It doesn't take long for some people (fair skinned) to get a bad burn and any bad burn is not healthy for you. Tans look great on people while young, but it also ages women in particular long before they should age. It's obvious that most young women don't really care and even will go to tanning beds, or buy their own tanning beds. It's an individual choice. Using the right sunscreen helps and it should be water-proof. Salt water in particular will tan you quicker. 1/2 hour out in the hot sun is usually enough, but most people over-do it and are fooled by the fact that they don't burn so they are OK. Marcy
