I think part of it is to get a base tan before going on vacation so when your out all day in the sun you don't burn the first hour and then have a crap vacation for the rest of the week. But, yeah, there are people who use it as a make-up type thing. If it makes them happy, it's their decision. What I really don't like is seeing mothers slathering cancer causing sun screen on their young children all of the time. [/quote] iodine stains skin, thats why they use it. but skin doesnt need any help tanning, it does this best when there is nothing on the skin to impede the uva/b light, [/quote] Can "staining" the skin cause cancer ?? One of my relatives has already been diagnosed with a melanoma in the thigh had a large part removed and now a large scar in the upper thigh is obvious.... still in denial what caused this...uses iodine and baby oil almost everyday and sits in the sun daily [/quote]

creams on their bodies like iodine and baby oil and sitting under those tanning beds for hours...
This is very dangerous and causes cancers
Why are americans in particular so obsessed with looking "tan"??
I travel overseas and the fair skinned European women don't seem to care how fair they are in general.
I have relatives who are>> I would go so far as to say.... "pathologically" obsessed with this tanning business...
They slap iodine and baby oil on their bodies almost EVERYDAY
Can this cause cancer over time? This just seems so dangerous to me
I don't say anything for fear they would have a "fit"
What is it with this tan business?
I see so many tanning places around as well doing big business...
Did no see one in the place I was in Europe NOT one...
