@theskinstudent2: A tan is your skin’s defense response☀️ When you be radiation hits your skin specialized cells called melanocytes produce more melanin in an attempt to protect your DNA from further damage, which is what causes tanning. And while tanning has been normalized in our culture, there’s no such thing as a safe tan. Repeated UV exposure in sunburns, especially early in life significantly increases melanoma and skin cancer risk overtime. Protect your future skin because UV damage is cumulative. 🧴wear sunscreen 🕶️seek shade 👒 protect your skin daily #sunsafety #wearspf #uvdamage #skinhealth #sciencecommunication
