Let’s
Talk About
Sun Protection

A tan is your skin reacting to
injury from UV rays. That’s

A tan doesn’t last. But the damage
from UV rays sure does. You could
see it later in these ways:
--Sunburns (ouch!)
Sunburns before
--Eye problems
age 18 increase the

chances of getting skin
--Dark patches
cancer even more.
--Wrinkles
--Premature aging
--Skin cancer
Lucky you!
