but note: An approved rating system to measure UVA protection has not been approved at this time!

I've been reading up on this shit of late, because of my natural tendency/inkling to get burned and not worry about it overly.
Obviously this is bad and I should stop. But everyone who is tanning needs to realise how bad that is for them too!
Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation shows itself as:
- a tan or sunburn
- wrinkling of the skin after long-term exposure
- skin cancer and cataracts
Found out that very simply put, UVB rays = sunburning rays
UBA rays = aging rays
That's awesome that you researched this...
Cudos to you Jem...

Well we can't completely avoid the sun... but avoiding a burn and possible skin cancer by using sunscreen is a super good idea... whether you get a tan or not...
=D

Yea, and through sunscreen, you can actually get a tan "safely".
(Though it wont be as intense and will take a good deal longer to attain... but you've also elimated the dangers of tanning!!)

anyways, i'll be at victoria beach for about a month as of june 14th and will then be road tripping back to TO around the time you'll get there. there may be a chance that we can see each other.

So did I. I think that's b/c each day it makes you a little darker, so if you don't want to be really dark than you can stop using it after 3 days or something.
