08.01.2022 Does getting an early summer tan help prevent skin cancer? A question we get asked frequently. The answer is : To get a tan you need to damage your skin- the skin darkens in order to prevent more damage, but the person's risk of skin cancer is already increased. So there is no such thing as a "safe" or "healthy" tan. Since sunburns are also associated with higher risks of skin cancer, especially melanoma, avoid both tans and sunburns. http://www.skincancer.org//will-getting-a-tan-before-going
