‘There was no escaping the heat or the people. There was no space to stretch out your legs and arms. Everywhere were sweating, salty bodies with brown, dirty faces peeling from sunburn and slowly darkening.’ Page 22…
Tanning means different things to different people. To some it might be a reminder of wonderful memories on the beach, or perhaps a vacation in a nice tropical country. For others it could simply mean a way of taking care of themselves. Some people are lucky enough to have sun all year round to keep them tanned. But what about those of us who do not have the luxury of sun all year round?…

As soon as we got there My Uncle Shaun and I were put on tent duty. We didn’t have a camper, or a houseboat, so the most reasonable option was to bring tents! This side of my family doesn’t go camping much, so I found it very interesting that we were “tenting.” Mostly my uncle set up the tents, since I was about eleven and didn’t like to work. I mean, I still don't, who does? Anyways, because I had my swimming suit on, I found it very appealing to go for a swim. So I stepped in and I did not expect what I got! The water was warm, a whopping 80 degrees fahrenheit! I had never been in water so warm until I came here. Normally we go to lakes/reservoirs it’s usually Island Park, Jensen’s Grove, or American…
As my skin begins to crisp and blister, my water bottle in desperate need of a refill, I look up to the blinding, hot, Australian sun, and sigh. We have only been at MovieWorld for thirty minutes and I am already as red as a lobster and its only 9:30am.…
On the first day after arriving in Australia for Winter Break, a student plays volleyball out in the sun for six hours. Later that night he notices that the skin on his trunk, legs, and arms becomes red, blistered, swollen and extremely painful. By morning all of the afflicted areas have developed numerous blisters. These areas cover about 30% of the trunk (front and back) and 40% of the arms and legs.…
Have you ever been tanning? I have been tanning multiple times and I love it. Tanning is defined as “A structure lined with sunlamps in which one stands or reclines in order to acquire a suntan”. Tanning’s purpose as it is defined is to get a tan. Tanning beds are used by people to tan all year around. Men and women are no longer forced to make time to tan outside or to schedule a time around the weather because of tanning beds. Another reason tanning beds are convenient is it only takes a short amount of time to show results when regularly you would have to lay outside for hours before you see results. In this paper, I am going to evaluate tanning where it came from, who invented it, where, and why. Last but not least were going to be looking at the positive and the negative aspects of tanning too.…
The use of tanning beds has become increasingly popular in minors and young adults. Teenagers see celebrities on TV and in magazines with glowing tans, and think they need to have this perfectly bronzed look year round. Some question how they are able to keep their sun kissed skin during the winter. This often leads young adults to visit tanning salons so they can achieve the desired “healthy glow”. After a few sessions in a tanning bed the skin pigment starts to darken toward the desired look, but the risk of skin cancer increase dramatically. In some states, teenagers are willing it break the law in their quest for sun-kissed skin, especially in the middle of a Minnesota winter. It’s important that minors should be not able to go into one of these beds because it dramatically increases their chances to develop skin cancer and has many negative effects later on.…
ii. Skin ages rapidly when exposed to the dangerous UV rays of the sun or tanning bed.…
The suns powerful rays would burn or sunburn the skin. In some cases, people would see changes in their skin collagen. Erythema, which is the reddening of the skin, will also appear on the skin. Actinic or solar keratosis happens when the skin has had very long term exposure to sunlight. When exposed for too long, the skin may burn and peel off. This causes stinging pain and a lot more symptoms to come. The skin will feel hot and maybe even blister (“The risk”). There are other methods in getting a tan that does not require sun or UV rays, but still come with risks.…
For three summers I didn’t come home from my summer job smelling like grease from the local café or fresh cut mowed lawns, but I came home smelling like chlorine and tanning oil. I spent my days in a high lifeguard stand, towering over bathers enforcing rules and watching for drowning victims. I slathered on the tanning oil to get the perfect deep brown tan, and occasionally lifted my polarized sunglasses to double-check the patrons. It’s a hard job, but someone’s got to do it.…
I have chosen sunbathing as I think it is important that people my age know about the long term and short term risks and problems sunbathing can cause, I am interested in this as I think the long term risk is not worth the short term tan and I would like to warn others about the highly dangerous risks that just aren’t worth taking. Although sunbathing can enhance your looks and self confidence, it can be very harmful when not used properly, used too often or used without UV protection creams.…
You should always be careful to avoid overexposure to the sun at the beach can be eliminated. The topic is about relaxing from everyday pressures of life.…
All I feel is a burning sensation tingling through me. Glancing up through the blue waves, I can make out the hot sun, its rays beating down onto the seawater. I feel strange and very hot, and I wonder what is in store for me next. Water around me also becomes warm and before I know it something very strange happens……
