my father is a landscaper here in florida... he is so dark now he doesn't get sunburn. has no skin problems... but he will, i'm sure. there are different forms of skin cancer (i just had a friend that had a tumor removed from his forehead, it was skin cancer that was grew embedded in his skull, he thought it was a fat zit, but after 2 months it wouldn't go away) but they say if you live long enough you will get skin cancer... but who wants that when their young... who wants to look like the lady on something about mary?
eh... just wear your SPF and you'll be ok. i have a vacation on the beach in two weeks i'm going to be in the sun all day for 7 straight days... but then again i'm only 27 and still consider myself invincible... invisible rays from the sun ain't gonna' beat me * as i pull chunks of burnt skin off my back *
