Need a reason to stop tanning? Here's 10.

Here are 10 ugly but true reasons to stop tanning: 

1. Because pale really is the new tan. Even the celebs are going natural!  http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/05/24/death-of-the-tan-emma-stone-jessica-chastain-taylor-swift/2148259/
2. Because melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and if you've ever used indoor tanning, you're 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma than those who have never tanned indoors. http://www.skincancer.org/news/melanoma/melanoma-young-adults-2012
3. Because melanoma is more than just "cutting it off". Melanoma develops quickly and can metastasize (spread) to internal organs such as the brain, lungs and liver. When metastasized, the one-year survival rate is 36% with one metastatic site, 13% with two organ sites and less than 1% with more than two organ sites.http://www.hemispherx.net/content/rnd/metastatic.htm
4. Because melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults 25-29 years old and the second most common form of cancer for adolescents and young adults 15-29 years old. http://www.melanomafoundation.org/AMF%20Skin%20cancer%20fact%202013.pdf
5. Because someone dies every hour from melanoma. http://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/skin-cancer-facts
6. Because a tan shouldn't define you http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aEjhgNkpoSk
7. Because pale is pretty! http://pinterest.com/aboutfaceskin/pale-pretty-skin/
8. Because sun exposure causes aging! http://www.glorysurgery.com/beauty/sun-exposure-causes-aging-wrinkles-8377/
9. Because your skin is perfectly and uniquely you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vfry83vfUD8
10. Because it's not fun worrying about your future each and every day. On the outside the scars may heal, but the inside heals much, much slower... if at all.
