Details
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Sun tanning, also called bronzing, is the act of exposing the skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, for the purpose of darkening skin color, either during sun bathing or using artificial sources, such as tanning beds. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays has detrimental health effects, including possible burn and even skin cancer.
