I've done it too...it feels good, you look good, and the lotions smell good, but fake baking as well as regular sun-bathing could leave you regretting it down the road.  Skin cancers are on the rise...cover up that skin your in!  Wear a hat, sunscreen and if you can - stay out of the sun during peak afternoon hours.  I know I'm guilty - I only put sunblock on my arms when I went to the beach yesterday and I'm rocking a tan on my chest and face...but after reading this...I may try to slather it on head to toe from now on!
