Tanning

Guest: Jay Yoo, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of Family and Consumer Sciences at Baylor and Vice President of academic affairs for the Texas Family and Consumer Sciences Association.  The quintessential summer activity is also terrible for our skin. We know that. We know tanning causes skin cancer and that nearly half of all cancers are skin-related.  But look at the magazine racks or the TV screen: A golden tan is still a beauty ideal, people are somehow able to pursue with gusto, despite knowing the risks.
