Okay, yes. Aside from being a makeup artist I am also an esthetician, and yes, I believe tanning is probably the worst thing you can do for your skin. That's only if you want to have smooth, even-toned, wrinkle-free skin for as long as possible.
I'm also aware that it's going to happen (soaking up sun, that is) especially if you live in Florida and I personally love going to the beach and getting some rays myself...safely, of course.
With that being said, I have been a bit horrified when my beautiful, young and lovely brides have confessed they were going to tanning beds "only a few times" to get a nice color before the wedding. "All it takes is a few times" I try to tell them, but I can tell they look at me like the party-pooper esthetician/makeup artist that's raining on their golden skin parade.
