STAY OUT OF THE SUN!!

Sun tanning is totally old school, and I do mean "old". When I was a kid I remember my mother laying out in the sun on the back porch basking in the sun working on a golden tan.  I thought nothing of it as a teenage and I started sun tanning as I became more preoccupied with my looks, only on a few occasions, thank goodness.  In the 80s our education level about the sun wasn't as good as it is now.

I discovered this photo over the weekend and knew instantly I had to share this with you.  It's staggering, and if you're not convinced that the sun is damaging to the skin after seeing this, then have fun looking way older than you actually are. 

Check this out:

The photo BELOW is of a 69-year-old man who drove a delivery truck for 28 years.  So for 28 years, the sun was on the left side of his face for several hours a day, every day.

And looking at his photo now, the right side of his face looks normal for someone in their late 60s.  But the LEFT side of his face... the side that got all the sun...  looks at least 20 years older.

Two dermatologists at Northwestern University just published a report on the man as part of their study on just how damaging the sun can be to the skin.  Their verdict is . . . it might even be more damaging than we believe.
