Tanning can lead to skin cancer

The American Academy of Dermatology has created a public service campaign that asks the question??At what age is the color that your skin was meant to be, no longer beautiful??

The goal is to reach out to teens and young adult women who use tanning beds. Every year millions of young women try to change the skin they were born with by tanning, and ultimately damaging, their skin.?

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, melanoma is the second most common cancer in teens and young adults ages 15 to 29. And one person dies from melanoma every hour.?

Skin cancerThe video asks young people to?change?their thinking, not?their skin.

You can see the video below.
