Sorry! I should know by now. Here’s an excerpt.

“Sunburns have long been associated with an increased risk for skin cancer, but tanning raises the risk, too, said Dr. Patricia Farris, a dermatologist in Metairie, La.

Tans and sunburns are caused by exposure to two types of ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun. Ultraviolet B rays cause sunburns, and ultraviolet A rays penetrate more deeply and induce tans. Both types of UV rays can cause DNA mutations that raise the risk of cancer, Dr. Farris said.

“When indoor tanning became vogue, they pushed the narrative that tanning could be done safely as long as you don’t burn,” she said. “Almost immediately, dermatologists began seeing younger and younger patients with skin cancers and particularly melanoma.””
