SUN
The sun is a star, but a star is not always a sun. By that logic, you could say that sunbathing on a beach has everything to do with the universe. A tan is often seen as fashionable — but while your cheeks may be rosy, it’s not that healthy. In moderation, Vitamin D and UV radiation won’t do too much harm, but without a good sunscreen, sunbathing becomes a risk. In fact, one in six Dutch people are affected by skin cancer. Is tanning to look like the stars on TV still worth it?
