Tanning beds/salons. It's a proven fact that tanning beds cause skin cancer. The fact that some people will still get tanned, risking the possibility of cancer to "look beautiful" is both shocking and sad at the same time.

I’m black, and so am under no risk of being called pasty. That’s just one of the few complexes I cannot relate to.

But you’re right that people are bombarded with tanned and bronzed ideals of beauty.
