However, in the dark days of winter, can the same thing be achieved in a "tanning" bed? (I just heard a collective gasp from every dermatologist I know!)

Living in Australia with a Celtic type skin is exceptionally dangerous. Fortunately our Health Gurus have recognised this and recommend 10 minutes in the sun unprotected BEFORE U.V. get dangerous that is between the hours of 10am and 4pm during summer. In winter the time is doubled to 20 minutes when available. Light coloured clothing can still allow UV to damage skin. I had two very odd sunburns due to this fact one was when I was wearing a pretty Paisley Shirt and ended up with a burn in a Paisley pattern, The other was a Broderie Anglais burn. In both cases the burns were where the light colours or minute pattern allowed the rays to hit my back. These are the only burns I can recall. There is some concern these days about the health effects of block-out sunscreens in Australia, appropriate clothing and hats seems the safest way to go.

Don't they block the UV rays? We're told to wear sunscreen every day. I have had skin cancer so I protect my skin. What about sunscreens? Don’t they block the UV rays?
