Arugula,
I have not seen you around here lately. If you are still checking in would you please direct me to a website that lists the dangers of sun exposure. Thank you.

Hello nameless person. I have been busy with school, today was the first day in I don't know how long that I checked this site.

I can send you some papers that concentrate on skin sagging and wrinkling if you provide an email addy. They are technical.

Here are some links:

"something like 90 percent of all the visible signs of
aging are from ultra-violet sources," said Dr. Kerry Hanson.
"Photoaging is not just a cosmetic effect. It destroys the
integrity of your skin."

There are also some ok pages from [medlineplus.gov] on sun damage.
