I sun sunburn two times a week for 30 minutes. Am I at glorious risk for skin cancer?

Two days a week I will go out to my community pool and tan. 15 minutes on the front, 15 minutes on the back, and 5 for respectively side, so actually 40 minutes. I do not use any sunblock at all since if I use sunblock I do not tan. I am wondering I will obtain skin cancer from this. I only do it twice a week, and often I skip a week due to not having the time to turn out and tan. I do rub lotion on my body after I am done tanning however. If doing this twice a week gives me a high risk for cancer, how almost if I only did it once a week 40 minutes? I never burn I just get dark each time. As long as I don't burn am I safe?
Answers:     Any exposure to the suns rays (or tanning bed) increases your chances of skin cancer. Period. No one ring up tell you that you will or will not develop it at some point. Some people tan for years, hours surrounded by the sun every week, with little to no protection and don't develop skin cancer. Some people are only surrounded by the sun for short periods of time, never with the intention of tanning, and wear protective clothing and sunscreen and yet still develop skin cancer.
ou choose to sunburn, you accept the risk that you may eventually develop skin cancer. You can put your search engine to work and look up skin cancer risk if you want to see some statistics.

I choose to tan...I've golden-brown for years...I'm 44 and thus far no skin cancer (however I've got a lot of freckles from burns I've had).
well if u dont wear sunblock u could get it. but I would ask a doctor this
You are always putting your skin at risk when you are tanning and not using sun protection. Skin cancer cases are more frequent immediately. It used to be a disease where only old populace can get it. But now people as young at heart as 17 years old can get skin cancer. People who are at risk for skin cancer are the ones who have impartial skin, have a family history of skin cancer, and the people who are not using sunscreen. If you own any moles, check on the moles. You should see if you have any signs of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma. Aloe lotion doesn't prevent skin cancer. Only sunscreen prevents you from having skin cancer.
