Is tanning in moderation okay to do? and what would be considered "moderation"? i love to go tanning but lately i have been spray tanning.

I would avoid it: I would recommend avoiding the tanning. Spray tanning will be safer in the long run and your skin will age better. Having said that make sure you are taking Vitamin D and do get some sun exposure. Make sure you do not get a sunburn!
