You don't "build tolerance" to UV. Developing a tan will help avoid getting sunburn in the future, but it does nothing at all to reduce your risk of skin cancer

You don't "build tolerance" to UV. Developing a tan will help avoid getting sunburn in the future, but it does nothing at all to reduce your risk of skin cancer. Sunscreen doesn't just stop sunburn, it also prevents cancer.
