In reply to Gav. Gav, thanks for your comment. I've often come across the expression "improve risks" actually, but I agree with you that increase is more appropriate, so I've changed it. :)

You increase risks, not improve them.

In reply to Jeni. Jeni, that's a good thing that you had the windows of your car tinted. It won't keep all the UV rays it but it definitely helps a lot. As for tinting house windows, I remember the windows of my old school were tinted and I hated it as even when the sun was shining and it was a lovely day outside, inside it was dark and gloomy. But in the summer months they were helpful so if the sun has damaged the interior of your house or the weather is hot for months on end, tinted windows can be a good option. Sunscreen is still a must do. :)

In reply to LatestGirls. LastetGirls, it's mostly UVB rays that cause cancer but UVA ones do contribute to it improve the risk of getting this awful disease so it's always best to wear sunscreen or moisturizer with SPF at least. :)

I got my car windows tinted when I bought it a few years ago. It’s a must here in Las Vegas, because it gets to be 120 degrees in the summer, so the tinting helps with the heat. And of course I got the tinting to protect my skin! I am still kicking myself for never tinting any of the other cars I’ve owned. I definitely have more sun damage on the left side of my face than my right from sun damage while driving! UGH. And of course I wear sunscreen too every day. The other thing I’m paranoid about are my home windows – they aren’t tinted! Tinting them will also help with preventing the carpet, furniture, pictures, etc. from fading. I’ve seen how bad the sun has damaged the interior of my old house.

In winters when I used to get cold. I get an urge to stand in sun.

I thought I was smart enough and I used to stand behind the glasses of my window and thought it is totally harmless now.

Well if it is not burning up the skin but causing cancer then it is a bad news for me.
