I try to take care of my skin by avoiding excessive sun exposure
That's a smart choice. I don't like spending much time in the sun myself.
It gets dangerous with UV exposure being the primary cause of melanoma
Melanoma is one of the main reasons I don't enjoy prolonged sun exposure and have never used a tanning bed. I'd rather be pale and cancer free. 
I get bad sunburn too from just a little exposure to the sun
I'm not sure if it's my lack of time in the sun or maybe sensitive skin, but I burn easily too. I could probably tan, but never spend enough time outside to find out. I hate the peeling skin after a sunburn too.
Yea tanned skin isn't worth the negative effects in my opinion too
I started a skin care routine to hopefully make my skin look nice for quite a while. I'd rather not end up looking leathery and reptile like. The tan now just isn't worth it in the long run.
