Do you try to tan?

It's so nice out here today..yay! I find myself sitting in the sun a lot in the spring, and then I start rolling up my sleeves, putting shorts on, trying not to get tan lines...then I start thinking...I really shouldn't tan, they say it's the #1 wrinkle causer.  But it feels so good!


Do you all avoid the sun or lie in it? Tanning beds? Tanning creams? Or parasols?

spring and early summer is when i love to sit out in the sun. i don't get a dark tan but i do get a nice sunglow.i tend to burn more in the summer so that is when i avoid the sun.i am fair skin so i use sunblock and i have one for faces only that i use year round. even if it is not hot out the sun can do a bit of damage.just remember you get a good dose of vitamin D from the sun! just sitting in the sunshine can change your whole outlook on things :O)

Hi,


I don't avoid the sun but I also don't lie out in the sun anymore.

I'm already tan! lol...but when I do spend time in the sun I always use an SPF of 30 or more. The sun is very dangerous to the skin....tanning beds are even worse!

I get most of my sun from gardening too Von.

You said, "I always think i look better tanned and i feel better."
