Tanning Will Cause Cancer

[whiteyfunn]

Yea everybody, but should I renew for another month?

Try Jergens Natural Glow lotion. It works for me.

It's less expensive and a time saver. Be sure to wash your hands.

Thanks Whitey. That is what I usually use. The Vaseline brand is good too.

Even on tanning...my words to live by...."Everything in moderation, including moderation."

Brown fat looks better than white fat. Fake or real.

True DD and brown muscle tone looks better and more defined than white muscle tone!

Me think not! Bring on the sun!

I can't speak for muscle tone...only for fat.

I'm so sorry about your brother.

Thank you so much.

As for the rest of this thread, lots of good info. Love, love, love the tinted moisturizers. Also love Clinique self-tanner for my legs (not so great for the face.) Completely agree with hnooe2000 on the moderation comment. LMAO at Nohall and DD! And Steelemama, if it makes you happy and you can live with the potential risk, by all means renew for another month. (But Skunky and SJ have really made me think twice about ever using a tanning bed again.)

omg, I'm dying.

I've grown accustomed to my white fat and try like hail to keep it so. would like to have some muscle tone one day though.

I don't think the tan is nearly as "desired" by people these days. when I see a super tanned person, it isn't all that attractive, imo. some color looks great. very tanned - well, just unattractive on several levels is all I can say.

this is what I've learned after all these years, and I so wish I had learned it when I was in my twenties!
1. wear the appropriate moisturizers containing sunscreen for face and body all year long, even if its cloudy and raining. just do it.
2. when on the beach find shade, sit under umbrella, and enjoy short amounts of time in full sun.
3. wear a hat.
4. go to the beach in early morning or late afternoon/early evening to enjoy in comfort, away from the most extreme heat/sun.
5. teach my kid that sunburns are to be avoided, and that his skin is the largest organ of his body - protect it from permanent damage.

I had nieces and nephews visiting this spring and one very fair 13 year old nephew had a terrible sunburn after forgetting to apply sunscreen to his face that day. it was cool outside, he was even wearing a shirt. I was furious with his parents and it feels almost like child abuse since we know so much better now. yes, he's old enough to care for his own skin - every teen should know better. many are still in the dark.

My brother died of soft tissue melanoma. And for the most part, I am a cautious sun-worshipper - slather myself in SPF 50 and reapply incessantly. And I've been known to do a little pre-tanning at a salon before traveling to the Caribbean. But if the sun doesn't get me, something else will - probably the plastic Aquafina bottle sitting on my desk that I've been refilling for weeks on end (or perhaps the Lake Michigan water I fill it with.) Nah, I take that back - the ultimate cause of my demise will be texting and driving. A much more likely cause of harm than actually using the cell phone as a phone.......and I don't really know where I'm going with this but, there, I've said it.

I'm sorry for your loss Lindatat.

Add in blonde hair, fair skin, baby oil and the use of a reflector and ONLY going out between 10 and 2pm I'm so there...at least we can keep each other company.

well you gotta have funn, now don't ya. hey, if people like to bake in the sun the same way we like to drink and smoke, wail I say they oughta do it and enjoy! and maybe they are doing it all at once, they way we used to do it.

but for some reason, I just don't like baking in the sun anymore. not funn at all. so, its easy for me to adopt a healthy skin routine. but I'm not doing so good on the other health choices.

We didn't care about what we were going to look like in 25-30 years now did we? I just knew I looked HOT with a good tan. My favorite thing to do was lay out in the sun. I still like to tan but I do use sunscreen. 30SPF at the beach and at least a 15 here. You know after you turn 40 it seems like every year you notice something new happening to you. This year for me (43) it's my arms and my hands. More freckles or age spots and the skin is not as firm as it used to be. And then I have 2 age/sun spots near my neckline. Does it keep going downhill from here?

Lemon juice in the hair & Crisco or baby oil to tan faster by the pool in the backyard. Tried the SunIn stuff, but my hair turned GREEN from chlorine reacting to it, ended up with a really short hair cut.

I pretty much didn't tan except for a few times in my 20's & now in my mid 30's, I'm trying to learn to use sunscreen because I don't want wrinkles yet!

Me too to all that!

I can tell you a couple of things that have gone down hill since breastfeeding....

[sandybanks]

I think you have a better shot of making it by tanning all day in the bed and ditching the Alex Jones addiction.

.

You want answers, do you want answers? so does he baby, Alex Jones Monday-Friday from 11:00-3:00 and on Sunday 4:00-6:00. I listen to him every weekday and got to say he has some great information on his sites. In fact I am listening to him right now.

As far as tanning goes, I just go to the beach.

Crisco!! Tanning aid of choice back in the day. No wonder I look like a piece of bacon.

Absolutely not! You are perfect the way you are. And you know of so many better ways to spend your time and money. Or waste it on kids. Get a massage for Pete's sake.
