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

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

Too far from the beach (Chicago 'Burbs)
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.)

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

omg, I'm dying.:lolabove::funn:

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.
