You mean self tanner was out of fashion when the orange man left the white house? |

Because bottle tan looks so much better and not fake at all.

Perhaps those reclining in the sunshine are reading a good book.
You lay something down, and people lie down by themselves. |

NP - I am in my late 40s, love the sun, still look young. Knock wood I know it can't last forever but you'd be surprised what genes can do. Not everyone gets "punished" for the transgressions DCUM is obsessed with. You can have lots of sex with lots of people as a young person and still later be in a happy marriage. You can spend time in the sun - because it feels good and you like it - and not be afflicted with leathery skin. You can eat normal food, not a restricted fasting diet, and still keep your shape. DCUM's Puritan rules don't buy you happiness, and violating them don't buy you certain punishment. |

| Conceptually, using a product to dye your skin a darker color is kind of odd. |

| As other reviewers have said, everything in moderation. I am somewhat fair skinned, but I do get tan in the summer. Never used tanning beds in high school or anything like that. In the spring I do typically use Tan Towel wipes on my legs when I still have that “pasty” look, but like others have said I really hate the smell, look, and feel of self tanner. So, I try to balance things. If I go to the beach or spend time outside, I do like to get some sun. I use SPF 30, reapply a couple times, and try not to burn. |

Exactly -- and not everyone has the same type of skin. Olive and darker skin tones can tolerate a LOT more sun exposure than the alabaster types. Not only that, but darker skin types NEED more sun exposure to produce sufficient vitamin D. No leather skin among my lifelong coastal living olive-skinned family. |

Why would self tanner go out it of fashion? |

Maybe the women OP is seeing are in the sun in moderation. Limiting their time, or wearing strong sunblock. Exposure to the sun is the only thing that helps my sister's psoriasis. |

| Sun makes me happy. I don't lie outside to get darker. |

| Because after all week long in my cold, windowless office I need sunshine. Preferably in a reclining chair, with a drink and some music. I pretend I'm at the beach. |

+1 And plenty of people truly don't care about these "punishments". I have some wrinkles. If never getting any sun would've made me wrinkle free, I would not have made that trade. I could eat nothing but leafy greens and grilled chicken to look like I did when I was twenty, but I DON'T WANT TO. |

Just wait a few more years. In his late 30s, after many years spent in the sun, my husband had spotless skin. A decade later, he became all mottled and had to get pretty extensive laser treatment. It keeps coming back, though, even without additional sun exposure. |

| If they're very fair like I am, I assume they just don't care. I say that with no judgement really, I have some outdoorsy friends and other beach sun goddess friends who aren't particularly worried they look 15+ years older than their age and have liver spots and sun damaged skin that's leathered in their late 30s. It doesn't seem to bother them. If they don't care, I guess I don't either. They definitely keep going back for more. |

| I protect my face and décolleté but sunshine is the only thing that banishes my KP, so I will keep sunbathing my arms and legs thankyouverymuch. |
