[quote]My best friend (half Sicilian, but blue eyed and fair during the winter)  tanned like a MF in our teens/early 20s and at 52 she doesn't have a damn wrinkle or age spot (even on chest, hands) and her legs are still smooth.  She also was a soccer player through college so in the sun a lot. She never burned.  A tan has a natural SPF of 4.  So I think that had something to do with it.  Also, by late 20s she never purposely tanned again and always has a big hat during the summer.[/quote]

[quote]Maybe stopping tanning helped? My friend from HS is very similar (half sicilian, blue eyes) and she's had crows feet that basically stretch from her chin to her forehead and a chest that [quote]looks like Magda's chicken skin from Something About Mary since her late 20s/early 30s. She never burns and is still a sun goddess but at nearly 40 she doesn't look anything like J. Lo, she looks extremely weathered and way older, so not sure the olive skin always helps if you abuse it.[/quote]

I would rather end up wrinkled and spend my life doing the things I enjoy outdoors in the sun - swimming, snorkeling, paddling, surfing, hiking, than staying indoors to preserve my skin.  I wear sunscreen, but am under no illusions that my skin hasn't taken a beating.  But my wrinkled face has taken kids to swim in coral reefs, raft down rivers, scramble over boulders.  I'll take the trade-off.[/quote]
