[quote=Anonymous]I'm 52.

So I lived through the 70s-90s which had a tan culture.  Tans were considered healthy!!

My god did we tan.  Baby oil, laying out on roofs, at the pool from 11am-4pm.  There were contests on 'the tannest'.   I'm not proud to say--I won that hands down every time.

I also was on a soccer field in hot boiling sun from the time I was 5-18.  Then I was a runner.

I developed melasma on my face at 24 and then shunned the sun.

I have to say.  I have no sunspots on my chest or face or hands. My skin is not crepey or wrinkled.  My face is virtually wrinkle free--no horizontal forehead lines (never botox there) just some crow's feet (not even bad--but a bit of dysport).

I am really surprised my chest doesn't even have a freckle because it would literally peel off with the first sunburn of the season to prep for the tan (god the 80s!).  Did I mention some tanning beds too?

Genetics really matter.  I have olive skin and I still get complimented on it.  I wish to hell the Sunscreen/Sun safety was known when I was a child/teen.  I imagine how much more my skin would even be now.[/quote]
