Tanning/SPF/Suncare Thread - In which we chase that orange glow (no melanoma please)

[Vulva Gape]

I've been trying to use sunbeds less frequently, I don't want cancer

I get a VersaSpa spray once every three weeks or so (non quarantine) and use sunbeds, mainly 5% UVB or less like two times a week. It makes me feel happier, I think I have mild SAD so it's a good thing for my mental health.

I've tried to get more into selftanners, because I know I'm probably going to be wrinkly as hell when it all catches up with me. But frying yourself in a bed is kind of addictive.

SPF wise, I try to use zinc on my face when I'm surfing/outside the whole day. I don't use sunscreens normally because it gives me a breakout and most of the ones I've tried have this weird cast. Any recs?

 

[Light is making your body]

you don't use sunscreens because they give you a breakout? you'll be breaking out in melanomas if you continue to use sunbeds.

It's my vice. Some people eat junk food or do drugs mine is giving myself skin cancer.

I look pasty as hell without it so I don't care. Melanoma can't stop me

Just eat so many carrots your skin turns orange m8

I have to use a special sunscreen because I'm allergic to most kinds

Get a sun lamp if you're self-medicating for self-diagnosed SADbrain. Go to a steam bath or sauna if you like the frying sensation.

Just embrace your alabaster skin, my dear.

BCC skin cancer.

Embrace the farmer tan lifestyle. You get used to working in heavy cotton shirts in the summer. The only cancer I’m getting is lung and throat.

My girlfriend in middle/high-school tanned twice a week from 12 to 20. Saw her again recently, her skin looks like leather.

i think the hue you get from beta carotene is better than from tanning, so id just recommend those supplements. uva and uvb exposure just sort of sucks lol, from cancer to photoaging.

if you use spf or sunblock, make sure its mineral rather than silicone.

I honestly think that makes you look a little jaundiced and sickly if you take too much. But it's worth a try.

My spray tan looks super orange too. The tan you get from the sun is definitely the best look, but the most harmful.

I used to be addicted to lying out in the sun for hours a day... until I started taking a vitamin D supplement regularly. It doesn't do much for my looks but I think genetics pretty much screwed me over there anyways.

Jergens Natural Glow is the best self-tanning lotion that I've found. It develops closer to what my skin turns in the actual sunlight as opposed to dying my skin orange. Not perfect but close enough.

lol, i guess it depends on how much you take. Same could be said about sun tans and when you get into trump skin hue category.

drifting a bit to the misc esque discussions with this suggestion, but you could always take a look at mt2 injections.

Don’t make me DM you pictures of the skin cancer they cut outta my scalp, dude

I mean I've been baking in the sun ever since I was a little kid and then my dad bought me smokes since middle school. And I don't have cancer. My doctor can tell me I'm gonna die all he wants but if I don't see it I don't believe it. Fuck off with that shit.

Why don't you autists go outside a McDonalds and yell at all the fatties who are eating themselves to death? There are so many fucking deathfats everywhere I look, and instead of being shamed out of society they fucking get applauded as they down the next big whooper with their greasy fingers and I can't fucking be in the sun cause I like it? I have to slather on pounds of chemicals or else I'm literally dying? Me being tan only makes bitches wanna fuck me. Fatties fattening hurts everyone because we have to see them in public

I know it's "unhealthy", but the karens reeeing and telling me I'm literally killing myself only make me want to do it out of spite even more.

We would if they made a thread about how much they loved getting fat at McDonald’s. Ain’t nobody followed you around outside a tanning salon and said you were going to die lol

You should never use tanning beds. UV light destroys your skin. Do you WANT to look like a 40 year old in your twenties?

Going to Cancun this December. Any high SPF, reef friendly sunscreen that you guys recommend?

Thinksport is ocean-friendly IIRC and available at Target where I’m at. Doesn’t break me out, either, and my pores live to get clogged.
