I have always been a sun worshipper. Growing up as a competitive swimmer, we lived at the pool from sunup till sundown during the summers. Used to bake slathered in baby oil laying on one of those silver reflective blankets!!!!!
I'm a little smarter now, but still love the sun and being tan. I do use a tanning bed during the winter months (like to relax in the bed). I'll build a base tan with about 8 visits during a month and then maintain with one visit a week. I tan easily and also hold my tan for a long time. I don't go lots because I'll reach a certain color and not get any darker. I like Bananaberry Tini by Fiesta Sun. It smell good and also has a bronzer in it. I do use eye protection, but I'll take them off for the last minute so I don't end up with raccoon eyes.
Thankfully, my skin still looks youthful and I don't have many sun spots. Guess I was blessed with good genes!!!! Tanning is my one and only vice and I feel so much better with a tan, plus I really think it helps my mental health. And I really do spend much less time baking on my deck chair by stopping in for an occasional tanning session.
