I guess I am like you that my skin is holding up really well for my age...I will be 49 my next birthday and don't have any age spots but do have wrinkles...but I attribute them to laughter, cause when I laugh, that is where the wrinkles light up! And I am with you on the sun helping you feel better! I really get SAD (not sure what that stands for - some type of disorder you get on bleak winter days without sunshine) during the winter months. |
SAD = seasonal affective disorder. My roots are mostly fair skinned europeans. I have very green eyes and although my hair was literally gold colored when I was a toddler, it has been varying shades of brown since then. I don't know why I rarely burn, cause my sisters fry. I have one brother who has my skin tone and another who gets huge blotches from too much sun exposure - some kind of allergic reaction. I'm 47 this year and just satring to have a few wrinkles, mostly the smiling eye wrinkles.
