Controlled damage to the skin. You're deliberately cooking your skin to a nice tan, or damaging it.
Why do you think people who tan use tanning oil?
that's not what melanin is
Sunscreen won't get you shit.
that's sun burning
the lack of melanin
Bruuuuh
Sunscreen protects your skin from burning by repelling UV rays.
The opposite of what you want in a tan.

Sun screens aren’t to protect you from tans
Yes they are.
yes because a lot of people that tan TAN for long periods of time which increases the likelyhood of burning
They’re to protect you from UV rays
they also do it during peak hours
If you repel UV rays you don't tan.

<:feels:280645240572870656> but I do
their point isn't to get more tan it's to get more Vit D
That's probably because you're using the wrong SPF index.
But the proper SPF shouldn't get you tanned.
SPF index is how much UV rays does the suncreen allow to pass.
<:FeelsKek:379422423206068245> uses random spf sun screen at beach
The lowerst is like 5, the highest is SPF 100.
it's a farce
“Of course you can still get tan while wearing sunscreen,” Serrador says. “It all depends on the strength of the SPF.”
just get more melanin bro stop being a pale skeleton get that sun
“There is no sunscreen that will block 100 percent of UV rays, so your skin — especially if it burns easily — may still get some color even with it on, just at a slower rate.”

sun bathers that go for tans are just subconsciously going for Vit D it's just natural bros.
Um
Finally after much searching, I have found the discord xD
Nice
Seems like an interesting conversation
Very
I tan, I don't go to tan because I want all that Vitamin D.
I got here about 5-10 minutes ago and I still don’t understand
I do it for A E S T H E T I C S
but you still get vit D due to it
