Two separate processes that are affected by the same source

Correlation =/= causation

You do develop calluses when you play guitar on your fingers, the calluses are the body's way of protecting itself from friction damage.

That doesn't mean playing guitar doesn't fuck up your fingers lol.

Calluses and melanin are not the same thing

At all

"admits is not "protection". I mean it is protection"?????

no shit it's only a slight protection if I don't go out in the sun very much even I can get burned up when I suddenly get a lot of sun exposure. I think you'd need consistent sun exposure in low dosages.

And guitar can

Just any other physical activity for hands

Fuck up your fingers

Do you just get your sources from weird youtube health fanatics? Cause everything you're saying sounds like you're regurgitating the same shit "health gurus" say.

>been linking a wiki this whole time

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_tanning

You already have as much melanin as you'll ever have tbh. You don't need "more melaning" to be healthier.

basic knowledge on sun tanning and you even admitted to it but you're being so rarted about it

Already seen this wiki. It literally states moderate sun exposure can promote vitamin D. Not that tanning does.

So i dont know what you're trying to prove here

Other than you dont know how to read Ig uess

Not surprising though

Usually, your natural skin tone already is good enough.

Ok but take for example Africa vs Sweden

@Bloodedge explain white people that go from white/pale to tan?

African people can take heat much better than me

that's not "all they'll ever have"

My skin would get fried

the fuck do you mean "not that tanning does"

but that sun exposure is that's the same fucking thing lol

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
