Pretty much, if you're white as shit, tanning might give you that aesthetically pleasing look, but you're going to go back to your normal skn color after you shed off all your skin.

oh I agree that you don't tan and gain benefits all at once in fact just being in the sun gives you vitamin D I just said in the process you can create melanin and protect your skin it's just a benefit of the sun.

Which the body pretty much does every period of time which I can't remember off the top of my head.

yeh just think of all the random skin flakes u prob ingest throughout the day

I've seen many white people tan actively by doing work and they don't really go back to being white I don't see that as a huge health issue considering how active they are and despite that their skin is fine.

yum

pretty sure a lot of sun screen is garbo tho like I don't really seen any benefits of it unless I go to a beach in which case you get blasted with high amounts of sun anyways.

lmao their skin is all fucked up from the environment they work in tbh. There's nothing fun about environmental skin damage tbh. For example, if you are someone who is a fisher in a coastal area where it is sunny almost year round, your skin is going to be salt-cracked and very damaged as opposed to someone who does office work.

Sure, it might not look damage from afar, but once you touch it you can tell the difference.

SALT CRACKED yes ofc that's literally salt not to mention being on the open seas so often

Not to mention the sun, the sun hurts your skin. Sun screen you use to avoid excessive damage. And that depends a lot on what kind of skin you got.

Usually the lighter you are in skin tone, the higher SPF you need.

<:FeelsKek:379422423206068245> it's pretty pointless to me unless I got to the beach

I use sunscreen whenever I am out working in sprinkler repairs tbh.

have never been burned unless I went to the beach and didn't use sun screen(swimming like nearly all day that's a lot of sun to begin with)

I do work under the sun a lot, so I have to watch it.

lol

it's recommended 2-3 hours of sun

that's not going to kill you

i always hate on the little asian ladies in chinatown with their fuckin umbrella hats in 90 degree weather

Literally where suggests 2-3 hours lol

but they prob got the right idea

especially if you're not at the beach

EVERYWHERE I've ever looked the max is like 30minutes a few times a week

I mean it's not going to, but it also depends WHEN you're taking those two to three hours of sun. If you take them early in the morning or late in the evening then, sure, 2-3 hours is not much.

no doubt they're considering coastal enviornments

I wouldn't be out there between 10-4 tho without sunscreen lmao

not if you take breaks it'

Also there is such thing as too much vitamin D. And it doesn't take too much to start doing shit. It isn't notable on a small scale ofc, takes time. But your body has a limited capacity for it until it just goes to other places like your blood, where it isn't needed

it's not hard tbh

Does something with calcium from there

idk

hence the "too much"

It doesn't take much to have too much.

Vitamin D helps absorb calcium

how would you explain our ancestors sun exposure then? they didn't have mass deaths due to cancer.

Because they died from other shit first....

^

The average age to develop a cancer like that is 65.

We weren't living to 65 regularly.
