ppl take that "go out and get some sun" shit to an extreme
@ramfrog I never said too much wouldn't hurt us lmao retards are saying tanning in general is bad and it's not you obviously don't tan for too long but tanning in general is good for you hence the vit D boost and absorption.
when it comes to vit d
There's limitless information out there talking about tanning and what it does to your skin
If you're tanning you're getting too much. Unless you can manage to tan in less than 20 minutes. But I dont know anyone who can.
I mean tanning is just not necessary to boost and absorb vitamin D either.
"Melanin is a natural pigment produced by cells called melanocytes in a process called melanogenesis. Melanocytes produce two types of melanin: pheomelanin (red) and eumelanin (very dark brown). Melanin protects the body by absorbing ultraviolet radiation"
literally makes melanin by absorbing the sun and creating vit D.
Just exposure to the sun is enough.
@Bloodedge it's a large part in creating VitD and absorbing it I already mention milk and other diary helping you as well(which is common for races like white people)
Yea, melanogenesis is a thing, you are misunderstanding what melanogenesis is tho. Melanogenesis doesn't mean you're going to get tanned as fuck because melanin.
I know
You already have as much melanin as you're going to have.
but
you can create melanin hence why some white people will get tanned and some just burn
You can create it but your body already produces as much as it will ever make. Only thing you are doing while out in the sun is giving your body an energy boost to put it that way, you don't necessarily have to tan to see the benefits of exposure to the sun either.
i think that might just be peaking in melanin and your body going back to normal levels after a while
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.
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
