I don’t burn and I don’t tan...ever. I used to try and get a suntan but it didn’t happen so I gave up. These days I do spend a good amount of time outdoors in all weathers, I wear shorts and short sleeves but never ever get a tan line or anything.
I wish my skin was in better condition as my arms are somewhat sun damaged, but I wouldn’t have missed the fifty or so years of outdoor sports and hiking which made it the way it is.
Just wondering really. I do sun be the but always with sun cream on and go moderately brown. But am in Tenerife at the moment and gave noticed different shades of 'tan' and ut jyst started me thinking. As you do !! My father was a great sun worshipper all his life and used to go brown as a berry and never wore cream.
