Gracias

So yeah as i was saying i like tanned With all due respect to those who have issues with sun protections...and wrinkles and all that....
But yet also sun protection can not protect with the sun damage, also water drinking, eatting healthy etc...i think it adds alot to the way you live ur life...even heavy alchol drinkers who wear a layer of sun protection, could easily have skin damage not via sun but via their excessive drinking...

I am a sun person..I like the sun...i hate it when its cloudly, rainy or snowy..sorry thats just me...

I don't think that anyone here has "issues" with sun protection.

You are right, there are many bad things you can do to your skin (like smoking, drinking, junk food, drugs, going to bed without removing your make-up), but it's a fact that uv rays damage unprotected skin!

Your skin has the ability to protect itself by generating melanin, but even a rather thick layer of melanin will not protect you totally from the damage... All I want to say is that the use of sunscreen doesn't hurt and can help a lot to prevent your skin from premature aging.

You can go outside, enjoy the sun and get a tan, but your skin will love you for using sunscreen while you do!

yea i agree, but i thought u only have to put sunscreen when u go to the beach?B) i mean, here there's sun always, so its a bit difficult to remember putting it all days, i dunno if u understand what i'm saying..
and i also have a question.. the skin damages if u get burned or only by getting tanned? i mean, if u get tanned day by day, does u're skin damage? (cause in that case i'm lost )

Don't worry, stersita , if you are quite tanned, your skin is protected a bit by the melanin (the pigment that makes your skin look brown). If you are just walking around in the city, your skin will be sufficiently protected by the melanin that absorbs a certain percentage of the damaging rays. (But remember: your skin only generates melanin, because it "knows" that uv-a and uv-b rays will cause a damage!) But if you sit in the blazing sun (no matter if on the beach or anywhere else), you have to wear sunscreen to protect yourself. Oh, and you should also wear sunglasses (with 100% uv rays filter) to protect your eyes and to prevent those nasty little wrinkles around your eyes that come from permanent blinking. B)

If you have rather dark skin, your self protection time is about 40 minutes; when you use sunscreen with spf 10, your protected time will be 40 x 10 = 400 minutes (about 6,5 hours) - that's the absolute maximum that you can stay in the sun without damage (and dermatologists say you should only utilize about 60% of this time). You can't prolongate this time by using the same sunscreen again, but you can use sunscreen with a higher spf. That's important for fair-skinned people like me, because otherwise I could only stay 5 x 10 = 50 minutes (at max!) in the sun ; but if I use spf 30, I can enjoy the sun for 5 x 30 = 150 minutes .

If you want to ensure that your face and hands (!) won't look wrinkly, when you get older, you should use moisturizer, lip balm and hand cream with spf (most of todays products already have that). Then you will be looking young and fresh even at a higher age (unless you smoke and drink excessively, of course ).

I didn't want to frighten you and I hope I could clear things up a bit for all sunlovers! It's not only genes and fate that decide what your skin will look like when you're 40/50/60/...

I wear spf 45 on my face every day... yes, yes, a bit excessive, but I'll be kicking myself if I get wrinkles too early. Also, it's so easy to do, there's really no excuse.

I have deathly white skin too - but we're talking completely translucent. You can see blue veins everywhere, not just on the underside of my arm. I remember this one time I was in work when I was 16 and we had to wear a white v-neck shirt which really didn't flatter my skin and one of the guys told me that the veins on my chest were like jungle vines! Needless to say I hit the self-tanner and haven't looked back for several years now. When people see me without it they tend to ask me if I'm ill or haven't been sleeping well...it really sucks that my natural skintone is so sick/ unhealthy looking. I don't tan at all so there's no point in me even going in the sun. I got the worst of both my parents - my mom's mousy brunette hair but not her ability to tan under a lightbulb, and my dad's pale skin but not his long skinny legs!


My (rambling) point is - Nicole's skin is this perfect, creamy white. No visible veins, no blue/ pink tinge....just perfect and creamy. If I had that kind of pale skin I wouldn't have been keeping the self-tanning industry in business for so many years now.

i personally think the "perfect skin" has to be a bit more tanned skin than nicole's.. but that's just my opinion (also i may have that opinion cause here i only see tanned people everywhere and i'm not used to see fair skinned people so.. ) but i have to admit nicole's skin is just amazing, it looks like she was much younger.. i suppose that's an advantage of having fair skin..B)

As said, she has a lot of treatments done. But it won't be good in the future.
Her skin reminds me of Marcia Cross in desperate housewives.
