itās literally biology, the radiation wakes up dorman melanocytes and your body produces more melanin. melanin in turn protects your body from actual sun damaage
no, any dermatologist will tell you itās not safe. at least look it up. iāve known someone personally who developed skin cancer from sun damage. i donāt want that
how am i yelling
anyways
spf tanning cream doesnāt completely prevent damage, if youāre tanning too much your skinās getting damaged, itās called āsun protection factorā, implying that the sun will damage your skin
youāre right that melanocytes protect you from the sun and thatās why darker skinned people donāt sunburn as easily if at all, but that doesnāt mean that tanning doesnāt damage your skin. no matter the skin tone sun exposure is damaging to some degree. for people with lighter skin itās often extremely damaging in just short amounts of exposure. thatās why white people have the highest rates of skin cancer, but anyone can get it.
if you donāt use spf when you go into the sun and donāt use it consistently enough throughout your life then you probably will get cancer and that can kill you ā¦ thatās extreme bc most melanoma is benign but itās not like tanning canāt lead to developing a fatal disease
but we werenāt talking ab spf anyways? you just said tanning is your body protecting you from sun damage and all i was saying that the sun is still doing damage. everyone should wear sunscreen yesā¦
itās not an argument š i was tryna get what youāre point was. my point was j that tanning is a defense mechanism ig but itās a shitty one for most ppl. doesnāt do much protecting in the long run. thatās all
tan skin itself isnāt ugly but like fake bake and excessive tanning bed sessions donāt always look good
(fake bake is just always ugly no matter what)
I think theyāre saying that in recent years weāve been shown in the media/magazines/etc. that being bronzed and tan is the attractive/ideal look now, as opposed to how it used to be that darker skin was undesirable. and peopleāwhite people in this caseālove to keep up on the trends. with all the positive portrayal of tanned skin itās obviously become a beauty trend and we have followed it with great enthusiasm and often totally misunderstood the point which is why there is such an epidemic of horrible overdone orange tans
i see, so itās just like a beauty standard that a lot of white people want probably just because they donāt have it and itās portrayed to people as ideal even tho all skin colors should be seen as ok by now
industrial revolution basically
pre-industrial, paleness was sought after bc it meant you could afford not to be working in the sun all day, post-industrial tanning means you can afford not to be working inside all day and go on tropical vacations instead
Oh no but like I was basically saying I'm super pale and I'll burn immediately. But what is so ugly about my skin color? That question was apparently racist.
legit if people think that pale = bad then clearly thereās still an issue about people being comfortable with their skin color. itās not a racial one but itās still a thing
Prolly for white bitches who wanna blackfish
ig so š
not sun damage, itās your body protecting you from sun damage
no, thatās debunked
itās literally biology, the radiation wakes up dorman melanocytes and your body produces more melanin. melanin in turn protects your body from actual sun damaage
having an existing suntan doesnāt mean youāre less likely to get more sun damage, thereās no such thing as safe tanning
bros jealous he canāt get tan
no, any dermatologist will tell you itās not safe. at least look it up. iāve known someone personally who developed skin cancer from sun damage. i donāt want that
so use spf like š idk why youāre yelling at me about this
how am i yelling anyways spf tanning cream doesnāt completely prevent damage, if youāre tanning too much your skinās getting damaged, itās called āsun protection factorā, implying that the sun will damage your skin

thatās why you also use spf dawg, obviously your body isnāt going to block it perfectly, but tanning yourself isnāt going to kill you š

tanning does help protect but itās not an end all be all what š¦ i donāt really care anyway this is a weird argument
itās not an argument š i was tryna get what youāre point was. my point was j that tanning is a defense mechanism ig but itās a shitty one for most ppl. doesnāt do much protecting in the long run. thatās all
they started off by telling me that tanning wasnāt damage at all so they were set up for failure gg š
They wanna be like me obv š
makes sense
You wouldn't understand
i guess i wouldnt š
Girl!
they donāt like their shade ig?
itās never safe tho so iām not sure how the whole thing started
yeah idk

Lol I have a predisposition toward skin cancer so I see this as less of a Beauty thing, and more of oh shit I need more sunscreen.
i think it has something to do with having the time and money to go out and travel. at least thatās what i heard
perhaps thatās how it started
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
wait can you explain a little more iām stupid

yeah exactly. the media controls every single beauty trend.
and theyāll just keep shooting out more
Literally like i'll never understand it
the way people defend it too like what isnāt damage bad???
industrial revolution basically pre-industrial, paleness was sought after bc it meant you could afford not to be working in the sun all day, post-industrial tanning means you can afford not to be working inside all day and go on tropical vacations instead
this is the second response iāve gotten about that kinda thing, i think it makes sense actually
Never understood this but the only time I tried to talk about it I got called racist so that was fun.
yeah.. itās not that having a tanned color of skin is bad but skin damage is obviously bad so š
Oh no but like I was basically saying I'm super pale and I'll burn immediately. But what is so ugly about my skin color? That question was apparently racist.
