    I am as tan as the day I was born. My daughter on the other hand is tan year round because she got all the good Indian coloring from my hubs side of the family and my poor son is pale like me! I tan every now and then but I have a few spots that are of concern so I have stopped.

    Even if I wear SPF 60 I get tanned so fast. people tease me and say I'm really half african american . I can walk down the street and you can literally see my skin change colour. I have never burnt and I dont worry about skin cancer. I know it could happen but I dont believe in obsessing when I have good skin so I wear SPF 15 everyday year round and 30-60 if I am planning on being in the sun but if I posted a recent picture you would swear I just got back from a tropical island, Everyone asks me where I have been constantly. I dont tan, I just have that type of skin that gets color easy. I dont tan but I dont aviod and I look young for my age ( I'm a grandmother)!

    By the end of summer, I'm so dark I have to use "ivory" instead of "bisque" foundation. :noway:

    Recent convo with gym buddy:

    Me: you probably can't really tell but I actually got some color this weekend
    Her: hmmm
    Me: (lifting my shirt to show the difference between my ultra white belly and slightly tan arm) See?
    Her: Ok, but you're definitely not one of my browner friends
    Me: Yeah, I AM the whitest white girl
    Her: You are the fairest of them all.

    LOL!! I love her...

    Saw that woman on CNN when I was at the gym and almost flew off the treadmill in horror!

    I don't purposely tan anymore, and wear a lot of sunblock. My husband has had melanoma removed several times (first time in his 20's), so we don't mess around when it comes to sunblock.

    That reminds me though....I was planning to throw out all of my old sunblock and replace it with new this year....

    If I get enough sun, I get lots of freckles and it kinda makes me look tan, does that count??

    Well...if you played "connect-the-dots" with all of my freckles, you'd color me in...so maybe that counts?
