Though conventional wisdom that says that any level of sun exposure is dangerous is being challenged (mainly because of sunlight's role in vitamin D synthesis), most experts agree that too much sunlight is dangerous and damaging to your skin. Despite the potential risks, as a mostly-pale Midwesterner, I personally like to have a real tan at least a few weeks out of the year. What (if anything) do the rest of you do for a lil’ color?
TANNING
There was also supposed to be an option for those of you who were blessed with plenty of natural color, but for some reason it dropped off of the poll.
I'd love a tan but there's no way I'd subject my skin to the kind of damage the sun causes. Skin will age quicker and look really poor as you get older.
There's also no chance of getting a spray on tan as I consider this too metrosexual for even me.

my tan actually came from many years of playing sports but i maintain it with the beach :D

OK I live in the interior of Alaska, Yes we do get 23 hours of daylight in the summer and we can get a tan then. But with winter being very cold, (we still can get tanned and even sun burned outside in winter) we use tanning beds. I like to just have a bit of color and also it makes me feel better during our long winter months.

I love the sunless, tanning lotions and Mystic spray tans. You get so much darker, within one session that lasts a couple minutes and it doesn't give you cancer, or wrinkles!
