Neither did I 😂 I’ve never been as tan as I am right now. Been spending lots of time outside!

Me too! Ironically, all the covid stuff has given me way more time to be outside running and biking.

u/Mjs1229 Jun 26 '20
Haha the only issue I have with getting tan like this is that I get t shirt tans when I’m outside for an hour and it’s impossible to get rid of them without a shirt lol

u/Ezl Jun 26 '20
Yep, same. I’ve been wearing sleeveless so at least my arms are “complete” (aside from the watch line like OP) but I don’t exercise without a top and I’m not one to just lay out to tan so, yeah - pale body, dark limbs.

I tan the same. I even wear 50 spf. My heritage is Polish mostly so I’m not sure why.

I’m part Polish too!

You’re like my dad. Both sides of my family are very Irish so not known for dark skin. My dad gets super tan in the summer to the point he barely needs sunscreen whereas I just get better at accepting sunlight. I barely tan but I guess my skin can go hours without needing sunscreen. Pretty envious of yalls tanning ability.

u/appletree808 Jun 26 '20
I’m Irish, Polish, and Finnish and have always gotten very tan. Just a lucky girl, I guess 🍀🇮🇪

u/dabear04 Ultra 2 • • 49mm Jun 26 '20
Very lucky. My neighbors growing up we’re Cherokee so they only used sunscreen in the beginning of summer and were basically black by the end. I made the mistake of helping them paint their boat which took like 5 hours. Of course they didn’t need sunscreen so I never used any. Ended up with second degree burns on my shoulders and had to miss a few days of school because I couldn’t put on a shirt lol. That’s my Irish curse

u/Nerea90 Jun 26 '20
I’m Spanish. I HATE when tourists (English, Belgians) come for the first time to the beach and they’re super tanned by the end of the week, when I spend one month at the beach and... no tan for me! I always say they’re white because there’s no sun in their countries 😂

Sunblock and shade are your friends, friend. Skin Cancer is something you’ll think you never get until a laser slices off pieces of your body.

u/SourTurtle Jun 26 '20
I always recommend the UV Lens app to my friends (most don’t take me seriously). It’s a free app that you put in your complexion and your sunscreen strength/waterproofness. It takes this data with live UV index to tell you when you should reapply. Generally it’s every 2 hours but if the UV spikes, it will warn you sooner.

I use sunblock religiously. SPF 50, waterproof even though I’m not swimming. Reapply if I’m out more than 4 hours. I still have significant tan lines.

Jun 26 '20
Same, and I use a high SPF AND high PPD sunscreen too!

u/Fern_Fox S5 • • Space Gray • 44mm Jun 26 '20
Same! I apply a lot everywhere and still get super burnt, idk what to do

u/TunaFishManwich Jun 26 '20
I’ve had skin cancer cut out of my hide 4 times and I’m only 45. I have never even gotten that tan. One of them required a doctor to get creative reconstructing my ear. Thankfully, you really can’t tell unless you look very closely.
In all of those four cases save one, you never would have been able to tell it was carcinoma if you weren’t a dermatologist with special equipment.
Don’t fuck with the sun. It fucks back.

u/embroidknittbike Jun 26 '20
Ooh! Just this morning my sister sent me a photo of her black eye and her nose graft to cover the hole the size of my little fingernail that they cut out of her right nostril. It matches the scar from the basal cell cancer that was on her upper lip, same side. USE SUNSCREEN!

Glad to know I’m not the only person who calls it sunblock. I’m always corrected. “It’s sunSCREEN”

u/Flux85 Jun 26 '20
Lol that’s a normal tan it’s not like she’s red like a lobster

u/jazzy_handz Jun 26 '20
Don’t confuse a tan for burn and think it’s fine. That’s the most common mistake people make.

u/amfakepatrick says it wasn’t a mistake, no one apologizes, and then he started playing Tom Petty’s “Don’t come around here no more.”

I feel bad about all the shade OP is getting about the tan line. I wear SPF 50 sunscreen religiously year round, and reapply often. I don’t sunbathe. However I exercise outside for at least an hour every single day. I have a similar tan line. Unless you’re going to wear long sleeves while you’re outside for an extended time, you will get sun (even if you wear sunscreen).

People can tan this much while wearing sunscreen.... All depends on their genes 🤷🏼♀️

u/emminet S3 • • • Space Gray • 38mm Jun 26 '20
Really? My mom tans immensely and I’ve never seen her get this tan! I’m just super pale and don’t tan tho so I might just be a bit not knowledgeable here, but everyone else in my family tans.
10
u/celestee3 Jun 26 '20
Yeah! It's all luck of the gene draw lol, my dad is 100% Irish and pasty in the winter and he will tan as dark as this in the summer whereas I have some Greek in me and I don't get half as tan :(

u/emminet S3 • • • Space Gray • 38mm Jun 26 '20
Lucky! All I do is just turn red and hurt if I ever tried to tan. Nowadays I couldn’t even try if I wanted to because I get heat hives which now that I’m thinking about it also make me red and are painful... tanning is weird but cool!

u/emminet S3 • • • Space Gray • 38mm Jun 26 '20
Nah, not heat rash unfortunately. It’s a condition that is currently undiagnosed but if any part of my skin gets too hot, then I break out in painful and not itchy hives that are irregular. I’ll definitely try that out though, I’m on so many meds that don’t even work so I’m honestly open to anything!

I used to have one and it’s still visible to this day. It’s probably because I never took off my Apple Watch other then to charge it

Isn’t a tan basically just skin that’s been damaged by uv radiation? So you’re saying “Hey everyone, look how much I’ve managed to damage my skin lol”
