I wish I had taken less expsoure when I was young, and more when I was older. I think moderate exposure your whole life is the best way to go. I have some extra wrinkles and some marks due to sun exposure before the age of 22. During my later 20’s and 30’s I was always protected. I learned a few years ago I am severely dificient in vitamin D, severely, and I do think it has affected my health.
My husband has said to me that my wrinkles plateaued. When he met me at 23 he thought I had a lot of wronkles for my age, but he says now at 42 I barely have any more than I did then, if any.
Tanarexia is awful though. People who are superdark all of the time don’t look good, get leatherly after a while. Obsession with the sun, like any addiction, looks ridiculous to outsiders.
