If you get your tan working outdoors or doing a sport..there is not much you can do except maybe wear some sunscreen to maybe stop totally drying out..if you need to..
One has to do and be what one wants..what does it really matter what other people think...if you like it, then thats fine..if you don't, then do something to lessen the constant tanning..

I think they are at a greater risk of getting skin cancer from all those hours spent in the sun. Wear good sunscreen!

When you look black and are darker than haspanics i think then maybe you should wear some sunscreen that kinda protects you from the suns rays, instead of making you tan.

My first thought is they either look like their skin is leather or it will one day soon. Tanning is fine in moderation. But too much and you start to look like a leather bag.
i have a friend who is waaaaaaayyyy too tan. She looks gross. Her skin is starting to pucker from being basically cooked, her face looks drawn and fake.
It's just nasty.

great that you swim everyday I bet you look great....but skin damage that you did as a young person will start to appear in your early 40's and is very unsightly, worse then fake looking tan now

You really should wear sunscreen. You won't be young forever and if you keeps doing this one day your skin will look like leather.
Just some friendly advise.

Being tan is one thing. But when you're so tan that you look older than you are... is disgusting.
When I see that, I think of the old lady from "There's Something About Mary."
Too much tanning makes you look much older than you are. Yuck!!

It only bothers me if it is obvious a "fake" tan; spray on, lotion, or tanning booth. Then I think "how cheap and stupid". If it's a natural tan, I don't notice it.

Use the waterproof sunscreen or say 'hello wrinkles and skin cancer' later!
