those spots and blotches are caused by a lack of melatonin, the older you get, the more common this becomes. Your skin is damaged, suggest you stop tanning and protect yourself as best you can from the sun.

Idk what the hell happened but the next time you 'tan' don't sit in one spot. Alot of people don't know that sitting in one spot won't get you a good tan. Go for a walk on a sunny day or run around with your friends around town in the sun. If u burn easily, then put lotion on your shoulders and cheeks[i mean ur face] and try and stay hidrated. All my friends & i are the hottest girls around b/c they took my advice. You will be cool too if you do. Trust me!!!!
