I did misunderstand sorry. I take tanning to mean lying out in the sun trying to go brown. Even with broad spectrum sunscreen you do still go a bit brown especially if you live in a sunny place.
There is a discussion here about you can get sun damage even if you don't tan ...which is all too confusing for my small brain  |
thanks for your detail explication.
i should not tan!  |

| Shawna? What is the mix of baking soda and ACV you use to wash your hair? I have thin, fine hair and am thinking this may help.. Many thanks.. |

 Daniel, Welcome aboard and thnx for the down to earth tips! I esp love your mention about attitude! Isn't that so true! Attitude IS everything. I read once that a Miracle is just a change in Attitude! And I really find it true. fawnie |

I just never related it to skin or hair washing. |
Our appliance repair man told us to use at least half the amount of laundry detergent because of the water here. |

Lefemme,
I do *not* mix the baking soda and ACV. Just to be completely clear... that would be hard on hair.
What I do: 1-2 tbsp of baking soda shaken up with a cup or two of water, poured over the scalp, let sit for a couple of minutes. Rinse well!
Then I add 1-2 tbsp of raw ACV to about a cup of water and pour that over the length of my hair. Let sit for a couple of minutes, add a bit to the scalp, and let sit for one more minute. Rinse!
I do this about once or twice a week and water rinse my hair the other days. I hope that helps! |

there are great tips!
but you sai Sunscreen: Is very important. Never tan!
why never tan? |
Because sunbathing causes skin damage. Have you not been paying attention helen? |
i think i misunderstand your me!aning 
if i wear sunblock, and tan, is is damage my skin?  |
First of all, if you skin tans despite wearing adequate sunblock (not just sunscreen), then you should have reapplied. The SPF tells you the duration of its effectiveness at working like melanin for your skin. Once you start gaining color, your sunblock has "died" on you and your skin is starting to damage. That your skin colors from exposure to the sun is skin damage. Melanin formation is a defense mechanism. Just like smoking or drinking is a defense mechanism for stress. Wearing sunscreen is like popping extra vitamins after being drinking and smoking. It isn't going to eliminate the fact that smoking and drinking is physically bad for us.
If we all lived is caves bereft sun for all of our lives, all of our skin would look amazingly preserved. Of course, we would all have rickets and other diseases due to vitamin d deficiency. So that's not an option. So,
Sai is right. We should all take the moderate road and avoid excessive sun exposure. Following the trend of baking your skin to beef jerky texture and color will drive you to bank-breaking visits for botox injections, face lifts, and other ridiculous solutions before you have even past your prime. Well, some (actually, most southern Californians) can't seem to live moderately. Everyone bakes themselves to look like the next Paris Hilton (man?), and then runs to the plastic surgeon's office before they've even hit 50.
Please, can someone please tell me why tanning to the point where the skin has beef jerky color and texture is attractive? It is truly mind-boggling for me. |
