Did you ever associate being tan with being healthy, successful, attractive?
I feel like I was sold a bill of goods as a younger person. Being tan was equated with so many positive things and being pale was associated with so many negative things. How about you?
Agreed! For me, I feel like people associate happiness and fun with the sun. My family could not be on vacation unless we were in the sun—at the beach or a tropical local. As a child, all the kids in my neighborhood spent their days outside at the pool. Day in, day out. It’s been a mental shift for me as well as life changes. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I have had to change my mental framework as well. Scott skincancer.net moderator
