Misccortes - you've raised another consideration: seasonal depression.
There are states in the US, and Northern European countries, where the sunshine is a precious phenomenon. There really is such a thing as sun deprived depression.
As for the pale of skin among us: you can pooh-pooh tanning all you want. Be pale, if you want. Some of the rest of us get tanned because we're outdoorsy people pursuing healthy, outdoorsy activities. Some of us are olive complected and look naturally tan. Whether you like it or not, tanning is a natural phenomenon, albeit it does not have to be out of control. I'm simply not going to give up running just because someone thinks tanning is ugly or sun exposure is too dangerous. I use sunscreen, take precautions, and...
if anyone here knows full well what the effects of sun exposure can be, besides tanning and potential skin cancer, I do - I have lupus - and sun exposure can trigger inflammation that you can't possibly imagine!
Miscortes brings up yet another consideration in how a bit of sun exposure helps with adult acne. She's not alone in this.
