Tan without aging your skin?

In ancient times, fair complexion was associated with wealth and prosperity. That's probably because the rich didn't have to work in the fields that much. This view still exists today in some traditional societies. In many developed countries nowadays, however, the reverse is true, probably because the rich can afford to travel or sunbathe on the beach and the poor have to work indoors. Excessive ultraviolet from sunshine ages your skin more quickly. You may be prone to develop wrinkles, brown or black spots and plaques, spider veins, and skin cancers including malignant melanoma (very aggressive). High-number sunblocks are important but I don't recommend sunbathe or go to salons for tanning. I think tanning lotion is a much better alternative. Or you may wish to rebel against the faddy view on skin color. You can take some vitamin D to prevent its deficiency. For adults, 5000 IU vitamin D per day is considered safe but no more than that. Multiple vitamins usually contains up to 1000 IU vitamin D. If you have kidney failure you need a different type of vitamin D. Ask your nephrologist.
