There is store in town and at the checkout there is a woman who is the colour of a rotting tangerine. She goes to the tanning booths too much and somewhere, in that warped brain, she thinks she looks good.
Also we get a lot of college girls coming into the place where I work. Orange. Again, thinking they look attractive. There is nothing attractive about skin that looks like shoe leather. Nothing.
Pale and beautiful. That's the way to go.

OMG I totally agree! I never used to wear sunscreen (but then again I never went out in the sun that much anyway...even being from a beach town.)
but what really scared me into it was a woman I worked with at a beach resort here in CA. She was one of those beach bum types.

Anyway, I was probably 24 at the time and she was 32ish... But I SWEAR she looked 45-50 with her brown wrinkly and freckly face! After that, it was all about SPF for me!

I do think it also has to do with genetics. Both of my parents are minimally wrinkly.
