I don't have a perfect answer for this but we could make a discussion about it.
Does tanning really worsen your skin more than it protects its self from future UV exposure? This idea first came to mind when you see Jersey Shore and you got Pauly D looking younger than the situation despite being older and tanning every day. I've experimented with tanning on the lowest levels available with normal duration and upping the time gradually. I didn't want to touch MT2 since it increased chance for moles so I use L-Tyrosine to increase melanin production to boost the tanning results. I am mid 20's and people think I am 20 based on skin quality when I clean shaven and 22 when I get that masc stubble. Only babyface facial feature I got is a small lack of jaw size, if anything I got a strong brow ridge that does not belong to a young face.
Now I learned about beta carotene and astaxathin from a SH thread, people thought I was 19 now after this. These are good to add with tanning since it improves your ability to tan from UV exposure with less damage than before.
Are people like me just lucky with skin genetics, or can maintaining a tan protect the skin?
