Originally posted by 5hiftn6ears i dunno dude it just seems very wrong on so many levels...like getting burnt to a crisp, 'embraceing' the pain, wanting to see pictures of somebody's burn (which I find the creepiest)....but whatever floats your boat man

im interested/impressed in the same way most seem to be impressed with someones tan (or how dark they got) when they come back from vacation or whatever

yes, someone appreciating a sunburn is far far rarer. its a social norm it seems to be impressed w/ someone's tan, but not sunburns (though tans are incredibly dangerous and bad for your skin as well)

interesting how tans are revered in general (well the pain associated w/ sunburns is an obvious factor as to why burns aren't... but both should carry the dangerous cancer stigma!)

Umm.. I'm not interested or impressed by tans in any way. When someone comes back from vacation, I just say, "Hey, nice tan", but it really doens't go any deeper than that.

Originally posted by AdReNaLiNa you work at Sephora?? niiiice .. I have such a "kid in a candy store" experience everytime I'm there (usually Yorkdale) LOL thanks for the suggestion.. I heard a lot of celebs use that St. Tropez stuff for the girls sticking with Jergens, Walmart has it at like 4.99.. you can't beat that!

i'm such a Nivea fan, and I actually was given Jergens as a part of the birthday present before it hit the stores properly (friend works at a beauty section of a big department store) but was stupid enough to chicken out on the possible strikes on clothing/towels that passed it on as a small gift without even openning it lol

Nada, do you have any store discounts left?

this is so true! I got burned a few weekends ago and put cocoa butter on the burn right after and there was no peeling at all!

Try Vaseline Healthy Body Glow. I used Jergens a lot last summer and the smell of it made me sick. You get more in the Vaseline plus it actually feels like a moisturizer without an icky smell.

By the way, try this site www.makeupalley.com. Users rate different beauty products. It's really good especially if you are thinking of buying a new product.

Originally posted by Jem_hadar Also I just read that the "SPF" only indicates the amount of UVB protection a sunscreen produce will offer, NOT UVA. (Though that may be listed separately... but note: An approved rating system to measure UVA protection has not been approved at this time! --- I've been reading up on this shit of late, because of my natural tendency/inkling to get burned and not worry about it overly. Obviously this is bad and I should stop. But everyone who is tanning needs to realise how bad that is for them too! Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation shows itself as: - a tan or sunburn - wrinkling of the skin after long-term exposure - skin cancer and cataracts Found out that very simply put, UVB rays = sunburning rays UBA rays = aging rays

That's awesome that you researched this...


Cudos to you Jem...

Well we can't completely avoid the sun... but avoiding a burn and possible skin cancer by using sunscreen is a super good idea... whether you get a tan or not...

=D

Yea, and through sunscreen, you can actually get a tan "safely".

(Though it wont be as intense and will take a good deal longer to attain... but you've also elimated the dangers of tanning!!)

hahaha!! oh man!! i totally didn't remember that! but i DO remember 'seth'(?) being there though, who you came with...and carlos (toltec) from montreal who was crashing on my couch for a week due to being ditched in TO by his friend. lol!

anyways, i'll be at victoria beach for about a month as of june 14th and will then be road tripping back to TO around the time you'll get there. there may be a chance that we can see each other.

I heard it takes about a week to get results...

So did I. I think that's b/c each day it makes you a little darker, so if you don't want to be really dark than you can stop using it after 3 days or something.
