I too was one who used to lay in the sun & bake I have a discoloration on my left shoulder that gets really ugly looking if I get too tan. That along with the medications I'm on now is the reason I don't tan any more. I don't want to get skin cancer or ugly blotches on my skin...it's just not worth it. So I guess I just have to live with my pasty skin (or use rub on-yes I use it occassionlly & it doesn't make me orange ).
