I grew up on the Gulf Coast, where each summer we wondered why the beach tourists had such weathered looking skin. We got several times the sun exposure year round, and the only time anyone used sun block who wasn't very fair skinned was in the beginning of the summer when you needed to develop a tan without burning. After you got the tan you never touched sunscreen.
I'll take my tan, the vitamin D from the sun exposure, and a low carb diet to improve skin along with the rest of my health.

I think it's different now - with our thinning ozone layer, melanomas are becoming much more common. Doesn't matter to me either way, though - I'm a fair skinned red head. I look at the sun and I burn.
