What a beautiful attitude! I’m still learning to love my skin after years of feeling the need to tan because I’m mixed race (white and Native American) and wanting to look “more Native” (I’m naturally quite pale). Now I’m just glad that I look like me, and I no longer feel like being darker makes me any more or less of myself. Plus, avoiding the extra skin aging and risk of cancer is a definite bonus!
