And anyone else who thinks that “tanned” equates to “healthy.” A 69-year old trucker spent thirty or so years on the left side of the cab of his truck, getting sun exposure preferentially on the left side. This sunlight differential left differential skin damage, as reported on in the New England Journal Of Medicine:

To aid in visualization, I made two modified versions… split the photo down the middle and mirrored the halves of his face. Here we have what he’d look like without the sun exposure:

And here’s what he’d look like evenly sun-exposed:

Obviously I didn’t get the mirror line quite perfect, but you can see that he looks substantially older with sun than without. Magneto has seen better days, apparently.

A  bit of advice for all you Hot Chicks that I know read the blog: You looks best when you are what you are, not when you try to be what you think society wants you to be. Because society is a schizophrenic retarded monster. If you are black-skinned, be happy with that; anyone tells you to use skin lightener, you tell ’em where to cram the bottle. If you are white and pale… avoid sun over-exposure and tell tanning salons and tan-in-a-can pushers that they are no less racist than the skin lighteners.
