Don't tan in Japan!
In Japan it is considered beautiful to have fair skin. The fairer skin the more beautiful is the woman. The even got whitening facewash, skin lotion or day cream (see pic). Women could come up to me on the street and point on my tanned arms or shoulderns and then point out to me that I should cover my skin and not get any 'browner'. 'Sun is not good for you' they often said but I realised that they meant that tanned skin is not beautiful. ;)Many japanese doesn't wear shorts, short dresses or short-sleaved shirts or tops for this reason. They use caps or hats with HUGE brims to keep the sun from their face. Also gloves with long sleeves to protect their arms are very popular. Many can wear all that and still walk around with a parasol or umbrella for extra protection. That's the japanese way. :)Pic Source:...
