Historically it was very fashionable for white people , especially women, to have alabaster, porcelain, or milky white skin. It was a sign of status that you could stay out of the sun all day rather than working in the fields. With the industrial revolution, that standard switched around. Now it is a status symbol if you have time to lay around and get tan, rather than sitting in an office or factory being pasty white. As a freckled, fair skinned woman prone to sunburns, I find the whole concept of tanning rather odd. I’m all about the sunscreen when I make it out of the office into the great outdoors.
