A tan has nothing to do with being healthy, if anyone it is simply a result of the protection your skin deems neccesary to protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun.
I'm not saying go in your house and when u go outside cover every inch of your body, but you wont get vitamin d deficiency if you do, theres enough sources in the diet, and u can even supplement for it if you feel the need to.
Sun exposure therefore leads no benefit, especially since your skin will get less elastic faster for any sun exposure you get. Burns are a real danger.
If you feel the need to validate yourself to others, i would look into the source of this instead of harming your skin.
if you choose to ignore all my advice, simply go tanning in the tan beds in the winter, suprisingly enough, once you get dark enough, theres a certain level of darkness you will retain even if you never see the sun again.
