I am SO pale!!!! HELP ME!

[HOLEinyoursoul]

Ok so i am wicked pale and i don't tan easily. Is there anyway (besides lotions and spray tans) that i can get a nice tan?

My best advice for you is to get used to yourself. I'm the same way--I just don't tan. In fact, I "pink". xP There's nothing wrong with being pale, it's just your natural skin tone. If you decide to use some spray tan or lotions, just be careful. I'd suggest the lotiony kind that build gradually, to avoid over-doing it, and wear a pair of gloves while you apply it. After you're done, you can rub some into your hands (no need for orange palms).

The only other way is to tan naturally, in the sun, but I DO NOT recommend this option. You know, skin cancer and all. Especially if you have a tendency to fry as it is, I wouldn't risk burning yourself just to avoid being pale.

So, learn to love yourself. Not being able to get a tan isn't a big deal, it's just the way you were born.

Well i was pale, but i got sun poisoning last summer and still have a tan line on my legs... so if you are planning to tan, i think that you should do it in moderation, and use sunblock that is not powerful.

I've personaly don't have this problem but what I would recomend is sun tanning loction with SPF block. And do it for short periods of time not like all day. Like maybe 30 min to and hour.

I'm really pale. Sometimes people can't tell if I'm sick or not. I was out in the sun for a while by accident. It was kinda like I was trying to tan but didn't notice. I got sun burned, I was so tired the next day, and my skin was burning. And I was red. Tanning doesn't work too well, as you can see from my experience.

I'm really pale too. My sister calls me a vampire. Seriously :P
But whats wrong with being pale? Its a part of you - ur natural skin tone - learn to love it :D
And, yeh, tanning sounds like a recipe for sunburn... so don't do it.. plus if u do that repeatedly, you could be increasing your chances of skin cancer, and that doesnt sound like fun..
Who wants to be satsuma-coloured anyways? :P jks..

ERRRGGG can you tan with 15 spf sunscreen on?

I think pale folks are pretty cute, actually. But hey, what do I know? I'm a freak.

If you wish to get tanned skin, there's only two ways to do so: use fake spray stuff or go out and tan. However, be mindful how you tan. If you go out and come back like a red lobster, then that's not what you want to be doing.

The other alternative, the one needing less physical work, is to accept who you are. Some are pale, some are tanned, some are brown, some are black.
